The good news for those of us who come out of “SiCKO” inspired to change our health care system: Several of the presidential candidates—John Edwards, Barack Obama, and Dennis Kucinich—have already pledged not to take contributions from the insurance and drug companies, their political action committees and their lobbyists. And each of those Democratic candidates has already put forward a plan to achieve health care for all. Hillary Clinton has announced she will come forward with a plan for universal health care in the coming months—a big step forward from her original posture of just covering children first. It appears that Clinton’s campaign is taking insurance and drug industry money, but she is under pressure to change that—which is the one of the goals of our email campaign
Now, I happen to think that the health care plans put forward by Edwards and Obama represent pretty important proposals—much more understandable than Clinton’s 1993 plan or John Kerry’s undecipherable health care proposals in 2004.
We don’t know what Hillary Clinton’s plan will look like. She could cautiously aim at covering everyone only if she is re-elected for a second term (as she has hinted). And she could aim at achieving that goal incrementally, insuring all poor children first in one program, and middle-class children in a separate program, and all adults in a third program. That would be a disappointment. And people who think of themselves as “health care voters” should be letting her know that RIGHT NOW.
We thank you ahead of time, Mikey, for inspiring Thinkers up for election to legalize hemp so that they might garner a few more votes. Thats not noble, thats regal.
Well, now that the U.S. revenue is way up and the budget deficit is shrinking faster than a Gray Whale living under the horrors of global warming, they’ll have to spend all that money on something.

‘Sicko’ in Top 5 Grossing Docs of All Time—This Weekend it’s “‘Sicko’ Night in America!"… from Michael Moore
Good news! “Sicko,” after less than three weeks in national release, has become one of the top five grossing documentaries of all time! So, this coming weekend, the distributor is expanding the movie by opening it in nearly 500 new theaters in small cities all over the country (for a total of nearly 1,200 screens nationwide)! The entire country goes “Sicko” in less than 48 hours!
Speak for youself buddy. But my question is: Why isn’t this shit FREE? If it ain’t free its no good.
“Sicko" won’t be around forever.
Huh? Once we live forever we’ll want to see it again and again?
And if you’re waiting for the DVD, ask anyone who’s seen “Sicko”—this is a movie you want to see with a crowd of people in a theater.
Why? So someone can make money off it? Its supposed to be FREE. You should be encouraging folks to burn SiCKO DVDs for FREE.
Now this is interesting:
And, to show my thanks to all of you who’ll go see “Sicko” this weekend, I’m going to send one of you and a guest on a free weekend to the universal health care country of your choice! That’s right. You’ll get to pick one of the three industrialized countries featured in the movie where, if you get sick, you get help for free, no matter who you are.
So, why, again, don’t those living near Canada just cross the border for FREE health care?
All you have to do is send us your ticket stub (make sure it says “Sicko” on it and has the name of the theater and this weekend’s date on it—Friday, Saturday or Sunday - July 20th, 21st, 22nd). Attach the stub to a piece of paper with your name, address, phone number and email and send it to: ‘Sicko’ Night in America, 888c 8th Avenue, Suite 443, New York, NY 10019. (Yes, you have to use that old 18th century device called the U.S. Postal Service, and it has to be postmarked on or by Tuesday, July 24th). First prize is a weekend in the city of your choice: Paris, London or Toronto.
One lousy person and their guest. One lousy person. Why not charter a plane? Surely the greatest, Truest doc of all time has already generated sufficient funds to charter a small plane? For FREE and all. To heal the Masses, not just one lucky schmoe who already saw “Transformers”, and has some spare change because he hasn’t gotten sick yet this month.
Send 300 Katrina victims! That could spark the Revolution you so desire!
This includes airfare, hotel, meals and, most exciting, a representative from their fine universal health care system who will give you a personal tour so you can see how they treat their fellow citizens.
Thats certainly the most exciting thing about it. Hey, thats what the people with 6 weeks FREE paid vacation do (see below).
Here it comes:
You’ll meet people who pay nothing for college and citizens who are in the fourth week of their six-week paid vacation.
Its all FREE!!!!
Oh, and you’ll have time to see the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben or whatever they have in Toronto that is old and tall. (If you don’t have a passport, we’ll pay for that, too!)
Uh, and what about admissions? You said this shit was gonna be FREE and enjoybale because of it being FREE. I’d also need a translator and stuff.
Heck I’d go ride them whores, Europes got some fine enlightened hookers. Not like ours, whose raucnhy leathered vaginas echo when they fart cuz they can’t afford to have them saddlebags lifted. And should I get sick from whoring, well, they’ll fix that for FREE too!
Ah well. Back to the Truth
Richmond Police Hate America; Mom, 7-year-old locked up on July 4th for supporting H.Res. 333
Every Cop in Richmond hates the enitre USA. Is this a bad thing? Euros do the same, as do them noble jihadis.

