Janeane Garofalo Naked Gay Burning the Flag Choke Her up With PrideFrom a 1998 interview in the now-folded Buzz magazine:"Our country is founded on a sham: our forefathers were slave-owning rich white guys who wanted it their way.

Or were they the predictable rantings of someone who, in the words of a past Oscar winner, is a well-known egotist into "his own self-aggrandisement"? Upon receiving the Oscar for his controversial documentary Bowling for...

The petition discussed about Moore yesterday is now ready at http://www.petitiononline.com/moore131/petition.html Please sign it. If you missed yesterday's discussion, here is the synopsis: For the simple purpose of embarassing Michael Moore as an obese hypocrite, we are creating a petition for Moore to go on a hunger strike to demonstrate his seriousness as a social activist.
