MIKEROCOSM

At last I figured out where the "Links" section was hiding in the controls and it magically appeared ! Moment of triumph. Hey kust, I hope you're satisfied - I sweat it out because you asked. :-)

This area will probably grow, maybe unreasonably even with all those vital Michael Moore links the world can't do without. But for starters, I'll keep it basic and sober. Mike is awareness and Mike is the people, so I'll begin with a sub-section devoted to local, personal and responsible politics and another for involved, artistic and great people whose sole flaw is to be unknown.

- THE UNOFFICIAL MICHAEL MOORE FORUMS is my own special place for local, personal and responsible hero worship and for diversely involved, artistic and great people (it's a forum). As I'm one of the Mods, I'll welcome you with arms open wide if you're pro-Moore. kusturica will if you're just yet another Moore bashing blockhead.

- NEWS FROM DAVISON, MICHIGAN is just what it says it is, the world as seen from Mike's birthplace, Davison, and by someone who's not particularly ashamed of him ;). Blogger Kevin McKague never runs out of interesting or colorful stuff, ranging from a poem made of Bushisms to questions like : "When does speech cross the line from constitutionally protected expression to criminal behavior?".

- BEING MICHAEL MOORE boasts the most beautifully ambitious name a site can have, and chief Admin robotboy_77 has no intention of pricing it cheaply. "This is a 'Left-Wing' community (in shorthand - it's for people with progressive values), and it's a community for people who like Michael Moore's work. If you don't fall into one of those categories, please remove yourself. Or sooner or later we're going to do it for you", he warns. Strangely, I never had the slightest problem with that guy...

- FAHRENHEIT 911 (AND A HALF) has been taking the country's pulse as revolving around the Moore revolution since the early days of the F9/11 phenomenon, and according to a refreshingly decidedly left-wing perspective. Although the articles are never published in full (which is a crying shame), this blog can be regarded as the F9/11 library. Now that's some compliment...

- kusturica was taken is where my friend kusturica strolls by when he feels poetic, or moody, or playful, or simply unanswerable. It's always surprising and full of curios, but the greatest attraction remains the author, whose understanding of things and people never fails to leave me abashed : deep in his heart, there's a house that can hold just about all of you. Meet him if you deserve it.

- INCENDIARY ADVICE, full of elegance, sincerity and passion, is where Anne, natural born queen and Pyrogirl extraordinaire, gives (all too rarely) her sharp and profound commentary of the current events. She's knowledgeable, thoughtful, lucid and honest, and her heart of gold shows through everything she writes. Hannah Arendt used to wonder how one could possibly "think the event". That's because Anne wasn't born yet.

- RASP MOVIE DATABASE may well be what you need if you think like me that IMDb sucks. Not only a great site for movie lovers, but it has details on music and... French comedians too ! rasp himself is some kind of a monk/missionary who teaches whatever he can, puts his duty before his pleasure and tirelessly keeps coming out with the same old important things, dealing with anti-French idiocy and rarely getting angry without blaming despicable behavior. Meet him even if you don't deserve it.
