Today’s Bleat
2003-11-14
James Lileks is on today:
There have been many things I’ve wished to write about this week. Michael Moore went to Germany and slammed America up and down for all the usual reasons – we don’t have passports! We only speak English! Our stupid minds! Stupid, stupid! We’re not like the cultured Europeans, who – aside from their occasional continent-shattering spasms of facism – are the epp-ee-tomay of culture and enlightenment. This, in the same week that a survey of EUians named Israel as the greatest threat to world peace.
(Sometimes I swear that if a European hits his thumb with a hammer when no one’s around, he shouts GODDAMN JEWS!)
Go read the whole thing.

#5  What's really odd to me is that Mr. Lileks is so damned in tune with the America that M. Moore claims to represent. I advise all to comb Lileks site. In some places I can literally smell 1963.
I will stay at The Gobbler before I die.

#4   Perhaps Mr. Moore could be persuaded to visit Iraq and denounce America next to one of the death pits.

No.. He wouldn't want to get his hands dirty... after all he is an important man. A visionary. Much too busy to deal with trivial things like facts. He is above such things.

He is a legend in his own mind...

#2  Michael Moore went to Germany

The perfect audience. Those Europeans will eat him up like...whatever they eat over there. He must be right, after all, he won an oscar!!!
