Dear SantaMoore,
Mike,
I know that we’ve been here before, what with your previous gift and all. Let me tell you, that really seems to have turned your core faithful into rabid hate machines. They’ve been at my throat since the day the news went public, so, Mission Accomplished!
I was thinking...you probably enjoy seeing me suffer under the burden of your generosity, so why not give that tiger one more poke? I would really, really love one of these. Think about how mad the fanbase would be at me if I was forced to post, on December the 25th, the morning of the two thousand and seventh celebration of the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ, that Michael Moore bought me a 24” hi-def monitor!
They’d tear me apart. You should totally do this. That’d show him! I mean me. That’d show me!
Eagerly awaiting Santa’s arrival,
JimK*
*If your first thought is to email me and yell at me, lighten up. It’s a joke. Unless it happens, in which case I totally understand your anger and boy would I deserve it. *cough*

If we’re talking about things Moore could buy us to really make his fans hate us, I certainly wouldn’t mind one of the new Ford Mustangs.
Or he could write me a note saying I need a month off work (like that French guy got from his doctor) and then pay my bills for a month (and maybe pay a temp to do my work). I’m feeling like way stressed and stuff. :)
Anyway, good one. SantaMoore is a funny take on him… considering the way he pushes socialism as one big grab bag of… everything you want… with no down sides.... ahh, if only food were like your socialism Mikey. You’d be ok looking… alas… almost everything in this world gives with one hand and takes with the other…
Hey, count me in too! Since I’m an avid supporter of Moorewatch, I’d say that entitles me to a little something. I was thinking it would be awesome to get a new laptop. Maybe one of those Dell XPS laptops. I don’t really care which model. I’m pretty easy-going about things like that.
Michael Moore stands up for the little guy, and I’m a real, genuine Little Guy! I made hardly any money last year. In fact, my pipes froze, and I didn’t have water for a week! I haven’t seen a doctor in over three years! And, I’m only 5’6”. I have bona fide Little Guy credentials!
You know, it’s funny to talk about, but if I knew beforehand who the Santa was, I think I’d send the laptop back to him.
So if you’re watching this, Mr. Moore, please send the laptop anonymously, and then reveal your identity in your next movie. By then, the laptop will be like a part of the family, and the emotional strain of giving it back would be too much to bear.
I could really use some help by mikkel in purchasing a set of Nokian WR severe weather rated all season radials for my Outback. And a complete AWD wheel alignment just to insure that the Nokians don’t wear unevenly. I wouldn’t want to waste his hard-earned money. Not to put any pressure on the wealthy “film” maker, but I’ll need the check/money order/bank draft by 8:30am this Saturday as that’s when I’m getting the tires put on.
I’ll even take the hour and a half drive to Traverse City to pick up the check in person. I’ll have my brother take a flattering digital photo of Mikey handing me the money as proof of his magnanimity. I’d love to be on page one of mm.com. Isn’t that what we all really want for Christmas?
I just got the 19” version of that Samsung monitor. Beautiful screen (and got it for only $140, too).
How about a three week trip to the Bahamas? All expenses paid. I’d ask for Cuba, but I really couldn’t stand the thought of the money going into the pocket of Castro Inc.
Hurricane season is over, and I need a break from winter.
If that doesn’t work, a gift certificate for the same amount as the trip to any electronics outlet or Amazon.com.
Help the little guy, Mike!

“I just got the 19” version of that Samsung monitor. Beautiful screen (and got it for only $140, too).”
Your missing the point. If you’ve got any money left over you need to buy one for all of us now. :)
Socialism dude. [monitor] Equality now! It’s a basic human right… like medical care or food!!!
We’d all have big monitors if not for greedy big computer companies… and Bush… maybe Nixon too.
I wrote the following letter myself to Santa Moore:
Aloha Mike! I am a regular poster on the site Moorewatch.com posting under the name “yngcelt”. I have written to you many, many times over the years and have constantly been disappointed with no responses. I mean, what gives? I thought you were a man of the people who is in touch with his commoner, blue collar roots. As a child of a blue collar family, I feel a kind of kindredship with you that I have always hoped you felt as well. It just kind of seems that now that you are a celebrity, you only seem interested in us little people when it suits your needs. Like when you travel to small town America or Canada to film segments for your films. Or when you write your lovely letters to us Americans on your website. Or when you share anecdotes of your small town upbringing in your books, films, interviews, speeches, etc.
1. My friend Jim Kenefick over at Moorewatch.com was a recipient of some of your beautiful generosity last year when you donated $12,000.00 to help Jim keep the site going as he was having some financial troubles with his wife’s illness.
Well, Mikey, I would like to appeal to your generous nature as well. You see, since my wife and I moved from Oahu to the Big Island, she had to take a job that pays a lot less and offers no medical coverage. I continue to work hard for the state of Hawaii and together we are struggling to make ends meet with two children in our home. I would love it if you could see it in your heart to donate $12,000.00 to us so that we can put the money down on a house to raise our children in. I know you understand where we’re coming from since I’ve seen your films. In “Roger & Me” you showed the plight of out of work auto plant workers in Flint, Michigan losing their homes or couldn’t afford to buy homes because of their economic hardships. In Fahrenheit 9-11 you also showed families struggling and again in “Sicko”. So whattaya say Mike? Come on, don’t I deserve a little charity? I work for a living but can barely get by. I get screwed by the government on a regular basis. As a white man in Hawaii I am a minority and I contribute to several sites that oppose you. If anyone deserves some of your charity, I do!
I look forward to hearing from you buddy!
Take care and Mele Kalikimaka!
My daughters had a mild fever for 5 days now, which is worrisome, and the repeated doctors visits are starting to cost me money.
Would be neat if a generous liberal who wanted to help a prole without all the red tape and greedy pharma just sent me a check. Any amout will do; if enough is left over I could buy a pair of red Bono sunglasses for an Xmas present. This would help fight AIDs to boot.
And I want one of these.
