$100 million and counting

In my post about Fahrenheit 9/11, I said the movie was going to do over $100 million at the box office.

Some friends of mine who don't share my political views took umbrage with that. I made a bet with one of them.

Guess what? I won.

I'll repeat what I said in my original post:

"Finally we have something to vent our pain with. And that is why this movie is going to do over $100 million at the box office before its done. And that is why America is so polarized. And that is why George W. Bush may well lose an election when the economy is turning sharply in his favor."

I can't believe anybody thought it wouldn't do those numbers.

since when does a friendly bet turn into a public flogging? i'm going to have to be be more careful with you. and to say we don't share the same political views is as gentle a statement as i have ever seen you make. want to bet double or nothing on the election?...
