DOCTOR ZERO: Socialism: A Hate Story
Doctor Zero at Hot Air demolishes Michael Moore and his latest anti-capitalist screed:
What about the little guy? Doesn’t he benefit under benign socialist control? Of course not. He never has, anywhere on Earth, during the many times collective governments have gained power. The common man might realize some short-term gains when the socialist government marches into power – wow, free health care! It never lasts. It can’t. Socialist control destroys the very mechanisms of prosperity it needs to pay off on its promises.
Would that Doctor Zero (or Doctor Zaius, for that matter– anyone with a greater intellectual range than Sean Hannity) had interviewed Michael Moore last night. Hannity sought, like Wolf Blitzer on CNN, to emphasize Moore’s hypocrisy for campaigning against capitalism while unashamedly indulging in its benefits. Moore is not an idiot, and he has learned to dodge and deflect these kinds of attacks, or misdirect with mock bonhomie.
The interview that I want to see is somebody confronting Moore with the mountains of evidence that a) his ideas are not new, but rather a sloppier and more Twitter-friendly iteration of a collectivist impulse that dates back to antiquity; and b) these ideas are responsible for more death, misery and brutality than any other single idea for organizing society in the history of the world.
But again, Moore is not an idiot, and he’d never agree to that interview.
Michael Moore is fat.
It looks like MichaelMooreIsFat.com hasn’t been updated in 7 years, but they do have this photo which is both hilarious and revolting. (Mike, is there a German word for that?…) What the hell is he supposed to be eating? Every time I begin to formulate a guess, I recoil from the screen and vomit.

Pizza the Hutt enjoys some... undercooked DiGiorno and Cheez Wiz?...
Michael Moore and the Liberal Press: A Love Story

- surprising that a face like that would have smugness in its repertoire of expressions
A film review from Kenneth Turan writing for the LA Times:
Say what you like about Michael Moore, he certainly knows how to pick his subjects. “Fahrenheit 9/11″ was so au courant about the invasion of Iraq it won the 2004 Palme d’Or at Cannes, and 2007′s “Sicko” got the jump on the current healthcare imbroglio. Now, barely a year after the Wall Street meltdown, “Capitalism: A Love Story” examines, in typical love-it-or-leave-it Moore fashion, the causes of the collapse of the century.
In a nonscientific poll* conducted by Missourah.com, it was discovered that 95% of the LA Times’ remaining 200 readers get a tingly sensation running up their legs when they read words like “au courant” and “imbroglio”, and hear any reference to the Palme d’Or award. The remaining 5% clearly did not go to Columbia. Maybe Brown, or…a state school. If those people can even read…
*Note: no one at Missourah.com actually wasted their time polling LA Times readers
