Do you need a good laugh? Then rent 'Little Man', a hilarious movie starring some of the Wayan Brothers. I watched it the other night and I laughed so hard I almost wet myself!

A Liberal's Pledge to Disheartened Conservatives
November 14th, 2006
To My Conservative Brothers and Sisters,
I know you are dismayed and disheartened at the results of last week's election. You're worried that the country is heading toward a very bad place you don't want it to go. Your 12-year Republican Revolution has ended with so much yet to do, so many promises left unfulfilled. You are in a funk, and I understand.
Well, cheer up, my friends! Do not despair. I have good news for you. I, and the millions of others who are now in charge with our Democratic Congress, have a pledge we would like to make to you, a list of promises that we offer you because we value you as our fellow Americans. You deserve to know what we plan to do with our newfound power -- and, to be specific, what we will do to you and for you.
Thus, here is our Liberal's Pledge to Disheartened Conservatives:
Dear Conservatives and Republicans,
I, and my fellow signatories, hereby make these promises to you:
1. We will always respect you for your conservative beliefs. We will never, ever, call you "unpatriotic" simply because you disagree with us. In fact, we encourage you to dissent and disagree with us.
2. We will let you marry whomever you want, even when some of us consider your behavior to be "different" or "immoral." Who you marry is none of our business. Love and be in love -- it's a wonderful gift.
3. We will not spend your grandchildren's money on our personal whims or to enrich our friends. It's your checkbook, too, and we will balance it for you.
4. When we soon bring our sons and daughters home from Iraq, we will bring your sons and daughters home, too. They deserve to live. We promise never to send your kids off to war based on either a mistake or a lie.
5. When we make America the last Western democracy to have universal health coverage, and all Americans are able to get help when they fall ill, we promise that you, too, will be able to see a doctor, regardless of your ability to pay. And when stem cell research delivers treatments and cures for diseases that affect you and your loved ones, we'll make sure those advances are available to you and your family, too.
6. Even though you have opposed environmental regulation, when we clean up our air and water, we, the Democratic majority, will let you, too, breathe the cleaner air and drink the purer water.
7. Should a mass murderer ever kill 3,000 people on our soil, we will devote every single resource to tracking him down and bringing him to justice. Immediately. We will protect you.
8. We will never stick our nose in your bedroom or your womb. What you do there as consenting adults is your business. We will continue to count your age from the moment you were born, not the moment you were conceived.
9. We will not take away your hunting guns. If you need an automatic weapon or a handgun to kill a bird or a deer, then you really aren't much of a hunter and you should, perhaps, pick up another sport. We will make our streets and schools as free as we can from these weapons and we will protect your children just as we would protect ours.
10. When we raise the minimum wage, we will pay you -- and your employees -- that new wage, too. When women are finally paid what men make, we will pay conservative women that wage, too.
11. We will respect your religious beliefs, even when you don't put those beliefs into practice. In fact, we will actively seek to promote your most radical religious beliefs ("Blessed are the poor," "Blessed are the peacemakers," "Love your enemies," "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God," and "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."). We will let people in other countries know that God doesn't just bless America, he blesses everyone. We will discourage religious intolerance and fanaticism -- starting with the fanaticism here at home, thus setting a good example for the rest of the world.
12. We will not tolerate politicians who are corrupt and who are bought and paid for by the rich. We will go after any elected leader who puts him or herself ahead of the people. And we promise you we will go after the corrupt politicians on our side FIRST. If we fail to do this, we need you to call us on it. Simply because we are in power does not give us the right to turn our heads the other way when our party goes astray. Please perform this important duty as the loyal opposition.
I promise all of the above to you because this is your country, too. You are every bit as American as we are. We are all in this together. We sink or swim as one. Thank you for your years of service to this country and for giving us the opportunity to see if we can make things a bit better for our 300 million fellow Americans -- and for the rest of the world.

