Last night Esquire threw a party for Michael Moore's new documentary Capitalism: A Love Story, which all about the vulgar displays of income inequality in this country and how Americans are suffering as a result of the recession. Then according to one person who attended the premiere, this happened:
Following the Premiere, Esquire shuttles many of the attendees straight down to SoHo to the opening of The Esquire Apartment – a fully decadent penthouse where every square inch is paid for by a luxury sponsor. Hot tub, $120k pool table, $60k home theater, fine food. The only thing lacking was a doormat saying “Welcome To Capitalism.”
I had fun….But ooooh the irony. Everyone I talked to was like, “man, this is the most bizarre combination. I bet Michael Moore would freak out if he saw that this was happening.”….And then he showed up. And was eating it up. And then one of the families from the film came.
Are you Mark Hemingway, who works for National Review Online?

This rotund man is opposed to investments that are determined by private decision and mainly by competition in the free market. But he is not adverse to aquire and multiply his possessions through his own industry and craft. He try's to gain adherents by persuading them to a cause, that captialism is evil.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately for the imbeciles that follow him he is a person who acts in contradiction to his stated beliefs.
The only thing about him that is not a sham is his lust for food. His habit of voracious eating and his known contacts with domesticated swine not yet sexually mature, he likes them on the wild side, has some of his follow's defiantly announcing that he is starting to resemble the pigs that he is cohorting with.
Every time he appears on TV lamenting the evils of capitalism the butcher's associations across the country express their anger that the demand for PORK plummets.
I don't think I've ever read opinions quite like yours, Russell.
ReplyDeleteMicheal Moore hates capitalism. How did he become so rich? Was it Communism? Does he collect millions of American dollars to go live in his gated community? Did he use union workers on his film? He wants everything to be equal but that doesn't include him. Put me a Mr. Moore in the same room and see if he wants to make the income of that room the same. I bet he does not. Hypocrite, moron.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous-----I utilize humor in some of my opinions to lesson my wrath for the insanity emanating out of the White house. The Obama administration is a cancer reeking, reeking, of tax cheats, lobbyists and czars.
ReplyDeleteIf I truely printed my feelings towards this maligant growth ruining not running this country I would by-pass by far what even the creator's of this wonderful site advance.

It's hard to get further out than this, Russell. But anything is possible, I suppose.
