Mental Notes: March 2003

HONG KONG–Michael Moore at Oscars: “I’ve invited my fellow documentary nominees on stage with us here in solidarity with me because we like non-fiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man who’s sending us to war for fictitious reasons, whether it’s the fiction of duct tape or the fiction of orange alerts. … We have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. We are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you.” Necessary reading: thefirethistime.org | Howard’s future on line | Get Your War On (no. 22; “shock and awe”).
