First CNN, now comes the local media |

DaBlade's resistance effort against the Michael Moore signs at our city limits "gathers steam"...
Who says the mainstream media is biased? It was just over a week ago that CNN did the piece on Kevin's on-line petition for those in favor of Michael Moore signs. The report covered in great detail, Kevin's efforts. To show their balance, they did end the report with a vague suggestion to this website by stating, "Some in the town, there, having a bit of fun with this...a Web site -- of a local golf club."
Now comes The Davison Flagstaff, which ran a story detailing the efforts of the "Michael Moorons" pro-sign campaign. The following is an excerpt from this story...
Right there, did you catch that! "resistance of some." That's what I call equal time, ladies and gentlemen! While the CNN story resulted in "hundreds of hits" to Kevin's site, we have also had a few new entries in the Snapper Toon Caption Contest. Check them out.
Kevin McKague alerted me to the fact that our golf league was mentioned on CNN yesterday (not specifically, but we know who they were talking about!). During CNN's "Inside Politics" with Judy Woodruff this past Thursday, Jacki Schechner, CNN political blog reporter, and Abbi Tatton, CNN Political producer, were discussing Kevin McKague's online petition.
TRANSCRIPT
TATTON: And blogger Kevin MaCcay (ph) of Davison, Michigan, is taking matters into his own hands: if he can't get elected to the hall of fame in the high school, he wants signs at the city limits announcing that Michael Moore is from there. He's got an online petition here that you can sign, stating the signs should say, "Welcome to Davison, Hometown of Michael Moore."
Some in the town, there, having a bit of fun with this. This is the site -- not a blog, but a Web site -- of a local golf club. "Home of Ken Maro (ph)," says the sign, "1980 U.S.A. hockey team and slovenly film hack, Michael Moore." So, not everyone in that town loving Michael Moore so much as Kevin McCay there.
Back to you, Judy.
SCHECHNER: ..Now, how many people do you think is famous in Michael Moore's hometown of Davison (ph), Michigan? It's right outside of Flint, and you probably think there are not that many. Well, Davison High School has rejected Michael Moore for its hall of fame four years in a row, a little tidbit that we picked up, once again, over at wonkette.com.
END TRANSCRIPT
Yes, Judy, back to you indeed. If you are tired of Fox News kicking your ratings tail, then consider bringing Kevin and me into the CNN studio for a little "Point/Counterpoint".

