It's creeping me out that there's no 'a' in 'independence'. It sounds like it should have one at least, but no. Weird.
I've decided that Independence Day must be one of President Bush's favorite movies. It opens with Bill Pullman playing a charismatic but unpopular president. Soon, though, foreign powers (aliens) arrive and, seemingly without warning, destroy many recognizable and memorable US buildings. (Oh, and the Vice President. Take that, Cheney!)
"Jeff Goldbloom did bring us a document, I believe it was entitled 'Aliens determined to attack the Earth'..."
The President then orders a disastrous first attack on the attackers in Houston that does more harm than good and in fact, didn't really accomplish the goal they said they were going after.
But in the end, the president gives an invigorating, inspirational speech, then gets to go onto the battlefield, flying a jet fighter and saving the world from the aliens.
Seriously, isn't that Bush's dream presidency right there?

The amount of patriotism in that movie made me want to vomit.
