Kate and I tried to watch Michael Moore’s new film, “Slacker Uprising,” last night. 10 minutes into the film we pressed the turn-off-the-movie-and-go-to-bed button on the remote. It isn’t that we don’t like Michael Moore films, “Fahrenheit 911″ and especially “Sicko” are brilliant and entertaining. It’s just that “Slacker Uprising” is basically a tribute video to Michael Moore’s 2004 pre-election campaigning…made by Michael Moore himself. Kind of reminiscent of, oh I don’t know, eccentric African dictators who awarded themselves medals of honor until their uniforms were so heavy they needed a Nepali Sherpa to help prop them up.

Did you know that Idi Amin, one of Africa’s (Uganda to be exact) most notorious dictators gave himself the official title, “His Excellency President for Life Field Marshal Al Hadji Dr. Idi Amin, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular.” Crazy!

Anyway don’t see this film unless you are such a Michael Moore freak that you have a tattoo similar to this Star Wars fan’s tattoo, except that it’s a series of Michael Moore head-shots with different ball-caps.
