Blogging on the radio: comments and insights rants on news and events.
Michael Moore:
As reported by Orcinus, a right wing PR firm has put up a site on the Internet with the sole purpose of preventing Michal Moore’s new film “Fahrenheit 9/11" from being shown.
Luckily, the designers of this site have conveniently placed email links to many major theater chains, so it will be very easy for people who want to see the film to use the anti-Moore website and contact theaters in support of the movie.
Go ahead. Click through and email a few theaters. You’ll be glad you did it.
Now, we can have some fun with this right wing web site and actually use its own resources against it, which is great, but the fact is that we are in the middle of a culture war that is turning increasingly violent, and fascist behavior is creeping closer and closer to mainstream acceptance.
The Orcinus post cited above has an update on recent activities that will scare you. Check the Orcinus archives for other recent posts about creeping fascist impulses in this country.
Orcinus’ Dave Neiwert asserts that the effort to censor Moore’s work is part of a larger trend that includes physical violence and other forms of intimidation. Read the whole post for details.
Playlists
Each week, I bring my planned songs in on CD. I usually end up playing most or all of them in the planned order. But sometimes things go askew. Sorry - no guarantees or refunds.
Trailers
Lots of requests for this link to the “Fahrenheit 9/11" trailer.
Another good movie, delayed for a week, but coming out soon: ”The Hunting of the President” It’s about the vicious right wing attacks on President Clinton.
Building Fund Marathon
WMNF is raising funds for our new building from Tuesday July 6 to Tuesday July 13. MorningWood Marathon is on the last day, so please save some pennies for me!
