And who has your 'Dead Peasant' policy?

As predictable as the sunrise they cannot help themselves.



Oh, that's witty, It never dawned on me that the guy is "fat", thanks so much for pointing that out. Never trust a guy who is fat...oh wait.

Meanwhile, in reality:

Finally, the Michael Moore documentary Capitalism: A Love Story expanded to almost 1,000 theaters, earning $1.5 million in cold, hard capital for seventh place.

It'll end up making about $4,000 a theatre, about $4 million over a weekend. Which is damned awesome for a documentary. Name one that's done as well that doesn't involve Michael Moore or Penguins? Good luck with that.

Meanwhile, in actual reality:

The heavily pushed 'American Carol' which was a parody of Moore opened last October to a brisk average of $750 a theatre.

Whatever.

UPDATE:

Oh wait, there's more:

Capitalism set a 2009 record for per-theater ticket sales last weekend. It went wide on Friday, and both the Hollywood Reporter and The Wrap indicate it did $1.5 million (not $1.3 million) for the night. The Wrap predicts it is "on pace for a $5 million weekend," while Nikki Finke pegs it at $5.5 million.

Sicko, released in 2007, is the fourth biggest grossing documentary of all time. In its first weekend of wide release it did $4.5 million.

Ironic that celebrating the failure of the marketplace occurs once again for the right-wing when it comes to y'know Capitalism.
