The Michael Moore movie, an indictment of President Bush's leadership and his decision to go to war in Iraq after the 2001 terrorist attacks, took in $23.9 million to become the first documentary to debut as Hollywood's top weekend film.

What were the opening weekend numbers for "The Blair Witch Project"? If "F9/11" is a "documentary", then so is "The Blair Witch Project".

A lady called Laura Ingram this morning. She said that her husband is a military photographer, and found out that some of his film was included. He was mad.

The quote was "He compared it to finding out that your daughter has become a whore".

MM needs to be sued under the copyright law and some of the profits taken away.

"He's doing what he believes in," said Frances Stroik, 62, of Moore. "You can't fault a guy for that."

In a related story from the 1940's Grandpa Stroik was quoted as saying of Adolf Hitler, "He's doing what he believes in. "You can't fault a guy for that."

Hey, Hitler and Nero were doing what they believed in, too. Guess we can't fault them for that!

No you can't, Mrs. Stroik....but you can sure as hell fault him for the despicable way he goes about it.

I believe in setting up sprawling death camps for liberals, death camps that run night and day.

You can't fault me for that.

I looked it up. "Blair Witch" made over $140 million during its theater run. Let's see if Lumpy Riefenstal can even come close.

I hope Michael Moore gets sued so badly that he won't even be able to buy a donut.

This movie is being used as water cooler fodder at the workplace. People are being quizzed as to their opinions on the film and then judged as to whether that opinion fits in with the ruling clique at their workplace...and repercussions will follow.
