Dear Friends, Ok, it sucks. Really sucks. But before you go and cash it all in, let's, in the words of Monty Python, 'always look on the bright side of life!' There IS some good news from Tuesday's election. Here are 17 reasons not to slit your wrists: 1. It is against the law for George W. Bush to run for president again. 2. Bush's victory was the NARROWEST win for a sitting president since Woodrow Wilson in 1916. 3. The only age group in which the majority voted for Kerry was young adults (Kerry: 54%, Bush: 44%), proving once again that your parents are always wrong and you should never listen to them. 4. In spite of Bush's win, the majority of Americans still think the country is headed in the wrong direction (56%), think the war wasn't worth fighting (51%), and don't approve of the job George W. Bush is doing (52%). (Note to foreigners: Don't try to figure this one out. It's an American thing, like Pop Tarts.) 5. The Republicans will not have a filibuster-proof 60-seat majority in the Senate. If the Democrats do their job, Bush won't be able to pack the Supreme Court with right-wing ideologues. Did I say "if the Democrats do their job?" Um, maybe better to scratch this one. 6. Michigan voted for Kerry! So did the entire Northeast, the birthplace of our democracy. So did 6 of the 8 Great Lakes States. And the whole West Coast! Plus Hawaii. Ok, that's a start. We've got most of the fresh water, all of Broadway, and Mt. St. Helens. We can dehydrate them or bury them in lava. And no more show tunes! 7. Once again we are reminded that the buckeye is a nut, and not just any old nut -- a poisonous nut. A great nation was felled by a poisonous nut. May Ohio State pay dearly this Saturday when it faces Michigan. 8. 88% of Bush's support came from white voters. In 50 years, America will no longer have a white majority. Hey, 50 years isn't such a long time! If you're ten years old and reading this, your golden years will be truly golden and you will be well cared for in your old age. 9. Gays, thanks to the ballot measures passed on Tuesday, cannot get married in 11 new states. Thank God. Just think of all those wedding gifts we won't have to buy now. 10. Five more African Americans were elected as members of Congress, including the return of Cynthia McKinney of Georgia. It's always good to have more blacks in there fighting for us and doing the job our candidates can't. 11. The CEO of Coors was defeated for Senate in Colorado. Drink up! 12. Admit it: We like the Bush twins and we don't want them to go away. 13. At the state legislative level, Democrats picked up a net of at least 3 chambers in Tuesday's elections. Of the 98 partisan-controlled state legislative chambers (house/assembly and senate), Democrats went into the 2004 elections in control of 44 chambers, Republicans controlled 53 chambers, and 1 chamber was tied. After Tuesday, Democrats now control 47 chambers, Republicans control 49 chambers, 1 chamber is tied and 1 chamber (Montana House) is still undecided. 14. Bush is now a lame duck president. He will have no greater moment than the one he's having this week. It's all downhill for him from here on out -- and, more significantly, he's just not going to want to do all the hard work that will be expected of him. It'll be like everyone's last month in 12th grade -- you've already made it, so it's party time! Perhaps he'll treat the next four years like a permanent Friday, spending even more time at the ranch or in Kennebunkport. And why shouldn't he? He's already proved his point, avenged his father and kicked our ass. 15. Should Bush decide to show up to work and take this country down a very dark road, it is also just as likely that either of the following two scenarios will happen: a) Now that he doesn't ever need to pander to the Christian conservatives again to get elected, someone may whisper in his ear that he should spend these last four years building "a legacy" so that history will render a kinder verdict on him and thus he will not push for too aggressive a right-wing agenda; or b) He will become so cocky and arrogant -- and thus, reckless -- that he will commit a blunder of such major proportions that even his own party will have to remove him from office. 16. There are nearly 300 million Americans -- 200 million of them of voting age. We only lost by three and a half million! That's not a landslide -- it means we're almost there. Imagine losing by 20 million. If you had 58 yards to go before you reached the goal line and then you barreled down 55 of those yards, would you stop on the three yard line, pick up the ball and go home crying -- especially when you get to start the next down on the three yard line? Of course not! Buck up! Have hope! More sports analogies are coming!!! 17. Finally and most importantly, over 55 million Americans voted for the candidate dubbed "The #1 Liberal in the Senate." That's more than the total number of voters who voted for either Reagan, Bush I, Clinton or Gore. Again, more people voted for Kerry than Reagan. If the media are looking for a trend it should be this -- that so many Americans were, for the first time since Kennedy, willing to vote for an out-and-out liberal. The country has always been filled with evangelicals -- that is not news. What IS news is that so many people have shifted toward a Massachusetts liberal. In fact, that's BIG news. Which means, don't expect the mainstream media, the ones who brought you the Iraq War, to ever report the real truth about November 2, 2004. In fact, it's better that they don't. We'll need the element of surprise in 2008. Feeling better? I hope so. As my friend Mort wrote me yesterday, "My Romanian grandfather used to say to me, 'Remember, Morton, this is such a wonderful country -- it doesn't even need a president!'" But it needs us. Rest up, I'll write you again tomorrow. Yours, Michael Moore MMFlint@aol.com [ www.michaelmoore.com ] |

