Yes, We Are a Laughing Stock. Are the press and politicians that clueless as to why the world is laughing at us? I hate to tell you, it ain't because of the roads and child tax credits. We are the laughing stock because we refuse to take care of our own people - and NO ONE around the world can understand why we force our old people to suffer and why we put our own children last.

Michael Moore: Members of Congress and Their Staffers Aided and Abetted Capitol Rioters In a video Michael Moore says that members of congress and their staffers were complicit and aided and abetted the invaders of congress. He writes, "This week's Trump terrorist attack was not random. It wasn't an accident. It was planned, aided and abetted by certain members of the police, the military and the Republican party.

November 2nd -- the day the Dems are expected to crash and burn. Sadly, it's a situation the Democrats have brought upon themselves -- even though the majority of them didn't create the mess we're in. But they've had over a year and a half to start getting the job done to fix it. Instead, they've run scared ever since they took power.

Dwight Was Right The only people really making the decisions about America's wars are across the river from Washington in the Pentagon. They wear uniforms. They have lots of weapons they bought from the corporations they will work for when they retire.

Never Forget: Bad Wars Aren't Possible Unless Good People Back Them We invaded Iraq because most Americans -- including good liberals like Al Franken, Nicholas Kristof & Bill Keller of the New York Times, David Remnick of the New Yorker, the editors of the Atlantic and the New Republic, Harvey Weinstein, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer and John Kerry -- wanted to.

If That 'Mosque' ISN'T Built, This Is No Longer America I am opposed to the building of the "mosque" two blocks from Ground Zero. I want it built on Ground Zero. Why? Because I believe in an America that protects those who are the victims of hate and prejudice. I believe in an America that says you have the right to worship whatever God you have, wherever you want to worship.

Happy F**kin' Labor Day! Dear Rahm Emanuel: Happy F*ckin' Labor Day! I read this week that -- according to a new book by Steven Rattner, your administration's former "Car Czar" -- during White House meetings about how to save the tens of thousands of jobs that would be lost if GM and Chrysler collapsed, your response was, "F*ck the UAW!"

How the People in My District Got Stupak to Change His Mind-and Thus Saved the Health Care Bill Well, our full court press on my congressman, Bart Stupak worked! Hundreds of my neighbors here in his Michigan district spent the weekend organizing thousands of voters to get busy and save the health care bill. We called Stupak's congressional office non-stop and we got thousands of people up here to flood his email box. And then a rare thing happened: An elected representative did what the people told him to do.

The Great Thing About the Health Care Law That Has Passed? It Will Save Republican Lives, Too (An Open Letter to Republi "To My Fellow Citizens, the Republicans: Thanks to last night's vote, that child of yours who has had asthma since birth will now be covered after suffering for her first nine years as an American child with a pre-existing condition...If it's any consolation, the thieves who run the health insurance companies will still get to deny coverage to adults with pre-existing conditions for the next four years."

My Congressman, Bart Stupak, Has Neither a Uterus Nor a Brain I live in Michigan, represented by Mr. Bart Stupak. You've probably never heard of him. Yet, just days before a weak, simple-minded, health care bill has a chance of making it through Congress--and Stupak is threatening to derail it because he wants to make sure that no woman WHO BUYS HER OWN INSURANCE with HER OWN INSURANCE with HER OWN MONEY is able to have a medically-insured abortion.

Let's Watch the Oscars Together -- Right Now! ...from Michael Moore The best movie I saw this year won't be winning any awards tonight at the Oscars. It wasn't even nominated for anything. In fact, it wasn't even shown in the United States. Yet, I'm confident that, if you had had a chance to see it, you would likely agree with me that this is a brilliant film, a rare gem.

Free Screenings Tonight of "Capitalism" for the Jobless and Homeless in America's Hardest Hit Cities Of course,a free movie ain't much when what you really need is a job or a place to live.That's not going to change until the party that controls both the Congress and the WH wakes up and realizes the American people put them in charge to fix the mess created by the previous administration.For that to happen requires the active involvement of each of us.It's going to also require us to challenge some fundamental assumptions

"We the People" to "King of the World": "YOU'RE FIRED!" This bold move has sent the heads of corporate America spinning and spewing pea soup. Obama has issued this edict: The government of, by, and for the people is in charge here, not big business. John McCain got it. On the floor of the Senate he asked, "What does this signal send to other corporations and financial institutions about whether the federal government will fire them as well? ...Am I next?"

Why I'm Not Now and Have Never Been the Democrats' "Rush Limbaugh" What I have believed in, and what I have stood for in these past eight years -- an end to the war, establishing universal health care, closing Guantanamo and banning torture, making the rich pay more taxes and aggressively going after the corporate chiefs on Wall Street -- these are all things which the majority of Americans believe in too.

Senate to Middle Class: Drop Dead These Senate vampires wanted blood. Blue collar blood. You see, they weren't opposed to the bailout because they believed in the free market or capitalism. No, they were opposed to the bailout because they're opposed to workers making a decent wage. In their rage, they were driven to destroy the backbone of this country, not because the UAW hadn't given back enough, but because the UAW hadn't given up.

Saving the Big 3 for You and Me ...a message from Michael Moore Every single dollar Congress gives these three companies will be flushed right down the toilet. There is nothing the management teams of the Big 3 are going to do to convince people to go out during a recession and buy their big, gas-guzzling, inferior products. Just forget it. Buy the company and get it started building cars that are not oil dependent, plus trains, buses, subways and light rail.

Here's How to Fix the Wall Street Mess ...from Michael Moore I would like to propose my own bailout plan. My suggestions, listed below, are predicated on the singular & simple belief that the rich must pull themselves up by their own platinum bootstraps. Sorry, fellows, but you drilled it into our heads one too many times: There... is... no... free... lunch. And thank you for encouraging us to hate people on welfare! So, there will be no handouts from us to you. Stop the senate tonight

Who Do We Vote For This Time Around? A Letter from Michael Moore Do you feel the same as me? That the Democratic front-runners are a less-than-stellar group of candidates, and that none of them are the "slam dunk" we wish they were? Of course, there are wonderful things about each of them. Any one of them would be infinitely better than what we have now.

"Sicko" Already in Top 5 Grossing Documentaries of all Time! And, to show my thanks to all of you who'll go see "Sicko" this weekend, I'm going to send one of you and a guest on a free weekend to the universal health care country of your choice! That's right. You'll get to pick one of the three industrialized countries featured in the movie where, if you get sick, you get help for free, no matter who you are.

SiCKO's Impact We're here today to discuss the impact SiCKO is having on the health care debate in this country. To date, we have appeared in Congress to discuss the need to get rid of private health insurance. We testified before the legislature in California in support of a reform effort to protect Californians from for-profit health insurance. We have done events with mayors, with leading members of Congress, on Wall Street...

BlueCross Secret Memo Re: 'Sicko'... An employee who works at Capital BlueCross has sent us a confidential memo written and circulated by its Vice President of Corporate Communications.His job,it seems,was to go and watch "Sicko,"observe the audience's reaction,and then suggest a plan of action for how to deal with the movie...a fascinating look at how one health care company views "Sicko" and what it fears its larger impact will be on the public.

And we haven't even done THAT...

I, and the millions of others who are now in charge with our Democratic Congress, have a pledge we would like to make to you, a list of promises that we offer you because we value you as our fellow Americans. You deserve to know what we plan to do with our newfound power -- and, to be specific, what we will do to you and for you.
