I do plan on seeing it (and reading his book) despite the fact that it will
probably offend me...but I have thick skin. :) Since I'm so poor, I'll
probably wait until it comes to a library near me. 

BTW: If you go to his web site, www.michaelmoore.com, you can see this
statement under the "Alert Action": 

"There are 30 million Americans living without enough food."

Huh? How many Americans are there? 350 million? So, according to this
statement (without a cite, I noticed), there are just under 1 out of 12
people without enough food? I don't mean to whitewash the issue, but that
sounds just a *tad* inflated. And I thought conservatives were resorting to
hyperbole when they said that the media always seems to "discover" the
homeless and hungry in this country whenever there is a sitting Republican
president...
