Wag the Dog Rating: ** Date Seen: 1998-01-16 This movie, about the president's campaign team getting together with a Hollywood producer to create a fake war and win the election, had some very funny moments. The moment which stands out in my mind is when they took pictures of the refugee fleeing Albanian terrorists to be shown on the national news ... in front of a blue screen. The disappointing part is the ending. The movie does a good job of building up for a hilarious ending to the campaign with the "war hero's" return. Alas, we are left empty. Even so, there is some very strong comedy here, particularly during the first hour, and I was left with some very funny moments to remember.

Source code is like Manure.  If you spread it around, things
grow.  If you horde it, it just smells bad.
