Hadn't he heard about British taxes? For all the pining he does for government control over everything, you'd think he would have.

[hellinahandcart]

I never knew a pantload could "storm".

I'm frightened.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Gee, it's a big surprise that an "independent" "grassroots" poster-boy liberal would act like this.

[RandallFlagg]

If someone would just thrown a couple dozen donuts at him, things might've been better.
Isn't this the jackass that told O'Reilly that he should be taxed at eighty percent?

[Texas Eagle]

. He stormed around all day screaming at everyone, even the £5-an-hour bar staff, telling them how we were all conmen and useless.

The REAL Michael Moore.

[LibWhacker]

Michael Moore is truly THE ugly American.

[guitfiddlist]

Eventually, sh*t does out itself, doesn't it?

[dfwgator]

Satirist? Jonathan Swift was a satirist, Michael Moore is no Jonathan Swift.

[Shermy]

Under stress situations Moore's real persona comes out. He's an elitist and snob.

Michael Moore confounds anti-corporate conventional wisdom ("Small businesspeople are rednecks.")

Tuesday night, March 5 Michael Moore appeared before a full house Arcata Van Duzer Theater at Humboldt State University. Moore, the famous filmmaker and political activist, talked about his new book, about "President" (a term he used with finger quotes) Bush and about how Arcata people might spread political activism.

Motivation, he said, is key, with discontent providing that motivation. "I'm so pissed off," Moore said, inspiring cheers. Moore encouraged everyone who who shared that feeling to combat oppression. "Don't just stay in Arcata and eat your granola, your gluten-free granola," he admonished the assembly.

Moore quickly made clear that he doesn't share some of the alternative culture doctrine held dear by many Arcatans. Asked about recycling, Moore said, "Recycling creates an illusion of saving the planet." He said he disapproves of simply recycling without knowing where recycleables go - they might be sent to a Third World country where people work under sweatshop conditions.

Asked about Arcata's pending cap on pattern restaurant expansion, Moore - widely recognized as a corporate antagonist - again confounded expectations. "Where will you eat?" he asked. "Can't you have at least one Jamba Juice?"

Moore said that the news media try to make people think that they are a small minority when they want to dissent from mainstream America. But, according to Moore, dissenters aren't the minority.

On request, Moore immediately endorsed Green Party candidate for State Assembly Doug Riley-Thron. "He first handed me a $20 bill, then he gave me another one, and another one," Riley-Thron said later. "Then he said ‘Here, take it all,' and he handed me a bunch of ones." The total take: $80. (more Moore at the link....)

...because he thought he wasn't being paid enough During the performance he complained he was making just $750 a night.... He stormed around all day screaming at everyone, even the £5-an-hour bar staff, telling them how we were all conmen and useless.

Hey, he's a Marxist. This is the truly compassionate liberal.

I think he's been promised the best daucha. What else matters?

[John Jamieson]

Boy, I hope somebody got video of it. Would make a great movie!

[lorrainer]

They were probably out of the wafer-thin mints in his dressing room...

[MadIvan]

His show was heavily advertised - in London you don't heavily advertise a show unless you're having a genuine problem getting people to see it. Chicago (the musical) sells out with only a few posters here and there. You could tell the present run of My Fair Lady was in trouble when there was an advertising blitz. And so on.

I'm glad he's getting out of here.

Regards, Ivan

Yeah, Michael Moore's soooooooooo worried about the plight of the common man... Reminds me of the study that showed liberals don't tip. It seems their concern for the working poor only extends to the theoretical poor person. And their desire to "give" only extends to using other peoples money. Liberals are a rather creepy group. This is just one more example.

[katana]

Sounds like a breach of contract on Mr. Mooron's part. Hope the producers nail him.

[E Rocc]

During the performance he complained he was making just $750 a night.

How many "blue collar" types would complain about such a pay rate? Pro-rated to 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year that's $187,500.

[lonestar]

I'm still wondering, "WHAT has he done that's IMPORTANT?" To me he's nothing more than "well-known for being well known."

Nothing Moore!

[headsonpikes]

Creatures such as Michael Moore are one good reason for widespread and enduring prohibitions against sex with livestock.

[headsonpikes]

Michael Moore...a wet slider made flesh.

[Servant of the Nine]

If only some amature documentary film maker had gotten it on video tape.
