This week I’m going on a little bit of a documentary film binge.

It started on Monday when Diary of a Political Tourist made its debut on HBO. It’s about the Democratic presidential race from the primaries until the convention this past summer. It’s done by the same lady who made Journeys with George, which is about George Bush’s 2000 campaign. I’ve got this one in my Netflix queue.

Today I’m watching Bush’s Brain and Fahrenheit 9/11. Bush’s Brain is about Karl Rove, who a lot of people think has more to do with shaping our national policy than our president. I’m sure just about everbody has heard about Fahrenheit 9/11, but I’ve never seen it before.

Tomorrow I’ll be watching Supersize Me, which takes a look at the fast food industry. It may be a while before I go to McDonald’s again after I watch this one.

In my Netflix queue I have Bush Family Fortunes: The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. I’m sure it covers a lot of the same stuff as Fahrenheit 9/11, but I’ll watch it anyway. It currently has a long wait, so I’m not sure when I’ll get to see it.

If I need any reasons to dislike our president and fast food restaurants, I’m sure I’ll have them by the time I am done. It might not watch any movies for a while after this weekend.
