In a last-ditch effort to prove his own relevance, and try to milk out of the Bush=Hitler crowd whatever filthy lucre they have left, Michael Moore is going wide.

Audiences will get another opportunity to view Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11” on the eve of the elections when video-on-demand firm CinemaNow will make the controversial documentary available Monday via the Internet.

The 122 minute-long movie will be available at 8 p.m. EST for $9.95.

Additionally, EchoStar will make the movie available to its more than 10 million Dish Network satellite TV service subscribers, also for $9.95.

A Kerry presidency will be bad enough for the country.  Listening to Michael Moore spin it so that he was the catalyst that made is happen is going to be unbearable. 

So, pay your ten bucks and download away.  Or, you could just do what millions of other people have done and steal it by downloading it off the internet.  Not that I would have the slightest idea how to do that, of course.

“Michael Moore Hates America” Receives Two Thumbs Up

Good for Mike Wilson!

“Michael Moore Hates America” received two thumbs up by Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper on their national movie review program, which aired Saturday morning.

The movie was created by Minnesota native Mike Wilson as a documentary that followed Wilson on his quest to interview Michael Moore, the controversial filmmaker.

On his way, Wilson interviews many people he meets along the way.

Wilson said the film “sets the record straight and celebrates what is great about our nation, not what ails it.”

I hope they decide to release this on DVD soon, it’s likely the only way I’ll get to see it (Hint hint, Mike W.!)

If you are in a city in which it is playing...check it out.

YOU ARE NEEDED, the reprise

If you plan to watch a polling place in one of the swing states, especially Ohio or Florida, please remember to do the following:

- Above all, observe the local law.  If the law says 100 feet away, stay 105 feet away.  If the law says you cannot speak to anyone leaving a polling place without a press pass, stay silent.  Just watch. 

- Make sure you are visible and obvious, but not antagonistic. 

- Make sure you are the example of perfect behavior that the news reporters will have to cite when writing up the story.  Don’t give Moore and his ilk any ammunition to perpetuate his stereotype of conservatives and Republicans.

- Don’t forget to bring a phone and have the contact numbers for election officials and the non-emergency numbers for the police.  Don’t call 911 if you see misconduct...save that for when a Moore-on or Democrat (as if there’s a difference these days) gets violent, as we’ve seem so often this past couple of months.

- Don’t forget food, water and a first aid kit.  You never know what might happen.  You might be there all day.  You could drop a camera on your foot.  Who knows.  Your safety is more important than anything, so be safe!

- Some people have talked about being escorts...somewhat like what you see at Planned Parenthood during abortion protests, walking people in and out of trouble areas (for example, a crowd of Moore fans with cameras jeering someone with a BC04 sticker on their car, etc.) If you do this, you have to be HYPER-vigilant not to talk about a candidate, not to wear anything that denounces any candidate, you must be 100% neutral.  Do nothing but escort the voter.

If there are any other things I should have mentioned here, please drop them in the comments.  Remember, above all, stay safe, stay alert, and let’s make sure we are all calm, rational, decent people on Tuesday.  Let the other side debase themselves...we’ll take the high road.

Saddam and al Qaeda

This is simply amazing to me. After watching the left scream and yell about this for two-plus years, to see someone not only assemble the evidence, but have a court rule that there was in fact a connection?

Nicely done.  The site contains great amounts of detail and research that I will not even attempt to summarize.  Go.  Read.  Learn.

A lot of people owe the President an apology.  Starting with the propagandist who pretends he’s from Flint.

Thus, there is abundant and undeniable evidence that Saddam Hussein provided money, diplomatic services, shelter, medical care, and training to terrorists of every stripe, including those complicit in the 1993 WTC bombing and — according to a Clinton-appointed federal judge — the September 11 attacks. The Iraqi dictator aided al-Qaeda and other global terrorists who murdered Americans, both at home and abroad.

