Michael Moore plans comedy festival in Michigan town

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) — Oscar winner Michael Moore has more big plans for his adopted northern Michigan hometown of Traverse City, where he’s already established a film festival.

Moore said Saturday that he and comedian Jeff Garlin, a star and executive producer of the HBO series “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” will organize the Traverse City Comedy Arts Festival. It will run over a weekend and feature movies, stand-up and sketch comedy and other entertainment. A date has not been chosen yet for next year’s kickoff.

I thought Michael Moore was a 24/7 comedy fest already.

Anyway, here’s one Moore’s funnier remarks:

“The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not “insurgents” or “terrorists” or “The Enemy.” They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow — and they will win.” –Michael Moore, April 14, 2004

Wait. Did Murdoc say “funnier”? He meant “unpatriotic”.

Oh, and “apparently quite wrong”.
