The Campaign In the USA

Called Michael Moore and congratulated him on getting his movie (Fahrenheit 911) shown in Canada. He cackled merrily and said that he was real pleased about being able to stick it to those "Disney fascists!" Then he got quite romantic on the subject of Canucks. "Those back bacon munching, hoser socialist, ice-backs, love me more than the French," he boasted. "And not the Canadian French - but the real ones from Europe… In Paris, I have God-like status, or, well, Jerry Lewis status anyway… Which is still way better than Bush… But thank goodness for those beer guzzling Canadians, eh? Not only do they fund my movies, they also call me 'babe.'"

I asked if he wanted to go out for boiler makers and some bowling to celebrate but he said bowling was for "inarticulate blue collar slobs" and suggested we hook up at a remote boit he knew of for cognac, fonds d'Artichauts Mornay, Veal Prince Orloff, Oie Rotie aux Pruneaux, Braised Calf Brains, and Un Moule Caramelise. To be quite frank, I had no idea what the hell he was talking about but I joined him anyway. It was a pretty good meal. But tres pricey! And of course, by the time the bill arrived, Michael was nowhere to be found. (He was probably in a taxicab, which he most likely stiffed!) Goddamn cheap socialist millionaires! The only things they like to share are their wonderful opinions of themselves.