Send a message to Jay Leno: “If Ann Coulter is on, I’m not watching!”

I was watching the Tonight Show a little while ago, when Jay Leno announced his guests for the Wednesday night. When he said the name “Ann Coulter,” my stomach tightened—and a very audible, collective BOO rose from the audience!
Poll
Are you going to protest Ann Coulter’s appearance on The Tonight Show?
Yes. And I’m going to email the Tonight Show. 16 votes - 9 %

I thought Johnny Carson was the host of the Tonight Show. 25 votes - 15 %
Jay Leno is full of ******. He wrote a letter talking about how Americans are spoiled and asked why we were unhappy after comparing us to starving countries. Then he accused us of being the medias puppets and blaming politics for everything. Well if anyone is a spoiled sack of ****** its Jay Leno. If he was so concerned about starvation, why doesn’t he sell off his car collection and feed entire cities in Darfur? Instead of driving a different car to work everyday and polluting the planet, why doesn’t he drive a civic or something. Does any one man need an airport hanger full of cars? If he was so uninterested in politics, why does he do nothing but promote them on his show. We all know he had a large hand in the governors election. Face the fact, he can’t even take his own medicine, his head is just too big (no pun intended).
Ah the old schtick about his many cars depleting the ozone. Despite his fawning over Mikey (for personal profit), the world must not forget that Jay Leno owns over 80 cars and 70 motorcycles, and he drives them all to work every single day. Simultaneously.

Jay Leno & French Bashing
It’s been quite a few months since Jay Leno last bashed the French on the Tonight Show. In fact, some of us thought the Educating Jay project had been met with some success (Comments made to James Woods of Shark on January 18 2007). Despite our efforts, Jay Leno and his team of writers decided to heap more scorn on the French by resorting to another stereotype: rudeness.
What now? Leno noble, Leno evil? What? Bill Maher, educate us!
/11 for 9/11: On 8/11/07 The Weinstein Company will donate 11% of their profits from ‘SiCKO’ to the 9/11 rescue workers who are not receiving the care that they should get. Remember, if we had universal health care, the 9/11 rescue workers wouldn’t be going through this struggle right now.
If the terrorists hadn’t blown up the WTC the 9/11 rescue workers wouldn’t be going through their struggle. No, wait. It was the Jews that own Big Pharma what blew it up to excuse invading Iraq for oil. But it was also the CIA distracting from their inventing and spreading HIV?
Q: How have you evolved as a filmmaker since “Roger and Me”?
A: I think a lot about everything I do and everything I put on tape, and then I spend a lot of time in the editing room. I think about how the audience is going to react. There’s an old line by Woody Allen: “The audience is never wrong.” So, I pay more attention to the art form than I do to the political message I’m trying to put out. I don’t believe anyone will get the political message if I haven’t made a movie that’s an entertaining work of art.
Now what did art ever do to deserve being maligned so viciously?
A: I trust that the American people are smarter than the mainstream media, just as I trust that they’re smarter than their leaders.

There are only French stereotypes, the ones about Americans are all true.
Micheal Moore: I trust that the American people are smarter than the mainstream media, just as I trust that they’re smarter than their leaders.
I gave this some “thought” and now I’m confused. Does this means anyone I vote for is dumber than I/me? Cindy Sheehan included? That I can write better than most any journalist?

There are only French stereotypes, the ones about Americans are all true.
On a side note, there was a French Foreign exchange student staying across the street. My son went with them to see the Simpsons movie and then they went mini golfing. She thought it was fun, and she said they have nothing like it in France and she wished they did.
I thought “Great, they still haven’t even forgiven us for McDonald’s!”
It sounds like France is for mostly grownups.