I feel as if I should rename my blog 'Days Of Our Lives' or 'As The World Turns', all soap opera titles, because when I write about my family it always feels like I'm writing a soap opera episode.
My family has decided that this year they're going to hold an 'all family invited' Thanksgiving Day celebration at a hall in the city of Detroit. They've asked all adult family members to kick in $25 each to cover the rent on the hall, as well as sign up to bring food for the meal.
Every year that I can remember since I've been grown and on my own I've cooked Thanksgiving dinner. My best friend and her husband (and now kids) always came, plus assorted other friends, a few family members, and an excon or parolee or two that had nowhere else to spend the day.
I've always cooked a huge dinner. Turkey, mashed potatoes + gravy, dressing, etc., a traditional Thanksgiving feast, with an assortment of pies. It was my plan to do it again this year, until my best friend volunteered to cook. Be still my beating heart! Dinner without the work! So that's my plan for this year. Turkey with all the trimmings at her house.
As for my family, well, I kicked in the $25 to help them rent the hall. I'm not sending food down there because I'm not going to eat with them. But I will, more than likely, stop at the hall after I've had my dinner, stay for an hour or so, just to say hi.
One of my uncles is coming in from Minnesota, or maybe it's Michigan City, he moves around so much it's hard to remember where he lives. Despite the fact that he works as a welder and makes decent money, he's notoriously cheap. He won't kick in for the hall, he won't bring any food to the meal, and he'll stay with whatever family member will put him up so he can beat the cost of a motel. He'll also tell a made-up sob story to anyone who'll listen about how he brought x-amount of money with him but when he stopped at his grown son's house he emptied his wallet out to him because he needed money. The truth is, and it's always the same, my uncle will have hooked up with his old girlfriend Debbie in Detroit and he'll have squandered his money on crack and gambling with her at the Motor City Casino.
Now when he asks for help he always calls it a loan. Says he just needs about a hundred so he can get back home. But he never pays it back. And nobody ever calls him on it, they just complain about his ways.
The last time he hit me with his sob story I handed him a hundred dollars and a stamped self-addressed envelope. Told him it was a loan, not a gift, and I expected it back his first paycheck. He was pissed, but he sent it back, and he never asked me again.
I don't know about you but I don't mind helping people that are truly in need. But I'm not bankrolling trips to the crack dealer and the casino.
So like I said, if it's not too late when I get done with dinner, I'm heading over to the hall for a little while. It's in a particularly nasty area of Detroit so I'm hoping the parking lot is fenced in and guarded. And I'm hoping to get in and out before family members are too drunk, drugged out and disorderly.
The only thing that's going to be wierd about not cooking dinner at my house is--NO LEFTOVERS! But I can rectify that by cooking a small turkey or maybe a turkey breast, some dressing, whatever, a day or so later.
I'm looking forward to Turkey Day. Hope you are too.

Friends,
You did it! We did it! The impossible has happened: A majority of Americans have soundly and forcefully removed Bush's party from control of the House of Representatives. And, sometime today perhaps, we may learn that the same miracle has happened in the Senate. Whatever the outcome, the American people have made two things crystal clear: End this war, and stop Mr. Bush from doing any more damage to this country we love. That is what this election was about. Nothing else. Just that. And it's a message that has sent shock waves throughout Washington -- and a note of hope around this troubled world.
Now the real work begins. Unless we stay on top of these Democrats to do the right thing, they will do what they've always done: Screw it up. Big Time. They helped Bush start this war, and now they should make amends.
But let's take a day to rejoice and revel in a rare victory for our side -- the side that doesn't believe in unprovoked invasions of other countries. This is your day, my friends. You have worked hard for it. I can't tell you how proud I am to count all of you as part of the greater American mainstream we now occupy. Thank you for all the time you gave this week to get out the vote. Some of you have been at this since the large demonstrations of February 2003 when we tried to stop the war before it started. Only 10-20% of the country agreed with us at that time. Remember how lonely that was? Some people were even booed! Now, 60% of the country agrees with our position. They are us and we are them. What a nice, strange, hopeful feeling.
A woman, for the first time in our history, will be Speaker of the House. The attempt to ban all abortion in the conservative state of South Dakota was defeated. Laws to raise the minimum wage were passed. Democrats were elected to fill Tom DeLay's and Mark Foley's seats. Detroit's John Conyers, Jr. is going to be the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. The Democratic governor of Michigan beat the CEO from Amway. The little township next to where I live in Michigan voted Democratic for the first time since... ever. And on and on and on. The good news will continue throughout today. Let's enjoy it. Savor it. And use it to get Congress to finally listen to the majority.
If you want to do one thing today, send an email or a letter to both of your senators and your member of Congress and tell them, in no uncertain terms, what this election means: End the war -- and don't let George W. Bush get away with any more of his bright ideas.
Congratulations, again! Now let's go find a spine for the Dems to do the job we've sent them there to do.
Yours in victory (for once!),
Michael Moore

P.S. Thanks for all those photos you sent me of you with your brooms at your polling places. They're still coming in and we're posting them here throughout the day. And for those of you who asked how "Sicko" is coming along, the answer is: better than we ever expected! We're hard at work in the edit room and it will be in theaters in June. Thanks again, everyone, for your support.