From M. Night Shyamalan, the writer/director of The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, comes the story of the McKague family in Davison, Michigan. One morning they wake up to find a 500-foot crop circle in their backyard. Soon, crop circles begin to appear all over Genesee County.
The McKagues are told extraterrestrials are responsible for this sign in their field. They soon suspect, however, that Michael Moore and his voracious appetite is responsible for the massive amounts of missing area crops. Kevin McKague realizes too late that he is to blame for this beast being lured back to this area after his success in getting a tribute sign erected at the Davison city limits in MM's honor.
Pictured at right are the McKagues seeking help from DaBlade (Mel Gibson), to rid them of this horror. Kevin and Joy are pictured in this scene wearing aluminum foiled hats in hopes that the onslaught of MM's lies and propaganda will no longer hold sway over them.
Unfortunately in a later scene, MM mistakes them for giant chocolate kisses and eats them.
While DaBlade is too late in saving them, he does save the rest of the community when he learns of the beast's achilles heel. You will recall that the aliens in the original Signs movie were defeated with earth water. It only takes the addition of some liquid soap to fend off Moore and send him back to the bowels of deceit (Hollywood) from whence he came.
Lyrics above are from the one hit wonder band, Five Man Electrical Band, from 1971. "The sign said long haired freaky people need not apply," but it didn't say anything about America-hating propagandists.
Well, well, well! some of Michael Moore's minions have stumbled upon our Snapper golf page and seem to have taken umbrage with my treatment of their overstuffed icon. (Scroll down for the entire list of Caption Contest entries)
This is a decision between a husband and a wife. Period! Having Tom DeLay shake his moral, ethical finger at us is analogous to having a Hooker give a Sunday School Class on Morals. He's about to get indicted if you didn't know!
I'm sure you'll have fun at your next Militia Meeting you Moron!
PS: Just incase your not used to BIG words
Analogous / a-nal-o-gous (ú-nalú-gús) adj. Abbr. anal.
1. Similar or alike in such a way as to permit the drawing of an analogy.
The following is an e-mail from Kevin McKague, the Davison resident leading the cause to have a tribute sign installed for Michael Moore, and my response...
Mr. Carlson;
As for Mr. Eashoo and myself, we are Patriots, and grateful we live in a nation big enough and free enough for political disagreement and dissent. I can't speak for Mr. Eashoo of Mr. Moore on this matter, but I am a Christian as well. I haven't made any character attacks on you, and I have been hopeful that this campaign could remain polite. I would appreciate some reciprocation.
I find it ironic that those on the right call Michael Moore, or really anybody who disagrees with them, un-American, or un-patriotic. This nation was founded on the principal of freedom of speech, and I think that anybody who articulates his opinion in a non-violent way as well as Mr. Moore has is a patriot. He speaks out against the President when he believes that his use of the military is for unwise political reasons, and he does it out of concern for the men and women serving our country. This is a fine example of patriotism. I find it interesting that when he criticised President Clinton for his military intervention in Kosovo, nobody called him anti-American then. Plenty of conservatives did criticize President Clinton however, and they weren't called anti-American (and they weren't anti-American, either, I might add).
Kevin McKague
Moore St., Davison (yes, that's really my street name)
Kevin:
I am finding our repartee enjoyable, and hope you are as well. You and I can agree on being thankful for the wonderful freedoms we enjoy. Freedoms that were paid for in the blood of those who have gone before us, and yes, those around the globe at this very moment taking the fight to the terrorists so that we do not have to face them here. I do not disparage Moore, or anyone else their right to express themselves, nor your right to watch his movies. He has the right to be wrong, and so do you.
By all means, continue to meet in your Michael Moore Fan Clubs. Read his books and watch his movies. Just respect my desire not to be subjected to your Michael Moore tribute sign on M15, which I must traverse on a daily basis. I insist on not having to put up with this "second hand smoke" of a sign honoring this polarizing figure. Put it on the lawn in front of your house on Moore st., which I sincerely hope for your mental sake was a coincidence and not a condition for purchasing this realestate.
NOTE: If Ann Coulter was from Davison, I would not support a drive to have a tribute sign at our city border for the same reason (and I agree with many of her views).
The following are MM quotes from various sources. I'm sure you'll at least agree that Michael Moore does not share your desire to debate opinions without character attacks. You really need not read more than the first quote to be convinced that MM may not be the shining example of patriotism you espouse him to be.
You claim that you have the "facts" on your side, and cite his accomplishments. Hmmmm. I don't dispute that he is famous for his movies and that he enjoys a large following from other fellow social miscreants. However, fame alone should not be the overriding determinant as to whether a figure should be held in high regard (insert your choice of famous evil historical character). As for your request on examples of MM's lies, the resources of documented examples are too numerous to list, but easy for you to find if you are serious about vetting his opinions. I would start with every utterance ever escaping from his formidable pie hole.
Sincerely,
Jerry Carlson
Who's this Kevin Guy? He seems socialist; the kind who will deny they are "liberal" but will proudly proclaim that they are "progessive." Moore and his ilk are USA-hating, pro anti-western civilization, extremists who will do anything to destroy the American way of life. No, I did not see Moore's propaganda film of this past year. I did not want to put one cent in that anti-American's pocket.
Kevin needs to get in the real world, after he graduates school, before he makes judgements about public figures, including that despicable character the good folks in Davison are ashamed to admit having come from there.
Hey, Kevin, I'll give you & Moore a sign...a simple one understood across the globe. It's a simple hand gesture...no closed fists as you commies like to do.

Paris states they will accept any and all pro Moore and Jerry Lewis paraphenalia!
Tell me what you would like the sign to say, and I'll post it here. The winner will get his caption actually spray painted over Moore's tribute sign! (Please allow 24 hours for post)
On Michael Moore...
I must admit that I did not read this entire book by authors David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke, but what I did read, I thoroughly enjoyed. OK, it's true that I only read the book cover, but I seemed to get the gist. On this book cover, Hardy and Clarke explore and answer the question, "who is Michael Moore?" The prose is succinct and well organized, and tells it like it is. Don Hampson stated, "I read the cover slowly, as I really didn't want it to end." William Theault writes, "I couldn't put this book down until I had read the entire cover in one sitting!"
