Flogging a Wet Horse: Flint, Michigan ain't a bad town. OK, it's not paradise. Crime is high in certain areas. It could be a little better off economically. But it's not like it's Gary, Indiana or something.

I have some minor connections to Flint. Miss Kate's relatives are originally from Flint (although I note most have fled). And, of course, The Legendary KK is originally from Flint. So it is important to remember that not everyone who is from Flint is grotesque and insufferable.

Just Michael Moore.

As it happens, KK has actually had a close encounter with the demon gasbag in the flesh. As she puts it:
Michael Moore is the backwoods cousin who rarely takes a shower and has eyes that are set just a little bit to far apart.

You think I'm kidding about the "rarely takes a shower" comment, don't you?

Trust me, I've sat WAY too close to that man in the movie theater before.
Wet horses smell better than he did...
There you have it.

The above comments came in comparing the horrendous Moore to another Flint-oid, Andrew Heller, "Flint's Golden Boy," who is a clever and funny journalist.
