Moore Sued over Misrepesented Interview in Farcenheit 911

The already highly dubious credibility of Farcenheit 911 took another massive blow this past May when disabled National Gaurd Sgt. Peter Damon sued the Big Boy for defamation and emotional distress. The Big Boy used NBC footage of an interview with Sgt. Damon, who lost both arms in Iraq, in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Before we put this blog to bed, one last comment on Fahrenheit 911. I think we should dip Michael Moore in a vat of that purple ink that was used to mark the fingers of Iraqis who voted last Sunday. Just a quick dip, in and out, nothing life-threatening, to remind him and the world how utterly and... Sign in to see full entry.

Michael Moore analysis of Iraq comes true!!!

Among his numerous errors in Fahrenheit 911, Michael Moore depicted pre-war Iraq as a happy place full of joy and laughter. Dead wrong at the time, but the Big Boy was right in the end. Iraq was indeed a land of happiness, but not under Sadaam as he claimed. It happened Sunday, January 30th, as the... Sign in to see full entry.

Fahrenheit 911 gets snubbed in the Oscars!

Just reviewed the list of nominations for Oscars. I am delighted to report that Fahrenheit 911 didn't receive one single solitary nomination. Justice prevails. Perhaps a new category is needed, something like "Most dishonest, manipulative, decietful movie." Winner, hands down. I'm volunteering to do... Sign in to see full entry.

Michael Moore is a fraud!

This is a little off-topic, but it needs to be said. As if the errors, distortions and lies of Fahrenheit 911. and his gall in dedicating his People’s Choice award for the movie to the vilify military he defamed and harmed in the movie wasn’t proof enough, how about this: After smearing gun-owning...

The Questions We Need to Ask

In a comment on my previous posting, damonleigh raised an issue that really got my wheels turning. S/he said that Fahrenheit 911’s purpose was to make people ask questions. Let’s kick that around for a bit more than I did in my follow-up comment. Why is it that only conservatives are supposed to be... Sign in to see full entry.

So the big boy won the People's Choice award for his movie. Well, sincerely, congratulations. While I still maintain that the movie is full of nonsense, it's still an notable piece of moviemaking. Structure over content, and all that. What irks me now is his dedicating this award to American... Sign in to see full entry.

Okay, we now know the CIA blew it badly on the WMD issue. This sort of weakness in our intelligence service was traced back into the 1970s, so all of you Bush haters who think it’s his fault, sorry, you don’t have an issue. A good part of the failure was doubtless due to the Clinton administration... Sign in to see full entry.

Why we fight

This letter was forwarded to me by a friend. We're not fighting for oil, we're not fighting for Bush family vengeance, we're not fighting over WMDs. We're fighting to eliminate fanatic Muslim terrorism. No further comment from me is needed. THE WORLD SITUATION - A LETTER TO MY SONS This was written... Sign in to see full entry.

Humor break!

Great cartoon from the Toledo Blade at http://www.toledoblade.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20040708/OPINION01/40708001 Good, funny satire I can appreciate, even when it includes me (see the various comments on this blog taking me to task for not watching the movie). Sign in to see full entry.