 Coolness: 66470 | You know what dude? Anything that Micheal Moore directed or wrote, was only the truth. Be very carefull with what you read or watch on T.V. concerning the war and Bush's position on it. You just might find that that network or that newspaper or that writter is being sponsored by some U.S. government division. (I smell a bias!) Now why would the dog bite the hand that's feeding it? In other words, why would that network or newspaper or writter say something bad about the goverment and/or Bush? Hell, if the money was good enough, I wouldn't either!
Bush is a war monger PERIOD. Weapons of mass destruction? My ass. What did they find again? Some type of missles, that if positioned properly could maybe destroy a building? Why are those troups in Irak again? To keep the peace? Wasn't it like 2 weeks ago in the Gazette, that the Iraki army had kidnapped some women and threatened to kill her if the Americans didn't back off? Oh but that's because you can't obtain peace without violence first. If Micheal Moore is such a liar and doesn't know what he's talking about then why was there such an uprising in the U.S. against his new movie Farenheight 9/11? Duhh because the government likes to keep it's people in their paranoid little shells, thinking that they could be attacked at any minute by some terrorist group and that they're doing the right thing by "preventing" another attack from ever happening, when in reality there's a complete alteriar motif behind closed doors. I have an American neighboor who just moved here from California a couple of months ago. We've had numerous conversations about how different it is in Canada compared to the States. Over there, they have locks on the windows, high tech security sytems and fences 6 feet high surrounding their homes to protect them and their children from whatever's out there lurking to get them. She (my neighboor) wouldn't even let her kids play out in the backyard if she wasn't there to keep a vigilant eye on them. WHAT THE FUCK. I don't even lock my front door when I go out. Neither do my parents. We've never gotten robbed, My sister or I have never got kidnapped, So why is it so different with these people who simply live south of our border? I don't know... They're like an intirely different breed on their own. I respect Micheal Moore. I respect him because he, as an American himself, born and raised in the good old U.S. of A, set out and questioned what his government is doing. He as an American (key word here, AMERICAN) did not accept war as a solution and set out in the search for the truth and he probably got disgusted with what he found, and tried to warn his fellow Americans of what was really going on. But wait, the government wouldn't actually be doing that to it's people? PUH-LEASE, he must be lying, even though his facts and opinions are backed up by events that have actually occured and interviews with the people involved, it can't be true, so he must be just a fat ass director just trying to make money off of his movies. Yah that must be it. Get a fucking clue. Before you go out and insult this guy for his message that he's trying to send out, and that's that you're a bunch of sheep being lead by a wolf, why don't you go and look up these matters for yourself. Otherwise you've just become like the rest of the population who like to be fed lovely sugar coated lies. |

And it doesn't matter if I'm an American or not. I am Canadian, and damn proud to be one too. You know, god forbid we ever elect a prime minister that's pro Bush, cause then it's say bye bye to this so-called peacefull little land we live on. |

| Coolness: 282440 | Well no, we're helping Bush out...so that makes us allies of Bush's. It doesn't make us supporters of the war on terrorism, but honey? If they ever called on Canada's army, hahaha, you bet they'd be right there in Iraq fighting alongside them...so we're already knee deep in Patriot Shit. |
