FW: The Movie the White House Doesn't Want You to See

So, after having received the following email from MoveOn.org, I decided it
was time to get off of their mailing list. I mean, really. "The Movie the
White House Doesn't Want You to See"? Could you guys be any more pathetic?

Dear MoveOn member,
On Memorial Day weekend, Hollywood is releasing a summer blockbuster movie
that's making the Bush administration very nervous. In fact, they'd rather
you didn't see it at all.

Why? Because it's a disaster movie about global warming.

While "The Day After Tomorrow" is more science fiction than science fact,
everyone will be talking about it -- and asking "Could it really happen?"
This is an unprecedented opportunity to talk to millions of Americans about
the real dangers of global warming and expose President Bush's foot-dragging
on the issue.

It's also a fun movie to see with friends over the holiday weekend.

So here's the plan: On Memorial Day weekend, grab a few friends and go see
"The Day After Tomorrow" -- the movie the White House doesn't want you to
see. At the theater, meet up with other MoveOn members to give out flyers
that explain, in everyday language, what causes global warming, how Bush's
environmental policies could lead us into a real-life climate crisis, and
what we can do together to meet this challenge.

climate crisis, at:

PS. IT'S. A. MOVIE. JURASSIC PARK was more science fiction than science
fact, but I don't recall a petition to get the White House to pay attention
to the possibility that frickin' dinosaurs could walk the earth again. Get
over yourselves.
