I considered just leaving this alone - probably it doesn't deserve this much attention - but The Scotsman has run a 'movie review' about the recently released movie "Kingdom of Heaven" in which Merryl Wyn Davies simultaneously says - well, it's hard to know what Davies is saying, because the review goes round and round and doubles back on itself a lot, but Davies says that although "Scott attempts to import a confused liberal's wish fulfilment into history" this movie "provides a fig leaf for pre-emptive democracy building"? And both those quotes are from the first paragraph, mind you. Very bizarre.
By the way, the British spelling of "fulfillment" is "fulfilment", in case you're wondering.
UPDATE: See this "Kingdom of Heaven" post at the Bookworm Room for a different take on this. Be sure and read the comments. As Bookworm points out (in the comments), there is an old saying about "to a hammer, everything is a nail"...
