Writes to say:
With all this hoi-polloi around Michael Moore these days (which you obviously don’t like J), I thought I’d recommend another documentary for you, “Breaking the silence” by John Pilger. He has a somewhat better reputation than Moore, having been a political commentator and war-reporter for over 40 years.He’s pretty unforgiving, and usually has a lot better foundation for his claims than Moore (that’s probably why he’s held in such high regard, except among them he attack).

Thanks Øyvind!
Well, Moore is a mendacious glory-hog who is actually only interested in using little people to make himself wealthier and more prominent. He doesn't give a rat's ass about economics (he told me so himself) and doesn't care to study the issues he pretends to portentiously weigh in on.
I've been feeding Democrats possible avenues of attack such as:
and
The House of Saud
for years now, so in some sense there are things that I agree with Moore on, though in the same way that I agree with Hitler on the need for modern asphalt and grading on national highways.
