DAVISON, MICH. - Controversial filmmaker Michael Moore has one more chance to be elected to the Hall of Fame at his alma mater, Davison High School.

So far, his nomination has been rejected all four times that it has come up for consideration. This, despite directing the highest-grossing documentary in film history, last year's Fahrenheit 9/11, as well as the Oscar-winning Bowling For Columbine

We have been discussing inexpensive ways to fast track kids through high school to avoid the liberal agenda:

The thread title was not well thought out, because some parents might instinctively skip over it due to attached stigma, whether real or imagined.

It seems that the American public education system is not in the irreparable disarray we thought it was.
Hoo-ah!

Why should Canada give a flying fig?

They lead off by saying he is "controversial", that will generally get someone rejected from honors at a taxpayer institution like a public school.

Maybe it has to do a sacrilegious play he once staged in high school?

"Around that time I wrote and directed a play that included a scene where Jesus yanks the nails out and comes down off the cross. Actors playing locally-known bigots rose out of the audience to stab, shoot and beat 'Jesus' to death, drag him back up to the cross on the stage, and re-crucify him. Typical drama from an ex-seminarian. You can imagine not much of this went over very well with the local business and Born Again establishment." http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/message/index.php?messageDate=1999-12-12 (Go to the 7th or 8th paragraph.)

Same way he stole the "people's choice award"...

Since there isn't a limit on how many nominations can be submitted in support of any former Davison student, Eashoo has been collecting signatures to bolster Moore's bid.

He has collected about 300 nominations so far, and has even sent faxes to nearby Canadian cities looking for Moore supporters.

Michael Moore is not controversial Michael Moore is a fat bag of hot wind.

The high school shouldn't give him the award; however, I'm rooting (REALLY) for Hollyweird to give him the best movie oscar. That would put the final nail in the coffin of Hollyweird's credibility.

"There's more interest in other countries, frankly," he said, adding that he thinks Moore is "the second-most-popular person from Michigan, behind Henry Ford."

Oh?

At least in refusing to honor fat, Marxist, talentless alumni. It's a start.

They will keep nominating and voting until the "Correct" result is achieved. (Washington State anyone?)

Did you see Hannity and Colmes tonight? Colmes' fill-in (his name escapes me) looked absurd in his quest to belittle Dino Rossi in their interview.

I doubt that many of Michael Moore's fans are aware that he supports seeing our troops killed:

(April 14, 2004):The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not "insurgents" or "terrorists" or "The Enemy." They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win. Get it, Mr. Bush?....I oppose the U.N. or anyone else risking the lives of their citizens to extract us from our debacle...the majority of Americans supported this war once it began and, sadly, that majority must now sacrifice their children until enough blood has been let that maybe -- just maybe -- God and the Iraqi people will forgive us in the end.

Nick Berg had his head cut off by some of Mr. Moore's treasured Minutemen shortly after this was released to his own site ( There is no difference in the modern left.

Must have missed that part. I turned channels when the Anti Prayer idiot Newdow was on (Don't want to break the TV today) and when I turned back the part you're referring to must have come and gone.

LOL. The word Controversial implies there is doubt about the individual. In Moore's case there his no doubt about what he is, therefore no controversy. :-)
