Blame Monica!

Dear friends, For the past week I have suffered this unbearable guilt that I may have put George W. Bush in the White House. I thought back to the time I first met with Ralph Nader and, secretly, we hatched The Plot. Our goal? To make this country suffer, suffer, ... continue reading

The Presidency -- Just Another Perk

Dear Governor and President-in-Waiting Bush: This has to be the first time in our history that a candidate who is losing BOTH the popular vote AND the electoral vote insists on being anointed President of the United States. I can understand why you expect this title to be yours. You ... continue reading

To: Secretary General of the United Nations, Koffi Anan  From: Michael Moore, citizen Dear Mr. Secretary General: Help us!

The Elderly Jews of South Florida ... and 62 Years Ago Tonight

Dear friends, There was something about yesterday's demonstration in front of the courthouse in Palm Beach County that profoundly moved me:  hundreds of elderly Jewish citizens, many in tears, demanding, begging for someone to listen to them. They tried to explain that the ballot they voted on was so confusing ... continue reading

Stop Bush's Theft of the People's Will!

Dear friends, It's after 5am on the East coast and things couldn't be more insane. At 2:20am, they declared Bush the winner. Gore called Bush and conceded. One hour later, all hell broke lose. Suddenly, Bush's 50,000 vote lead in Florida had dropped to 500! Gore, getting ready to take ... continue reading

Just In: Bush or Gore May Win!

Dear friends, It's a cliffhanger! From my vantage point -- and, hey, whadda I know? -- I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict that.... EITHER BUSH OR GORE IS ABSOLUTELY GONNA WIN! And when they do, just as soon as those votes in Florida are recounted and/or challenged ... continue reading

A Final Election Day Letter

"...the vice president spoke candidly about criticism from local filmmaker Michael Moore that the Clinton administration has ignored Flint while trumpeting economic improvements in most other parts of the country. Moore and others have charged that Gore's recent interest in Flint is merely a symptom of a candidate willing to ... continue reading

How Gore Can Win

Dear Gore Voters or Those Frightened Enough to Vote for Gore: Thank you for your 20,000 e-mails. Please consider this letter my olive branch to you. I had not heard from most of you until after Gore blew the third debate. Suddenly, everyone realized Al might lose. No one, including ... continue reading

Three Strikes and You're Out, Mr. Bush

Dear friends, With the revelation last night of the drunk driving arrest and conviction in 1976 of George W. Bush, this marks the THIRD arrest -- that we know of -- involving this man who would be President. Let me ask you, the readers of this letter: How many times ... continue reading

An Open Letter to Governor Bush

Dear Governor Bush, It's been awhile since we've talked. I believe your last words to me were, "Go find real work!" You kidder, you! That very night, it was you who found real work for yourself by executing your 117th human being in Texas. How DO you do it?! Actually, ... continue reading
