A STATEMENT FROM MICHAEL MOORE ON THE EXECUTION OF TROY DAVIS
I encourage everyone I know to never travel to Georgia, never buy anything made in Georgia, to never do business in Georgia. I will ask my publisher to pull my book from every Georgia bookstore and if they won't do that I will donate every dime of every royalty my ...
Thank God for Tony Bennett. He spoke the truth on Howard Stern and now the forces of hate are after him. He said that his fighting in World War II made him a pacifist. He said that perhaps had our behavior in the Persian Gulf been different, 9/11 might have ...
'Trouble' Hits the Pacific Northwest
I had great time tonight at Seattle's Neptune Theater. Earlier I stopped by Microsoft and spoke to employees there, including the guy who started the George W. Bush "miserable failure" Googlebomb. (You can see pictures from both talks below.) And in between I squeezed in a taping of an episode ...

It's a Long Way from Bunker Hill
Last night, on the 3rd anniversary of the start of the Wall Street Heist of 2008, I spoke at Bunker Hill Community College in the Charlestown section of Boston. It is not, to say the least, a wealthy neighborhood. It is roughscrabble and working class, a place where there are ...
Now, Where Was I? The End of Three Sentences I Didn't Get to Finish
Yesterday I was fortunate to be a guest on The View and The Colbert Report. As time ran out on both shows while I was in mid-sentence (or, as in the case with The View, a change of topic) I was not allowed to complete my thought. Which is ok ...

Today's the day! So many months -- and years -- of one's life go into writing a book, and then one day, if you're lucky, it's placed on the shelves of a bookstore (and now, in the new century, it is converted to ones and zeroes downloaded onto your e-reading ...
"My Terrorists" -- The Excerpt Everyone's Talking About from "HERE COMES TROUBLE" by Michael Moore
This week, I gave permission to London's Guardian newspaper to publish an excerpt from my new book, HERE COMES TROUBLE, before it hits the shelves next week (or, to put it another way, no American paper was going to run a 4,000-word piece from yours truly!). This excerpt, which the ...

30 Years Ago Today: The Day the Middle Class Died
From time to time, someone under 30 will ask me, "When did this all begin, America's downward slide?" They say they've heard of a time when working people could raise a family and send the kids to college on just one parent's income (and that college in states like California ...
Some Final Thoughts on the Death of Osama bin Laden
"The Nazis killed tens of MILLIONS. They got a trial. Why? Because we're not like them. We're Americans. We roll different." – Michael Moore in an interview last week Last week, President Obama fulfilled a campaign promise and killed Osama bin Laden. Well he didn't actually do the killing himself. ...
Why We Put Those Like Bin Laden on Trial
We put those who do evil things on trial not so much for them (though we do do it for them because, unlike their view of us, we see them as human), but we do it for ourselves. We do it because we are civilized, we are a free people, ...

How I Got to Madison, Wisconsin
Early yesterday morning, around 1:00 AM, I had finished work for the day on my current "project" (top secret for now -- sorry, no spoiler alerts!). Someone had sent me a link to a discussion Bill O'Reilly had had with Sarah Palin a few hours earlier about my belief that ...
America is not broke. Contrary to what those in power would like you to believe so that you'll give up your pension, cut your wages, and settle for the life your great-grandparents had, America is not broke. Not by a long shot. The country is awash in wealth and cash. ...
Why I Support the People of Thompson, Canada -- And You Should Too
To people down here in the U.S., Thompson, Canada and its fight with the Brazilian mining giant Vale may seem very far away. It's not. (Don't be embarrassed if you need a map to find Thompson, though -- blame the U.S. media, which will only tell you about Canadians if ...
