Via Climate Depot and Gateway Pundit is this piece from serial liar Michael Moore on his own website: Goodbye, GM. Some of you will undoubtedly feel dumber for having read such drivel, but Moore hailing from Michigan and supposedly supporting union workers here in the state, is gleeful regarding GMs demise, and it is thus worth noting here.
I write this on the morning of the end of the once-mighty General Motors. By high noon, the President of the United States will have made it official: General Motors, as we know it, has been totaled.
As I sit here in GM's birthplace, Flint, Michigan, I am surrounded by friends and family who are filled with anxiety about what will happen to them and to the town.
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.
We are now in a different kind of war -- a war that we have conducted against the ecosystem and has been conducted by our very own corporate leaders. This current war has two fronts. One is headquartered in Detroit. The products built in the factories of GM, Ford and Chrysler are some of the greatest weapons of mass destruction responsible for global warming and the melting of our polar icecaps.The things we call "cars" may have been fun to drive, but they are like a million daggers into the heart of Mother Nature. To continue to build them would only lead to the ruin of our species and much of the planet.
If that is not one of the most unhinged, tinfoil hat-wearing, moonbat kookiest things, I don't really know what is. The ruin of our species! Total destruction! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes... The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria! The deliberate and systematic destruction of ALL LIFE on Arrakis! Blah, blah, blah. Oh paleeeeeze! Just remember what an environmentalist Michael Moore is based on his record. From Tim Blair some time back:
To celebrate today's Oscar Madison awards in Hollywood, here's a piece on comical, hysterical, spherical Michael Moore:
Perhaps nothing irritates Moore more than criticism of his lifestyle.
He's been known to refer to his house on 10 acres of Torch Lake frontage as a cabin, as if it were a place with four walls, a roof, an outhouse and a stack of cordwood to beat back the chill in winter.
Technically, it is a log cabin. Two stories. According to Antrim County records, the home is worth $1.2 million.
Former Moore pal Ben Hamper -- "I'm just another person he's outgrown" -- has an interesting theory about Moore's capacity for denial:
At an appearance at Michigan State University in late January, Moore took questions after his two-hour talk. A student asked if rumors about him building on a wetland Up North were true.
Silence. Then: "Don't know what you're talking about."
According to state records, Moore partially filled in a wetland to improve his beach. He quickly fixed the problem and wasn't fined.
Environmental regulation for thee, but not for me!!! Bald. Faced. Hypocrisy.
So Moore is happy that GM is bankrupt, right after Chrysler. Michigan moms and dads will lose jobs. Lots of them. And Moore is happy sitting in his big house using up all the natural resources to his heart's desire. Moore - just stick with the propaganda already...
