Today, I received the latest installment of "Mike's Message" in one of my e-mail accounts. I've received this newsletter for several years now. In this installment, like most installments, Mike is talking about himself. He is very proud of his new movie and happy that it will be released (by Lions Gate Films) in America, and says:
"And, as an added bonus, Lions Gate is a Canadian company. Once again, the Canadians to the rescue! It was also a Canadian company, Salter Street Films, that produced "Bowling for Columbine." I know, it's kinda sad we have to keep depending on our good neighbors to the north. But maybe this is the year we give 'em their Stanley Cup back."
Moore's web site was designed by a Canadian company and is hosted by another Canadian company, and his only non-"documentary" motion picture deals with what? Canadians. It's called "Canadian Bacon." I bet this is only scratching the surface.
I think, once and for all, I've figured it out. Michael Moore has Canuck envy. He wants to be Canadian. So close to his home state of Michigan, Canada is much more in line with Moore's political leanings, and I think he'd be happier there (where many folks hold similar views) than here (where he constantly has to underhandedly fight to achieve his decidedly UN-American goals for OUR lives.)
I hereby donate the first capitalist-backed dollar to pay for Mike's move to his new Socialist utopia.

Posted by: Chuck at June 17, 2004 09:40 AMNo wonder Ray Bradbury wants to sue Michael Moore. Fahrenheit 9/11 is a travesty and has no business trading off of Bradbury's seminal work. Moore is a demented demagogue. His disjointed rant is a disgrace to a kind and competent President and to all brave Americans who are serving their country in the military. This is wartime; not the wartime of the 40's where lines were clearly drawn. It is a deadly serious time in our nation's history and that corpulent, virulent buffoon Moore is not only offensive, but divisive to boot.
I guess civility is dead. Respectful disagreement is dead. I hate that not only Moore's travesty exists but that such a mindset as his exists. Wild-eyed liberals are beginning to frighten me, and as a proud Republican and supporter of the War on Terror wherever terror is found, Fahrenheit 9/11 scares me plenty...I'm not afraid of the principled man I admire in the White House; I'm terrified of camera wielding lunatics like Moore.
