Wow, I'm genuinely impressed with that WSJ article. Somehow he manages to make every single individual sentence either an out-and-out lie or shamelessly misleading. Not bad for someone who obviously hasn't even seen the movie.

all the africans are the same to the racist stranger. It was a Libyan truck driver, not a Liberian soldier.

that senator's poor son is thinking, "god dad, how many times do i have to go see rent before you get a clue?"

Liberian, Libyan—we all know who did it: Mudede!

Libyan, yes, but "Blue liberian librarian" is a pretty good toungue twister.

Libyan! Sorry! It was 1:30 in the morning, people!

Anyway, it's fixed.

There's never been a recorded instance of homosexuality in my family, either.

We don't own a video-camera.

the WSJ editorial page is always lies - I always skip past it - the rest of the paper is pretty darned good, though.
