Michael Moore is a douchebag. He gives fat people a bad name.

duchovny being a sex addict in real life and on tv makes me giggle... poor tea.

Is it Gutav? Or Gustav? I don't speak Spanish so maybe I am wrong.

Mr Moore opened his mouth? He must have a movie opening soon....

Yes Michael Moore, thank GOD there's a huge hurricane to, at the very least, displace millions of people, reignite horrible memories and potentially give New Orleans the final blow that it needed! Thank GOD for that! Woohoo!
