Michael Moore is (so not) Cecile Dubois' idol
Brian Micklethwait (London)  Humour

Cecile Dubois begins a longish post here with a discussion of the fact that her classmates, teachers, etc., have now found out about her blog, and are all reading it. Where will that lead? Somewhere interesting, I feel sure. Her English teacher is reading all of it.

So what will her English teacher make of this, which comes at the end of the very same post? Here's Cecile taking a pin to the Great Blimp bimself:

… Michael Moore is my idol. His posters plaster my walls, and I'm dying to see his next film. I seriously like want peace in the world, and we should so elect him as president. Kerry is such a Nazi for me – we should kick his arse, man! We shouldn't have any enemies at all! I think we should instate Muslim traditions so another 911 doesn't happen, that way those funny people (heh heh) over there don't nuke us, and can freely migrate over here. Don't you just love France? I want to bring their culture here! I love America – but to make it even better, we should have more diversity! Let's celebrate the Palestinians – I'm going to dress up as a suicide bomber – it would fit me so cool. Don't I look sexy in that belt? I'm da bomb! (Tee hee!) Ah, Michael Moore. Amen to him. We shouldn't have guns. If a burglar comes in with one, I'll just roast him a pig and kiss him on the cheek – let him come in and steal my TV set – I so don't deserve it. We should also welcome the proletariat to power! We rich people are scum. Yo dude? Yeah, I'll meet you in front with your Mercedes Benz. OMG, did I say Mercedes Benz? Whoa! I meant electric car – gas kills! Peace out! …

What she should make of it is that Cecile must be encouraged to stick with the writing.

That's bloody hilarious. Thanks for the link.

Ah, just the thing to lift me from my pre-oil-crisis, pre Euro-election, mid-Big Brother gloom. The Michael Moore piece is one of the most densely packed bits of satire I've read for a long time.

Yes, Cecile, you're sane.

PS. Cecile's mother looks fabulous. If you haven't been to Brian's place to check out her photo, do it now! Excellent quote from Brian on Cecile's site, too.

Cecile's run in with the English teacher has me reflecting on one particular American Lit class, many years ago now, when I was defending my atheism to the whole class. How we got on the subject I don't recall, but the class turned into a debate on the subject and I was pretty much on my own. I remember getting some support from the soft "everyone is entitled to their opinion" sort, but by and the class (and the teacher- a member of the religious left) felt I was wrong. Wasn't exactly Mr. Popular, but such instances didn't endear me any more.