Friends,
Tomorrow night, those who sent 2,800 of our soldiers to their deaths -- all because of a lie the president concocted -- will find out if America chooses to reward them -- or remove them.
As good as things look for the Democrats, do not pop the corks and start the partying yet. Do not believe for a second that the Republicans plan on losing. They will fight like dogs for the next 24 hours -- relentless, unforgiving, nonstop action to squeeze every last conservative voter out of the house on election day. While the rest of us go about our day today, tens of thousands of Republican volunteers are knocking on doors, making phone calls, and lining up rides to the polls. They're not sleeping, they're not eating, they're not even watching Fox News. A day without Fox News? That's right, that's how insanely dedicated they are.
But the reason they have to work so hard is that, before they can get the vote out, they first have to completely turn around the massive public opinion against them. Almost 60% disapprove of Bush. Over 60% are opposed to the war. Those are landslide numbers. And the American people are not going to turn pro-war or into Bush-lovers by tomorrow morning. So it should be easy for us, right?
Yup. Just like it was when we won the popular vote in 2000 and when we were ahead in the exit polls all day long in 2004. You know the deal -- the other side takes no prisoners. And just when it seems like things are going our way, the Republicans suddenly, mysteriously win the election.
Well, it's not really that mysterious. They're out there busting their asses this very minute, right down the street from you. What are YOU doing? You're on a computer reading my cranky letter! Stop reading this! We have only a few hours left to wrestle control of the Congress away from these "representatives" who, if returned, will continue shipping our young men and women over there to die.
Here's what I'm imploring you to do right now:
1. Go through your address book on your cell phone and computer and call/e-mail everyone you know. Tell them how much it would mean to you if they vote on Tuesday. If they don't know where to vote, help them find their polling place.
2. Contact MoveOn.org ASAP. They will connect you to the folks who need you to make calls.
3. Contact your local Democratic Party headquarters. There are close races in nearly every state. They'll put you to work -- on the ground or on the phones. Or go to the local HQ for the Dem candidate running for the House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate and say, "Put me to work!"
OK, turn off the computer -- and I will, too. There's serious work to do. The good news? There's more of us than there are of them. Let's prove that, once and for all.
Is there anything more important that you have to do today? Nothing less than the rest of the world is depending on us.
Yours,
Michael Moore

Remember me telling you about my cousin last month, the one that got shot?
Well, this morning his woman had their baby, a boy. That's her second child, both boys, both with my cousin. He's got so many kids with so many different women I have trouble getting the count right.
This baby's mama, she is something else, and I mean it in a really good way. I hate to have to put it like this but she is much too good for my cousin.
She's young, 22, to my cousin's 35. She's pretty and smart and has a heart as big as Texas. She stayed here at my house for a week a while back, her and her first baby, a sweet little guy of 13 monthes. You know how sometimes it's really awkward and uncomfortable to have house guests, especially when you don't know them very well? She was a pleasure to have around the house.
Her Mom came and got her about two weeks ago and took her back home. Home is out in the middle of the midwest, in corn country. I was sorry to see her go because she and the baby were so much fun to have around, but it's better for them, I do believe, to be back with her people and away from my no good cousin.
If I were a betting woman I would place a wager that she is going to raise her children to be fine people. Assets to this world. People we all will be proud to say we know. It's going to be hard work, raising children isn't easy, but if anyone can do it, she can. My money is on her.

Were you glued to the tube today overdosing on football games? I thought that might be why I didn't hear from you (smile).
The only tv I watched was at 10pm, HBO, The Wire. That show is so good!
Too bad HBO doesn't have a special channel where all they show are their own series, you know? They've got special HBO channels for everything else.
So who is your favorite character on the Wire? I like Omar. He played it so good that one episode a few weeks ago when he was in jail and the cop opened his door to let those two guys in. He didn't know who they were, he thought they'd come to kill him. He didn't pussy out and cry. He stood his ground, put his fists up and was ready to do battle to the end. When he realized his buddy sent them to help him you could see the relief all over his face. The actor who plays Omar should get an Emmy for that performance. He was great!

The last time I wrote something for the blog was a month ago. It seems to go like that for me. I write up a storm for a few monthes and then I fall silent. And as soon as something strikes my fancy, well, then I'm off and blogging again!
Are you receiving a lot of catalogs in the mail? I sure am. Everybody and their brother is pitching their wares for the December shopping rush.
One of the best I've received so far has been from The Wisconsin Cheeseman (www.wisconsincheeseman.com).
What I like about this catalog is they have a pretty good selection of beef sausages. All the other ones are pork pushers and since I don't eat pork, well, I never order from them.
So if you're looking for food gifts to send to your non-pork eating friends, this just may be the place for you. It looks promsing.
