Canadian Bacon (OK, so this one is OT)
Just saw a cable re-run of Canadian Bacon, written, produced and
directed by Michael Moore. Absolutely funny, again. Sort of a primer on how we manage to shoot ourselves in the foot so many times. Most of the stars in it are Canadian. For Harry: I taped it and will bring it up with us. Canadians will also get a huge charge out of it. -- Alan "If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion, and avoid the people, you might better stay home." --James Michener |

"Wag the Dog" was about faking a war to get reporters' attention off the presidential sex scandal. Gabby |

I remember something about dumping garbage on the shore of one of the Great Lakes and blaming it on Canada. Or am I confusing that with Wag the Dog (except Wag the Dog created a war in some Eastern European country). If I'm thinking about the right one, I didn't realize it was a Michael Moore film It was quite funny, though, especially when watching it with a group of Americans. rona -- ***For e-mail, replace .com with .ca Sorry for the inconvenience!*** |

I believe the issue was that the economy sucked and a war would distract people from unemployment and despair. Let's not confuse fact and fiction here. Wars and security alerts for popularity ratings = fact (i.e. we know they happen); wars for unemployment = fiction (i.e. we know that no one in power really cares about the unemployed). -- Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for? Gimli, son of Gloín |

In light of today's world, it is very timely, still, as well. -- Alan "If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion, and avoid the people, you might better stay home." --James Michener |
