Unmoored From Reality An ideological con artist is the favorite for an Oscar.

With Hollywood in a fever pitch against the war in Iraq, Michael Moore is likely to win the Oscar for Best Documentary at Sunday's Academy Awards. "Bowling for Columbine," Mr. Moore's work of anti-American propaganda, has grossed over $15 million, an amazing sum for a film billed as a documentary. But the film, a merry dissection of America's "culture of fear" and love of guns, is filled with so many inaccuracies and distortions that it ought to be classed as a work of fiction.

I still maintain that Charlton Heston should have tazed Moore and then said "Hey, you're right! You really don't need guns for self defense!" while the fat slob had a seizure.

I would have lopped off that fat head with a sword and said "Apparently, you didn't know that people were able to kill each other before guns came along."

Can I call Moore unamerican? He seems to work so hard at tearing down our country and all.

Every time I have seen him on an interview, he has consistenly lied and misstated facts orn ignored them completely. "Bowling" ought to be classified as the fiction it is. He epitomizes the "stupid white men" that he purports to criticize.