Moore to Have Cameras at Polling Places

Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore plans to have hundreds of cameras outside polling places in Ohio and Florida on Election Day to watch for attempts to suppress voter turnout.

The director of the anti-Bush documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11” announced Saturday that a total of 1,200 professional and nonprofessional cameramen, filmmakers and videographers will bring their cameras to polling places in the two presidential battleground states, especially in minority communities.

“I’m putting those who intend to suppress the vote on notice: Voter intimidation and suppression will not be tolerated,” Moore said in a statement.

Moore, who was in Columbus for a rally Saturday night, planned visits to Ohio and Florida on Tuesday, his publicist Terri Hardesty said.

First of all, Moore himself is BLATANTLY trying to intimidate people with this ploy.  No one will feel comfortable with that many cameras.

So what can you do?

- For every camera crew you see, get two people to film *them*.  Watch the watchers.  Make sure they aren’t doing anything but passively recording the goings on.

- Bring a cell phone.  If any camera crew tries anything, call the police.

- Get the numbers of your local election officials and put them on speed dial.  Report any infraction, however small.

Do not let this man get away with anything.  We know how despicable he can be.  It’s up to us to watch him and his camera crews.  Spread the word.  Email this post to everyone you know in any contested states.  Let’s mobilize and show Michael Moore where the real power lies.

In our hands.  Not his.

83 Weeks

It’s another socialized medicine success!

An Edinburgh woman has been told she must wait 83 weeks for a routine hospital appointment, MSPs have heard.

Health minister Andy Kerr said he shared the frustration voiced by Liberal Democrat MSP Mike Pringle, who highlighted the patient’s case.

But he said improvements were under way in a bid to tackle ear, nose and throat waiting times in the capital.

If you like the service you get from the DMV, you’re going to love free government health care!

Poll time!

I promise you this is anonymous.  I have no way to access the IP numbers that Pollhost stores.  I just want to see how people will answer knowing they cannot be traced.

Osama Bin Pundit.

Osama Bin Laden has a vested interest in the upcoming election, so he did what so many other Bush haters do:

He made a campaign commercial!

It’s full of the same kind of rhetoric that you may have heard from some other places:

Mikey bin Laden

From today’s Osama bin Laden tape:

“It never occurred to us that the commander in chief of the country (Bush) would leave 50,000 citizens in the two towers to face those horrors alone ... because he thought listening to a child discussing her goats was more important,” bin Laden said, referring to Bush’s visit to a school when the attack occurred.

It’s good to see that Osama bin Laden is a Fahrenheit 9/11 fan.  Just the latest terrorist to show that Mikey is cut from the same cloth as the rest of the America-hating world.

Update: And more:

We didn’t find difficulty dealing with Bush and his administration due to the similarity of his regime and the regims in our countries. Whish half of them are ruled by military and the other half by sons of kings and presidents and our experience with them is long. Both parties are arrogant and stubborn and the greediness and taking money without right and that similarity appeared during the visits of Bush to the region while people from our side were impressed by the US and hoped that these visits would influence our countries. Here he is being influenced by these regimes, Royal and military. And was feeling jealous they were staying for decades in power stealing the nations finances without anybody overseeing them. So he transferred the oppression of freedom and tyranny to his son and they call it the Patriot Law to fight terrorism. He was bright in putting his sons as governors in states and he didn’t forget to transfer his experience from the rulers of our region to Florida to falsify elections to benefit from it in critical times.

Now, tell me again what a true American patriot is, Moore-ons.  Why is it that every fascist dictator and terrorist in the world seems to crib their arguments from his works?

Missing Explosives 2: Electric Boogaloo

From Powerline:

Here is what we know so far about the facts related by Major Austin Pearson at today’s news conference:

A U.S. Army officer came forward Friday and said a team from the 3rd Infantry Division took about 200 tons of explosives from the Al-Qaqaa munitions base soon after Saddam Hussein’s regime fell last year.

