Michael Moore gets ready to roll
As Moore prepares a new film on America's ailing health care industry, will it continue being open season on the 'scruffy guy in a baseball cap'?

"Michael Moore is considering making a movie about the Government lapses that surrounded Hurricane Katrina. Moore is reported to have said the issue 'has all the elements that made Fahrenheit 9/11 such a powerful film ... the political outrage, the human suffering and the incredible footage.'" -- The New Zealand Herald, September 15, 2005

In early January, at the Thirty-First Annual People's Choice Awards, Michael Moore's remarkable documentary film, Fahrenheit 9/11, received the "Favorite Movie" award. Moore thanked the people for their votes, and said that he was "amazed" to be receiving the award.

He then dedicated it to US troops fighting overseas.

Moore closed by saying that he loved "making movies" and that he would take "this as an invitation to make more Fahrenheit 9/11s."

Then, Moore seemed to disappear from the public eye.

However, unlike Richard Nixon who, after losing the 1962 California gubernatorial election to Pat Brown, delivered his "You-won't-have-Richard-Nixon-to-kick-around-anymore" retirement (albeit premature) speech, Moore made no such pledge.

Nine months later, Moore is about to set his cameras rolling.

[HEyHEY]

1. Finally! A topic he can't tie into Flint, Michigan!

[wtmusic]

2. He'll find a way nt

[HEyHEY]

3. haha...no doubt

[Wickerman]

6. all politics is local

as Tip O'Neill famously said. Moore does a nice job of using Flint, MI as metaphor for Any Town USA. I have no doubt he'll tie Flint in; its effective.

4. I think Mike is doing some serious misdirection.

He's going to swing for the fences on this one:

Show the Ohio election woes (suspiciously little word on the footage he shot)

The lack of health care

The Iraq War

AND

The Katrina disaster.

When it comes out, it will be even more devastating than F9/11 or BFC.

Oh yeah, Camp Casey too.

5. Woohoo!

Can't wait!

I'll be the first in line to buy a ticket.

7. Another movie to show the truth....there are never enough of these.

Thank you Michael Moore for telling it like it is. We need you in this world of "illusion"...

Tell it like it is.

8. I'll be curious

to see how it'll be received this time out with the political landscape changing and all...
