With the US Election only weeks away now, Michael Moore has chosen the right time to release his new documentary titled “Slacker Uprising“.
His plans are to premiere it exclusively on the internet for free, on September 23rd, hosted on Blip.TV.
This will be followed by a DVD which will be available through Amazon.com and Netflix on October 7th.
The movie documents Moore’s 62-city tour through swing states during the 2004 U.S. presidential election to rally young voters.
Moore hopes “Slacker Uprising” will help spur young people to vote this November. After more than 20 million 18- to 29-year-olds cast ballots in 2004 (an 11 percent increase from 2000), he’s hoping even greater numbers of “slackers” vote this year.
Moore said “Slacker Uprising” cost about $2 million to make and that he will end up paying about $1 million out of his pocket. Neither he nor the distributor, Brave New Films, plans to profit from the release.

And did you see Moore on CNN’s “Larry King Live” the other night? He was brilliant, and brilliant for an entire hour. When asked what he thought of the Republican National Convention, he said it was pretty boring; he was disappointed that they hadn’t livened it up with the field dressing of a moose. (An obvious reference to McCain’s Vice Presidential running mate, Alaska’s Gov. Palin.)
Have you seen the photo she released of herself, poolside, wearing an American flag-styled bikini and carrying an assault rifle at port-arms? Very affecting.
The moose, dressed or undressed, isn’t native to Europe or Africa, so Moore’s reference may seem a bit abstruse. I’ve therefore attached a link to the New Hampshire Wildlife Commission’s website’s guide on how to field dress a moose. It, too, is quite affecting. Below is an excerpt: what every moose hunter needs to bring to the hunt.
Back to hurricane watch, though it seems this one’s also going for New Orleans. Poor New Orleans.
Cheers,

Recommended Equipment
Perhaps the most important consideration when hunting moose is the animal’s size. An adult moose can weigh from 600 to 1400 pounds, and once down, it will not be easily moved. The appropriate equipment will make this part of a successful hunt much easier. Along with whatever personal hunting or camping equipment you bring, you should also take the items listed below on your moose hunt.
* Sharp, six-inch hunting knife
* Sharpening stone
* Properly sharpened hatchet or ax
* Bone saw
* 50 feet of strong 1/4 inch nylon rope
* Several pieces of toweling or wiping cloth
* Blaze orange material
* Cheesecloth or meat socks
* Two or three large plastic bags
* A good supply of black pepper
* A lightweight block and tackle or come-along of one-ton minimum capacity
* Pack board(s) or metal framed backpack(s)

about the micheal moore doc it is only available for downloading only for the persons who reside in the US and Canada!
I live in a part of the country dominated by Mexicans who work very hard to raise their family and contribute so much culturally to the community. Someone should get rid of the hate in your heart.
I, too, am a hard-working American (Asian-American, if you must know) and was born and raised side-by-side with Mexicans in San Jose, CA. The fact that I know several Mexican families (which includes my in-laws) who work long, hard hours to support their family and help pay for their children’s education proves that what you’re saying is entirely false, not to mention hateful.
