Michael Moore - gadfly filmmaker, liberal activist and political lightning rod - says he finds himself being hugged by a lot of Republicans these days. On the streets of Traverse City, where Moore is working on last-minute preparations for a bigger-and-better sequel to the film festival he launched last year in his home state, the Oscar-winning director says he is approached all the time by conservatives ready to make peace. "If you were to hang out with me here it won't be five or 10 minutes before you see a Republican hug me. That is almost as entertaining as some...

Michael Moore Statement on Canadian Election Michael Moore is currently in production on his next movie. As an avid lover of all things Canadian, he has issued the following statement regarding Canada's upcoming election on Monday: Oh, Canada -- you're not really going to elect a Conservative majority on Monday, are you? That's a joke, right? I know you have a great sense of humor, and certainly a well-developed sense of irony, but this is no longer funny. Maybe it's a new form of Canadian irony -- reverse irony! OK, now I get it. First, you have the courage to...

Bill Clinton may be an honorary member of the Bush family, but that hasn't tempered criticism from his senator-wife one bit. In her latest email to prospective donors, Hillary blasts Bush as a power-mad politician whose policies are "wrong for America." "What I see happening in Washington is a concerted effort by the Administration and the leadership in Congress to really create absolute power," she complained. Hillary warns that Republicans are trying to "remake America in their image." "[They're] reversing the progress we have made as a country, not just undoing the achievements of the Clinton Administration, but taking us...

Hillary Clinton clears way for presidential run By Francis Harris in Washington (Filed: 01/06/2005) Senator Hillary Clinton has decided to remove a key obstacle to a run at the presidency, further fuelling fevered speculation about her hopes for America’s top job. Mrs Clinton is understood to be ready to drop a pledge to serve a full six-year term when she seeks re-election as senator for New York next year. This will be the clearest sign of her intention to run for the White House, since she pointedly told New York voters in 2000 that she would not curtail her term...

Hillary Clinton was out jogging one morning along the parkway when she tripped, fell over the bridge railing and landed in the creek below. Before the Secret Service guys could get to her, 3 kids who were fishing pulled her out of the water. She was so grateful she offered the kids whatever they wanted.

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Jerrold Nadler will go back under the knife next month for a second surgery to speed up his weight reduction. Nadler, a Manhattan Democrat, underwent the first procedure almost a year ago, and has since shed about 75 pounds.

Clinton heeds advice to avoid being 'Senate show horse' HEARST NEWSPAPERS WASHINGTON - Sen. Hillary Clinton is taking a lesson from a handful of legislative giants who have risen to power by mastering the arcane minutia of Senate procedure. In a chamber that operates much as it did when John Adams presided in 1789, with starchy language and obtuse protocol, most senators rely these days on staffers and parliamentarians to translate the tedious 1,564-page Senate rule book. But Clinton has persuaded the legendary master of parliamentary tactics, Sen. Robert C. Byrd, D-W.Va., to conduct sessions tutoring her and other interested...
