Mark this down on your calendars, tonight August 29, 2008, Michael Moore appeared as a guest on the Keith Olberman show on MSNBC.
Olberman, realizing that today is the third anniversary of Hurricane Catrina hitting New Orleans, asked Michale Moore for his thoughts about Hurricane Gustav possibly hitting the Gulf Coast on the start of the Republican Convention (Gustav is due to make landfall on Monday or Tuesday of this week).
Michale Moore said, "There is a God."
Olberman didn't bat an eye at this comment. Olberman didn't rebuke Moore for wanting a Hurricane to again hit the still devastated region of the Gulf Coast.
Later in the show, Olberman mocked McCain for saying that we are now winning the war in Iraq despite that country having over sixty some suicide bombings within the last month. Olberman mocked McCain for ignoring a loss of life and Olberman went on to equate this to McCain being out of touch with the reality in Iraq.
Olberman didn't rebuke Michael Moore for wanting God to direct Hurricane Gustav to hit the Gulf Coast region--a natural disaster that WOULD CASE A LOSS OF LIFE. Olberman was sitting right beside Michael Moore and kept his mouth shut. Yet, Olberman had the audacity to say that McCain actually thinks that deaths in Iraq equate to success. Olberman has gone mental, gone, gone, gone.

Today I was able to be home all day and spent most of it intentionally watching MSNBC. I knew the pick for VP was coming and wanted to see the whole thing from the liberal perspective.
I have never been more ashamed of General Electric and NBC News. I have placed an open sell order for all my shares in GE for Tuesday after the Holidy.
Throughout the day they kept posting "Under Investigation" on the screen with Palin pic and then at the bottom under "Breaking News" the posted as news a snide about the backyards and homes she owns. Is that "news" or commentary or can't MSNBC tell the difference.
Shameful. I expect that crap from people like Mathews and Olbermann but not the NBC news division. Sad.
The are killing the history and creditibility of the NBC news brand.
BTW, Moore and Olbermann make the perfect couple.
I think the divine connection is not what you say. Michael Moore might have reacted that way because many in our nation feel deeply wounded by the Bush administration's unloving behavior, and Moore did say he wishes for no harm to anyone. If the convergence of this hurricane with the GOP convention is a sign from above, it is not that one should be gleeful or wish harm on anyone. It would be that a message that we take better care of each other. I do not think that the U.S. government response to Katrina was adequate, or a sign that our administration was first and foremost acting as our brother's keeper. Endless war and torture and encroaching on the Constitution would be other signs that some in the government need to better learn a higher respect for life, and greater caring, and to be peacemakers rather than using brute force, along the lines that their religion teaches. But how far does a religious teaching go in this world if it is not REALLY lived? God bless you.
