Michael Moore

2007-03-24T02:48:33Z

Peter Paulson:

'''Michael Moore''' (born April 23, 1954) is an [[Academy Award]] winning filmmaker and bestselling author who presents [[liberal|left wing]] views in a polemical way.

Before producing "Bowling for Columbine," Moore was the producer and host of the television series "The Awful Truth," which was typified by a type of sketch-comedy activism that was often directed against large corporations and government agencies.

He is well-known as a practicing Catholic who tithes 10% of his income to the Church, a [[socialist]] and a member of the [[National Rifle Association]] (although Moore has claimed that he joined this organization in order to make it support gun control). <ref>http://www.nationalreview.com/kopel/kopel040403.asp</ref> He has been an outspoken critic of the administration of President [[George W Bush]].

Some of his work includes the documentary films ''Farenheit 9/11'', ''Roger and Me'', and ''Bowling for Columbine'', and the books ''Dude, Where's my Country'', ''Downsize This! Random Threats from an Unarmed American''. and ''Stupid White Men''.

His production company which produces feature documentary films is Michael Moore Films [[http://www.michaelmoore.com/]]

Moore has been accused of using deceit to make his points, especially in ''Fahrenheit 9/11'', many of the claims of which a number of people have questioned. <ref>http://slate.msn.com/id/2102723/</ref>

Michael Moore was the subject of the 2004 documentaries '''Michael Moore Hates America'''<ref>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411646/</ref>, '''Fahrenhype 9/11'''<ref>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0427228/</ref> and the 2007 documentary '''Manufacturing Dissent'''<ref>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0961117/</ref>. He was also the subject of books include '''Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man''' by David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke<ref>http://www.amazon.com/Michael-Moore-Big-Stupid-White/dp/0060779608/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-2466588-5816760?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1174624100&sr=1-1</ref>, '''Forgive Us Our Spins: Michael Moore and the Future of the Left''' by Jesse Larner<ref>http://www.amazon.com/Forgive-Us-Our-Spins-Michael/dp/047179306X/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-2466588-5816760?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1174623950&sr=8-1</ref>.

Francis Bacon

Peter Paulson:

[[Image:Francis_Bacon.jpg|thumb|200px]]
A scientist during the [[Age of Exploration]] who lived from 1561 to 1626 and promoted research based on experimentation. He is said to have died as a result of an attempt to prove that a chicken would not become rotten if frozen. Bacon was, notoriously, a [[confirmed bachelor]] throughout his life. He was however, one of the strange bachelors. One who got married. As can be seen from the illustration, Bacon (like most men of his time) had a beard. Despite this, he was known to also wear a hat. The cut of smoked pork belly is said to owe its name to him.

Not to be confused with the 20th Century Anglo-Irish artist (1909-1992)<ref>http://www.andipamodern.com/WorksbyBACONFRANCIS.htm</ref> of the same name, although the artist Francis Bacon was what is known as a 'collateral descendant' of his earlier namesake.<ref>http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,875334,00.html</ref>
