Cut and pasted news story:
Daschle denies hugging Moore
There was no hug between "Fahrenheit 9/11" director Michael Moore and Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle at the film's June 23 premiere in Washington, D.C., Daschle said Thursday.
When asked about Moore's account of a hug after the premiere and the criticism Daschle has received for it, the South Dakota Democrat said he and Moore did not embrace. Daschle said his schedule forced him to arrive late and leave early.
"I know we senators all tend to look alike. But I arrived late, and I had to leave early for Senate votes. I didn't meet Mr. Moore," Daschle said.
In a lengthy Time magazine piece about the movie and its political effects, Richard Corliss reported Moore's criticism of Daschle's leadership and the filmmaker's account of a hug with Daschle.
"At the Washington premiere, Moore sat a few rows behind Daschle. Afterward, says Moore, ?He gave me a hug and said he felt bad and that we were all gonna fight from now on. I thanked him for being a good sport,'" Corliss wrote.
Daschle, who was at the premiere at the invitation of producer/distributor Harvey Weinstein, said he and Moore have never met.

So either Michael Moore is lying or Tom Daschle is lying. Actually, neither would surprise me. (Geesh, they're probably BOTH lying somehow.)

I just got back from a round at a great local executive course, it is surrounded by a cranberry farm, a strawberry farm and a large power station field, couple all that with immaculate grrne and fairways and you spend more time hitting goose poop out of the way then golf balls down the fairway.
There were at least 7 different 'gaggles' of 5 or more geese as we played, little ones in the water hazards learning to swim (and crap) and others waddling across the tee while you re tryin gto set up. One golfer yelled fore and we all flinched, hands son our heads, while a golf ball zipped by and straight under a goose crossing a fairway. It simply ruffled it's feathers a bit and didn;t lose a single waddle on its course.
They are just too abundant, too confortable and too destructive. Currently they are looking at human ways to thin the goose population in Vancouver's Stanley park.
Well Max, I'd say if you are a hunter, I certainly would look for a way to get them to fly down to your yard, don't forget to keep the BBQ hot.

No, I'm not a hunter. I don't even own a gun, Besides, being a lover of wildlife, I'd much rather shoot them with a 35mm lens than a (whatever type of) gun. Actually, I really think that the Canadian geese around here are a rather pleasant pain-in-the-ass, if you know what I mean. (And only for about four winter months.) But golf, that's another story. And they do indeed love the courses around here as well.
A friend of mine was playing a round of golf once, when he hit a goose in mid-air with a sizzling 3-wood shot from the fairway. Both the ball and the goose came tumbling down to the ground. My friend realized that it's a federal and state offense to kill a goose, and many localities even have "goose harassment" laws. He didn't want to leave a dead goose laying in the middle of the fairway, so he stuffed the carcass into the side pouch of his golf bag to discard after his round (BBQ, throw into the river, funeral with taps, who knows).
After he finished his round (and the dang goose cost him an extra stroke), and before he put his clubs in the trunk of his car, he unzipped the pouch to remove the goose carcass from his bag. The goose scared the poop out of him when it started flapping its wings and squawking up a storm before flying away. I wasn't there to witness it, but I laugh just thinking about the scene it must have been.

What kind of idiot writes that?
I think Michael Moore is an extraordinary man. He showed the world what kind of president the United States of America has. I am not a very big fan of you people. Hunting, killing and destroying the REAL americans. The indians. I get so mad. What rights do you have to call Mr Moore an idiot? Do you think its right to bomb iraq before collecting some stuff? The president and the military are excatly the same as bin laden. Different names, same shit.
Clean your own shit before throwing shit at other people.

and lately we've taken to wondering about thee. ;) My own personal view of lard butt MM is that he is skilled in cinematography and he knows how to make a buck. He is not great behind a camera but he is damn good if not great on an editing bench and that is where movies are truly made. It would not surprise me in the least if Fatso had enough footage in the can to make a pro Bush movie if he so chose. I have it on somewhat dubious authority that this is so and if he could have put it altogether within 6 months of 9/11 that is the way he "might" have gone but in the course of events Iraq cropped up and the wind shifted. Now it was popular to bash Bush and there is a rabid anti-Bush group amongst the bleeding hearts of the left so you know where Tubby's financing came from. I don't know what's happened to politics since Reagan. When or why did it get so meanspirited. The lunatic fringe of the Republicans tried to destroy Clinton and now the lunatics from the Demoocrats are in full cry after Bush. We're running asimilar scenario with our pols in Canada and again I'm seeing the same vitriol and hatred as there is in the states and Moore is exploiting it for his own ends. I truly believe he doesn't give a damn except to make money. If Moore were really sincere he would run for office himself. Someone once said, "It takes a man to play the game and a punk to criticize." Do you think Moore the BUFF will ever put it on the line and go out to play. If he did I might have some respect for him.:( :( :(

You certainly do speak as any Eastern Canadian would. I lived in Nova Scotia for a while before Sarnia for a year or so before endig up out west. I must say the best people I've met out East are most definitely in the Maritimes. Little simple but ever so wonderful all the same, in fact some of the warmest and most welcoming people I've met worldwide.
Toronto, I passed up two opportunities to move for work, one company I quit after two years because they wanted me to move to Toronto. I don't mind Canada as a whole but found that many of the people in Toronto are just like a cross between L.A. and New York wannabes, they think they have a big sity but don't know which big US city they want to be like. Montreal is a geat party town, oh the stories from Montreal!
Out west, much more laid back but it seems we pay all the country's taxes, over and over again. Then again, we have a majestic province so we get what we pay for I guess.
I don't see the East as any better or worse than the West, just different. Whatever turns your crank right? Oe thing about Canada, we have immense diversity across the country, no two provinces are alike, the people don't act the same, think the same etc. We do have the same 'Canada is a blast' mentality but that's about it, each province is quite unique in its contribution to the country.
The west feels it sustains the East but has no say in Parliment. The East feel they sustain the West and should have ALL the say in parliment. Either way, my backyard looks nice and the eagles are busy today, so it all the problems just disappear.
