Michael Moore calls for economic boycott of Georgia - Gov. Deal's office amused

[Ballygrl]

This was all over the news today.  The economic devastation wrought by this infamous boycott.  Georgians reduced to digging in the dirt for turnips to eat for dinner, shooting their last milk cow.  Breaking up furniture for fuel.  Children going without shoes, hiking 20 miles to school and 30 miles back.  It's terrible, and all beth can say is "lol."

I pay zero attention to M Moore, but I think there was a snippet of news I heard within the last few days...he pitched some kind of tantrum because his book wasn't doing that well?  Did anybody hear anything?

He posted something the other day about his book being out on Twitter but like others who follow him we don't pay attention to what he says and we just refute him.

NYT Bestseller list:  Currently he is No. 8.  Cheney's book is No. 3.   The Jackie O book is very popular, along with James Patterson's "Kill Me If You Can," which sounds like something I'd like.  All beating MM's tiresome tirade.

Kicking this up so that everyone can see the economic carnage wrought on my state by Lardass Supreme Moore: (short article)

A boycott of the state, called for by immigration advocates after Georgia passed a tough new immigration law earlier this year, is apparently not catching on.

But the newspaper says it could find only one group that will not hold a planned meeting in Georgia because of the new law, the Atlanta-based U.S. Human Rights Network, which usually holds its annual conference in Atlanta. That meeting is now scheduled this year for Los Angeles.

Speaking of Atlanta, how are the zombies?  The ones who repeat everything back to the guy on the bullhorn, with cult-like monotones?  Are they still hanging around?

Still there, but may be kicked out today.  They've been there for 10 days without a permit and have the sympathy of local politicians.  http://downtown.11alive.com/news/news/86384-occupy-atlanta-prepares-possible-park-eviction

I can't begin to count the ways that I'm glad I don't live in that city!

Boycott Savannah?

Good. Maybe the line at Paula Deen's will be shorter.

Damn that Moore. Ten hotel rooms, right down the crapper.

To be fair, if Moore had previously bought all his food from Georgia it would probably hit their economy badly...I'm sure he consumes an entire state's agricultural output.
