Michael Moore -- Reliably, Certifiably Wrong. Always.

So here we are at the deathbed of General Motors. The company's body not yet cold, and I find myself filled with -- dare I say it -- joy.

-- Moore's blog post today, Monday, June 1, 2009

It is not the joy of revenge against a corporation that ruined my hometown and brought misery, divorce, alcoholism, homelessness, physical and mental debilitation, and drug addiction to the people I grew up with. Nor do I, obviously, claim any joy in knowing that 21,000 more GM workers will be told that they, too, are without a job. But you and I and the rest of America now own a car company! I know, I know -- who on earth wants to run a car company? Who among us wants $50 billion of our tax dollars thrown down the rat hole of still trying to save GM? Let's be clear about this: The only way to save GM is to kill GM.
Michael missed his calling.

He could've fought in Vietnam where villages were burned to save them.

Moore's got a few more off-the-reservation suggestions to make to President Obama, et al.

But there's only so much insanity a guy can take on a Monday.

A Challenging Ballot, Indeed

And they said he wasn't funny anymore ...

An interesting post today in the Whistleblower blog of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that shows a ballot contested by the Al Franken campaign. A recount is underway in the U.S. Senate race between Franken, the former SNL writer/actor, and incumbent GOP Sen. Norm Coleman. Franken trailed by 211 votes after the first count.

Here's the ballot:




What do you think? Was the voter's "intent" clear enough, even if they had a bit of trouble staying within the lines?

To my eye, the ballot is clear enough, it's definitive enough, and gosh darn it, it's a good ballot.

But you wouldn't believe some of the deranged comments left by the Moonbat Kool-aid drinkers. They'll simultaneously amuse you and depress you.
