Michael Moore

Is it just me or is Michael Moore a big dope?
I started listening to his book Stupid White Men in the car...It was funny for about 10 minutes and then it seemed to be a bunch of whining, and "facts" which were specious at best.
I don't know what the big deal about him is - I think the title was inspired by himself.
Michael Boore, or Michael "Publicity" Whore would be better names.

PS - I'm really not a big republican or anything, I just think the guys an idiot. He needs to get a life. Besides, if Bush is out next year - what will he do next? I'm sure he'll throw his tons of weight around and find someone to pester... I think I would like to shoot a movie called: Put Down the Cheesburger and Shave for Christ's Sake! It will be me following him around until he gets really P.O, 'ed

Here is a story of ultimate denial by the couple's family:

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A South African man who shot hispregnant fiancée dead before killing himself will beposthumously married to her at the weekend.
Police Captain Mohale Ramatseba said David Masenta shot25-year-old Mgwanini Molomo after a quarrel before turning thegun on himself. But Johannesburg's Sowetan newspaper saidfamily and friends wanted to remember them as a happy coupledestined for a happy life together.
The groom's corpse would be dressed in a cream suit and hisbride's in a gown for the ceremony, at which a priest in therural village of Ceres in Limpopo will bless the union beforethe two are buried, the Sowetan said.
"In African culture, there is no death -- there is merelythe separation of body and soul," said cultural expert MatholeMotshekga. "It is also important because the families aremarried together."
"This does not mean the relationship has irretrievablybroken down."

A Lawyer Joke...

Every blog needs at least one -- here's mine:

A prominent, young lawyer suffers a heart attack, only to awaken facing St. Peter at the pearly gates of Heaven. There had to be some mistake he thought, “I’m only thirty-five and too young to die.”. “Young?” said St. Peter raising an eyebrow, “Why based on the number of hours you’ve billed to clients, you should be almost seventy!”

  • You sit in a rocking chair and can't get it going.
  • The pharmacist has become your new best friend.
  • Getting "lucky" means you found your car in the parking lot.
  • When you start a sentence and then....
