Finnish stuff is more pagan than both Bruce and Michael Moore. Despite the fact that we have some 25 parties in every election and usually some 9-11 get at least one seat in the congress after the elections, and we all love our village idiotes (especially if they get a seat in the congress, or maybe more if they don't) The minor secret is to have three major parties, 20-20-20 or 30-30-30%, the reason why any 4% village idiot is allowed and enjoyed (the three major parties can form a majority coalition with or without them, they know it, we know it, and we all enjoy them all) However, we are all worried about this 16 year young boy who got breast fed by his greenish mother, under her XXX-sized sweater, in the parliament. She claimes he is doing OK. However, she is worrying if always eating in the dark was bad for him, if he got stuck on that with those early parliamentary habits. On the other side of the spectra we have some former Miss FInlands,etc (no public announcments of their sillycone implants) plus one American Wrestling Champion, who got into some hormonal shooting accident, but managed to survive.

Cover story in Time _____________________________ The World According to Michael Taking aim at George W., a populist agitator makes noise, news and a new kind of political entertainment By RICHARD CORLISS Posted Sunday, July 4, 2004 "Was it all just a dream?" Michael Moore poses that question at the start of Fahrenheit 9/11, his docu-tragicomedy about the Bush Administration's actions before and after Sept. 11, 2001. Moore's tone isn't wistful; it's angry. He's steamed about the Florida vote wrangle of 2000, the Supreme Court decision to declare George W. Bush President of the United States, the policies of Bush's advisers and especially what he sees as the deflection of a quick, vigorous search-and-destroy mission against Osama bin Laden into an open-ended war on terrorism—"You can't declare war on a noun," Moore said last week—that spawned a dubious and costly invasion of Iraq. Now, after a week in which his film became the highest grossing documentary of all time— and more than that, a nationwide rally point for Bush opponents, a red flag for Bush supporters, a cinematic teach-in for the undecided and a potential factor in the '04 presidential race—Moore may well be asking, "Is this all a dream?" For starters, is this the same film that not long ago was an orphan? In May a controversy-averse Walt Disney Co. ordered its subsidiary Miramax Films to dump the movie. But just weeks later Fahrenheit 9/11 copped the Palme d'Or (first place) at the Cannes Film Festival and eventually found other distributors, an indie coalition of the willing. By that time, the picture's incendiary charges and Moore's reputation as a folksy firebrand of the left had already begun to ignite accusations that he had twisted facts to suit his politics. Faster than you can say, "That's the kind of publicity no amount of money can buy," Fahrenheit 9/11 had become a secular Passion of the Christ and the most hotly debated political film since Oliver Stone's JFK 13 years ago... time.com
