This massive whale of an unknown life form will sooner or later have a giant stroke or coronary that will render him a big fat blob of gelatinous goo.

Would anyone mind if I mention that Michael Moore is a fat, loathesome, slob?

Right, Michael, and I suppose you funded ALL of your ‘documentaries’ yourself.

Looks like capitalism provided him a job to have the money to “grow!”

Ha! He said he doesn’t get into novels. He stated that he doesn’t believe that humans cannot set up some sort of “system” (I’m assuming he means profit neutral)without the agenda of industry although he said he believes and understands “the virue of selfishness” ( ?? ).He stated that “we can create essential systems for the pusuit of greater good and advancement-still capitalistic, still selfish, just not attached to commerce”. Huh? You can’t have it both ways. This is nonsense. It won’t work.

Two questions for Mr. Moore:

1. Did you agree with the Soviets on everything?

(if yes, then he is at least consistent)

2. If not, and if you wanted to expose problems with your filmmaking, how old do you think you would have been when you were shot?
