Great review, Louis.

I'm really looking forward to seeing this, although I imagine it won't play in 
my city.

 I assume that Vladimiro is saying that the USA sponsored ISIS. In fact, 
 as the NYT reported today, the group is one part the reactivated 
 al-Qaeda in Iraq, the jihadist group led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and 
 one part remnants of Saddam Hussein's officer corps. In other words, the 
 people who were either blowing up Shiite mosques or setting off IED's. 
 It is only in the weird world of the anti-imperialist left that such 
 people can be regarded as having been cooked up by the USA.

I don't know what Vladimiro means by sponsors, but how is that Saddam 
Hussein's officer corps became remnants of Saddam Hussein's officer corps?  Was 
there an Al-Qaeda in Iraq prior to 20 March 2003?

We ended up with a Wall Street presidency, a drone 
presidency, a national security presidency.

I'm sorry, but what other kind of fucking presidency is there?

I guess I'm working under the assumption that qualifying presidency with 
Wall Street and drone and national security is a bit redundant.
