I know you've all heard, but I thought I'd remind you.

I'm going. I'll probably be there opening night with a pad and a pencil. I'm gonna pad Michael Moore's already humongous wallet just to count the lies and report back to you.

Suffice to say, nothing in the movie will be true and none of it will make sense. But I'll go anyway so I can report back to you on the clapping seals in the sure-to-be-packed theatre.

Here's what F.H.C. had to say on Leno:

“Some things are just wrong,” Moore continued. ”This capitalist economic system that we have, it might have been right at one point, it’s not right now. And I don’t think we’re ever gonna put the genie back in the bottle so we need to come up with something new to replace it.”

You know what's funny, this colossal idiot might actually be right without knowing why. The system "that we have" now is; a) not "capitalist" but some illicit hybrid version of state-capitalism, and; b) yeah, not all that great. Plus, the fact that he acknowledges that it "might have been right at one point" is uncharacteristically lucid for Moore. Mind you, Moore has no idea why he's correct, because he's stupid, but he's right nonetheless. Like a broken clock he nailed his two rights for the year in a single statement. Play the lottery Mike.

Capitalism was "right" when there was no Government involvement. Obviously Moore isn't advocating true laissez-faire Capitalism but most likely exactly the opposite. The capitalism we have today is a faint whiff of the system that sky-rocketed the United States to the undisputed top of the food chain in a little under a century and created more wealth and more prosperity for more people in that time than in all of prior human history combined.

That was Capitalism. We need it again and none too soon.

Check back on Monday October 5th for a complete review of the movie.