Major Austin Pearson appeared at a Pentagon news conference to say it was his mission to go the facility and clear explosives from the base. He said he did not discover that the International Atomic Energy Agency had reported 377 tons of explosives were missing until Tuesday night and he said he promptly contacted military officials.

No word yet on whether Major Pearson can confirm that the explosives his team destroyed were the “missing” RDX, HMX, and PETN.

Interesting. This could blow up right in the faces of everyone who tried to pin it on Bush *or* the troops. If this pans out, coupled with what went missing (possibly on those semis before we got there) and what was left when the video was shot (the 18th), all 377 tons are accounted for. The demolition is supposed to have taken place on the 13th.

This magic video the left was so counting on to make Bush into the bad guy? Could be absolutely meaningless. In fact, since it shows nothing of any RDX, HMX or PETN, it strengthens the case that the explosives were gone before the crew arrived.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why people like Moore and John Kerry, and apparently the reporters and editors at CBS and the New York Times, cannot be trusted.  Rather than investigate and vet information, they throw wild accusations, knowing that the accusation itself creates enough guilt in the average American’s mind.  We must be better than that.  Question everything you’re told by people with agendas.  And that includes me.

Right now, the only thing that is 100% absolutely known for sure is that John Kerry jumped on this story almost before it went to press and had a campaign attack commercial out the very day it broke (Monday).  And he still, to this moment, doesn’t know the facts, nor has he apologized for attcking Bush (just like he never apologized to Cheney over his retarded ‘flu shot’ hissy fit).

Looks markedly like a man who never admits a mistake no matter how public and obvious that mistake was.

Filmed and Directed by the People of Iraq

There’s a new documentary premiering tommorow. (Since when did documentaries replace Starbucks as the most popular franchise , anyway?)

The premise looks intriguing:

Voices of Iraq

Silenced for 24 years under Saddam’s regime and denied attention by the international media, the people of Iraq are not well understood at this tumultuous time in their history.

Meet the people of Iraq as they struggle with years of turmoil and strive to build a civil society. Hear in their own words their feelings about Saddam Hussein, the multinational invasion of their country, the presence of American troops and their hopes for what may lie ahead for Iraq.

What values do Iraqis bring to the discussion of their future? What role will women play in a new Iraq? How will Islam influence government?

Voices of Iraq offers a unique opportunity to hear the diverse perspective of Iraqis on issues at the forefront of a global debate over war, terror and the prospects for democratic reform - directly from the street. Voices of Iraq is a ground-breaking documentary that does what no other film or news organization has done before.

The producers of Voices of Iraq distributed over 150 DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERAS across the entire country to enable everyday people - mothers, children, teachers, sheiks and even insurgents - to document their lives and their hopes amidst the upheaval of a nation being born.

It will be showing in 10 cities nationwide.

I haven’t seen it. I don’t know how it will portray the US, maybe good, maybe bad, maybe somewhere in between. It’ll be interesting to hear from the Iraq people for once. Chances are, they won’t be telling stories of flying kites and sipping tea.

Click the above link for times and locations at these towns: Atlanta, Dallas, Detriot, LA, Madison, Minneapolis,New Orleans, NY , San Fransisco, San Diego, St. Louis, and D.C.

One final, unrelated thought.

I wonder if 30 years from now, Michael Moore might just be remembered as the Gary Dahl of 2004.

Site Problems

It seems the site’s been a bit iffy all day.  If you get the error, just reload until it goes away.  That series of errors you’re seeing is usually a sign of heavy traffic.  Not enough to be a DOS, it’s usually good traffic.  Has anyone seen a news story anywhere that mentions the site?  Any first-tier bloggers or Slashdot/Fark link us?  I can’t find any mass referring in the logs.

Of course, they could be coming to see my sparkling personality.  I’m so frigging lovable. 

Anyway, just hit reload.  The site always comes up eventually.
