Well you know whatever

Saw this and I thought it was sort of funny, now I'm not sure how I feel about old Michael Moore, I mean I think he's funny but...I just think he's starting to get all loosey-goosey with the facts, and just cause the other side (we'll call them them wrong...) does that doesn't make it right...

Either way here's exactly what I was talking about:

Michael Moore Statement on Canadian Election

Michael Moore is currently in production on his next movie. As an avid lover of all things Canadian, he has issued the following statement regarding Canada's upcoming election on Monday:

Oh, Canada -- you're not really going to elect a Conservative majority on Monday, are you? That's a joke, right? I know you have a great sense of humor, and certainly a well-developed sense of irony, but this is no longer funny. Maybe it's a new form of Canadian irony -- reverse irony! OK, now I get it. First, you have the courage to stand against the war in Iraq -- and then you elect a prime minister who's for it. You declare gay people have equal rights -- and then you elect a man who says they don't. You give your native peoples their own autonomy and their own territory -- and then you vote for a man who wants to cut aid to these poorest of your citizens. Wow, that is intense! Only Canadians could pull off a hat trick of humor like that. My hat's off to you.

Far be it from me, as an American, to suggest what you should do. You already have too many Americans telling you what to do. Well, actually, you've got just one American who keeps telling you to roll over and fetch and sit. I hope you don't feel this appeal of mine is too intrusive but I just couldn't sit by, as your friend, and say nothing. Yes, I agree, the Liberals have some 'splainin' to do. And yes, one party in power for more than a decade gets a little... long. But you have a parliamentary system (I'll bet you didn't know that -- see, that's why you need Americans telling you things!). There are ways at the polls to have your voices heard other than throwing the baby out with the bath water.

These are no ordinary times, and as you go to the polls on Monday, you do so while a man running the nation to the south of you is hoping you can lend him a hand by picking Stephen Harper because he's a man who shares his world view. Do you want to help George Bush by turning Canada into his latest conquest? Is that how you want millions of us down here to see you from now on? The next notch in the cowboy belt? C'mon, where's your Canadian pride? I mean, if you're going to reduce Canada to a cheap download of Bush & Co., then at least don't surrender so easily. Can't you wait until he threatens to bomb Regina? Make him work for it, for Pete's sake.

But seriously, I know you're not going to elect a guy who should really be running for governor of Utah. Whew! I knew it! You almost had me there. Very funny. Don't do that again. God, I love you, you crazy cold wonderful neighbors to my north. Don't ever change.

Michael Moore

(Mr. Moore is not available for interviews because he now needs to address the situation in Azerbaijan. But he could be talked into it for a couple of tickets to a Leaf's game.)

both moore and that mcdonald's slanderer should be used for target practice. docushit must end. while i agree in principal with what those retards are saying, they are by all means retarded. is bush the worst war criminal of the last 60 years? i would say so, at least as far as elected officials go. is mcdonalds bad for you? of course, but it takes 16 big macs to match the fat content of a bag of movie theatre popcorn.

i think harper is starting to show his stripes, but not the way a lot of people thought he would. not even on the job and he has made it very clear, we as Canadians rule Canada, not some puppet. if the ndp can somehow work with the conservatives to pass the military expenditure to protect our north with the condition of doing so as to protect the enviroment up there (and not just shipping rights) and avoid playing starwars with W, we can prove every loser pinko wrong. we can prove our identity. then we can start with what the world really wants:a honest voice of peace in the world.

Just some information on the fat content for Popcorn and a Big Mac, seems that the Large Popcorn with butter = 116g, and the Big Mac = 30g. Now I'm not saying that this is the factual site, but that only means about 4 Big Macs to 1 Bag Popcorn. Now it was also the first site that came up and I haven't checked any others, so who knows...

We'll see about Harper, the C's have a chance now, we'll see what they do with it.

i think the 16-1 is based on coconut oil, and i think that is not as common as it used to be. probably why they offer flavouring when once they didn't have to.

what is with all the political jargon on all of these blogs... ?

I'm going to hold my knees to my chest and rock back and forth a bit to ease the tension of giving a crap about things beyond my control.
