Fahrenheit 11/9
Last night Katie & Savanna and I went to the movies - to see Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 11/9. The name of the movie is an allusion to both 9/11 and Fahrenheit 451 and refers of course to the date of the election of Donald Trump. Moore doesn't pull any punches. He is very hard on Trump to say the least (e.g., in one sequence Hitler is addressing a rally of Germans but the voice and words are Trump's); but he is also hard on the Democratic Party (e.g., Bernie Sanders carried all 55 counties in the West Virginia Democratic Party Primary in 2016, but at the Democratic Convention the delegation cast a majority of votes for Hillary); on President Obama (for going to Flint, MI and making a point of drinking a glass of water to assure people it was ok when it wasn't); and esp. hard on the governor of Michigan, for the whole Flint debacle. Basic message - stand up and protest and for God's sake vote!
Savanna did very well - we wheeled her in easily and we had great seats. She is doing well!
