An American Carol - fun with Mikey Moore and the Moonbats

Director David Zucker of Naked Gun and Airplane fame has delivered a delicious sendup of pigboat propagandist Michael Moore and his looney leftwing pals called An American Carol. The idea is that the porcine one wants to abolish July 4th and is visited by three spirits (ala Charles Dicken's Christmas Carol) to show him the error of his ways. It's opening Oct. 3 and looks like a blast:



It's nice that Zucker was able to find so many Americans in Hollywood. Grab some popcorn and get ready for the cries of leftoid angst.

Sounds like leftoid nirvana to me!

Mark Steyn points out that the Islamic terrorist doctors in the UK are a symptom of a bigger problem:

Some 40 percent of Britain's practicing doctors were trained overseas – and that percentage will increase, as older native doctors retire, and younger immigrant doctors take their place. According to the BBC, "Over two-thirds of doctors registering to practice in the UK in 2003 were from overseas – the vast majority from non-European countries." Five of the eight arrested are Arab Muslims, the other three Indian Muslims. Bilal Abdulla, the Wahhabi driver of the incendiary Jeep and a doctor at the Royal Alexandra Hospital near Glasgow, is one of over 2,000 Iraqi doctors working in Britain.

Many of these imported medical staff have never practiced in their own countries. As soon as they complete their training, they move to a Western world hungry for doctors to prop up their understaffed health systems: Dr. Abdulla got his medical qualification in Baghdad in 2004 and was practicing in Britain by 2006. His co-plotter, Mohammed Asha, a neurosurgeon, graduated in Jordan in 2004 and came to England the same year.

When the president talks about needing immigrants to do "the jobs Americans won't do," most of us assume he means seasonal fruit pickers and the maid who turns down your hotel bed and leaves the little chocolate on it. But in the United Kingdom the jobs Britons won't do has somehow come to encompass the medical profession.
...
So today the NHS is hungry for medical personnel from almost anywhere on the planet, so hungry that the government set up special fast-track immigration programs: Mohammed Asha, Mohammed Haneef and their comrades didn't even require a work permit to come and practice as doctors in state hospitals. You don't have to be the smartest jihadist in the cave to see that as an opportunity, any more than it required no great expertise for the 9/11 killers to figure that the quickest place to get the picture IDs with which they boarded the planes was through Virginia's "undocumented worker" network. Everyone else from the Venezuelan peasantry to the Russia mafia knows the vulnerabilities of Western immigration systems, so why not the jihadists?
...
But beyond that the Glasgow Jeep story symbolizes a more basic reality. The NHS is the biggest employer in Europe, and it's utterly dependent on imported staff such as Dr. Asha and Dr. Abdulla. In the West, we look on mass immigration as a testament to our generosity, to our multicultural bona fides. But it's not: A dependence on mass immigration is always a structural weakness and should be understood as such. In the socialized health systems of the Continent, aging, shrinking populations of native Europeans will spend their final years being cared for by young Muslim doctors and nurses.

It's a leftoid paradise fer sure! Who else could screw things up so massively that they have to willy nilly import Third World terrorists to be doctors?

There's bad news and good news

The bad news is that China overtakes US as world's biggest CO2 emitter. As you would expect, all the ecoweenies have their Third World loving knickers in a twist:

The surprising announcement will increase anxiety about China's growing role in driving manmade global warming and will pile pressure onto world politicians to agree [on] a new global agreement on climate change that includes the booming Chinese economy.

It's a pile all right. Speaking of which, the good news is that the USA is still ahead in production of methane (which is also a greenhouse gas) because we have Al Gore and Michael Moore. Thanks fellas, but stay downwind. Or go to China.

Help out lard brain Michael Moore

AndrewR gets in the spirit of the thing with Uh, Michael Moore, Uh, Wants To Hear, Uh, Like, Uh, About Your, Uh, Problems Getting, Uh, Health Care:

Dear Mr. Moore,

Three years ago I got my balls caught in my bike chain at an antiwar rally, and my subsequent health care experience was horrible right from beginning to end. To start, the paramedics were completely unprofessional. It took fifteen minutes to convince them that I wasn't a woman having my period. No matter how many times I told them that there's no law against men being members of Code Pink, they just kept trying to give me tampons and leaving to go help the people in the SUV we'd set on fire.

There's more hilarity by following the link, but speaking of Michael Moore and health care - I wonder how he's doing with the terminal flatulence?
