Dear Michael,
Over the past few years I certainly heard a lot from you. Now you're going to hear a little from me.
Yesterday your website showed only a picture of Bush made up of smaller pictures of soldiers killed in Iraq. Today, your website the same Bush picture but with the names now as well. A brief message says your "first" thoughts are for those who were KIA. (I personally think your first thoughts were more likely anger directed at GWB followed by disappointment at JFK, but I may be wrong.) But I couldn't even navigate your site from the "front door" to browse through all your thoughts and comments leading up to the election. I had to google your name and some keywords to get in.
Why is that? I guess you have nothing to say (not that I'm complaining about that!) right now and/or you're backpedaling on what you said just a few days ago. You could have posted a message saying something like congratulations to GWB (
http://www.johnkerry.com/) or "the public has spoken, so let's all put the election behind us" but somehow I doubt you have it in you to say things like that. Venom and vitriol are more your speed.
But my main question is, what's your next step? Your "Slacker Uprising" failed, and you're likely too far out of the mainstream to be a viable political force. So what are you going to do with all your spare time and millions of dollars? Give it all to the poor? That would be a very noble thing to do, but somehow I doubt that it's going to happen.
Where do you go from here, Michael Moore?
How about Canada!

"Moore also praised Canada for its progressive social and economic policies."
"We love the Canadians. We all aspire to be more Canada-like. We want to live to see a day where everyone has health care, where you don't have to pay off a student loan for 10 years. That's Canada," Moore said.
I'm not so sure we "all" aspire to be more Canada-like. But you apparently do. Go ahead and go there. Don't let the door hit you on the way out. There are thousands of people at our borders trying to get in and your vacancy will no doubt be filled rather quickly by someone eager to enjoy the fruits of American citizenship. The USA has long been the destination for millions of hopeful emigrants and the stream is showing no sign of slowing down. We'll somehow manage without you.
Something tells me that you, Michael Moore, don't have the guts to move to Canada and give up your American citizenship. And that just further solidifies my opinion that you're just a blowhard.
Maybe I'm wrong. But I doubt it.
Why don't you emigrate to Canada. Seriously. You won't have to be a part of big, bad America any more and you can make lots of films up there (I hear Vancouver is becoming Hollywood North). I bet the Film Board of Canada will even help fund some of your "documentaries". As a bonus, the exchange rate is favorable to the American dollar, so

So take your cameras that you set up hoping to spot voter supression that didn't happen (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections20 ... 56,00.html) and your pre-election accusations of "steal"ing votes in Florida (http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/lates ... php?id=262) and head for the border. Please.
Some Canadians even have a preference for speaking French.

P.S. Michael, here's a tip: Claim "refugee" status (http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtm ... ID=6704292) and it will be easier to get a work permit in Canada. But please take Roseanne Barr, Janeane Garafalo, Rob Reiner, Ben Affleck, Alec Baldwin, Barbara Streisand and the other Hollywood/entertainment millionaires who know what's best for America with you when you go. Another tip I have for you is to be polite to the Canadian authorities. They don't let just *anyone* in, you know
