A great link. One of those that tempts me to find the author, lock him up in a tiger cage, file the serial numbers off his stuff, and run around pretending I wrote it. A superb article. Be sure to follow up the links, which are MOST enlightening.

...Moore dismissed criticism over his purchase of a million-dollar home. "I'm a millionaire, I'm a multi-millionaire," he proclaimed. "I'm filthy rich. You know why I'm a multi-millionaire? 'Cause multi-millions like what I do. That's pretty good, isn't it? There's millions that believe in what I do. Pretty cool, huh?



...no one individual should be able to own that much property."



This last statement is, of course, out of context, but I thought it was interesting.

It's DIFFERENT to be rich when you're a liberal.

I am more and more convinced that, under the effects of September 11--among other things--Moore's mind has gently slipped off the rails and is lying in a ditch. He apparently believes himself to be some reincarnation of Joe Hill.

As a point of interest, I offer these articles he wrote after September 11:

September 12: Death Downtown

September 14: Across America Tonight

September 15: Somewhere in the Land of Enchantment

September 17: An OK City

September 19: Lost in America, Closer to Home

September 21: Tears Down the West Side Highway

This series seems to describe the progress of the wild beast of Reality tearing into the comfortable padded cell of Moore's socialist fantasies. Oh, he tries to keep throwing a leftist spin on everything, but what he is desperately evading is the fact that in the burning buildings he is seeing the heart of the amusing anti-Americanism, anti-industrialism and anti-capitalism that he has made his living on all these years.

Toward the end of the last message, a dim enlightenment seems to be finally encroaching on the ruined brain of a leftist:

I cannot go to work. But I have a film to finish. Our editor has been unable to make it in from New Jersey, but he is there now waiting for some word on what to do. I can't even think about this movie. I don't WANT to think about it because if I think about it I will have to face an ugly truth that has been gnawing through my head...



This started out as a documentary on gun violence in America, but the largest mass murder in our history was just committed -- without the use of a single gun! Not a single bullet fired! No bomb was set off, no missile was fired, no weapon (i.e., a device that was solely and specifically manufactured to kill humans) was used. A boxcutter! -- I can't stop thinking about this. A thousand gun control laws would not have prevented this massacre.

What am I doing?



After this, silence. There are no messages on file for the following dates. Over two weeks pass in silence. Then this:

October 8: All I Am Saying Is Give War a Chance

We can see that his padding has been repaired, and he is the smug cynic of old, if not even further removed from logic and common sense. It is most revealing that of all the messages I have listed here, this last one is the only of them to appear in the Message Archive list on the bottom of Moore's home page. I found the other messages, apparently still on his system, by going in and manually entering the dates one by one in the URL window. The listed archive is replete with other snotty messages in his usual style. He apparently was uncomfortable about the mental cracks showing in the 9-11 ones.
