This film, financed partly by Michael Moore's mortgaging of his home and partly by bingo games, was meant to be a personal statement over his anger not just at GM, but also the economic policies and social attitudes of the United States government which allows a corporation to remove the largest source of a town's income from that town. The film proved to be the most successful documentary in American history in its theatrical run (since surpassed at the box office by Moore's later documentaries Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit ...

For Bradbury, there is some blurring of categories, and the distinctions below are somewhat subjective, for he frequently has written multiple short stories about a set of characters or a subject, making minor edits or adding supplemental material, and calling the results a "novel". Although he is often described as a science fiction writer, Bradbury does not box himself into any particular categorization: "First of all, I don't write science fiction. I've only done one science fiction book and that's Fahrenheit 451, bas ...

Ashcroft is noted by his detractors for allegedly ordering that the partially nude statues of Liberty and Justice -- which stand in the Great Hall of the Justice Department, where he held press conferences -- be covered with blue curtains. Ashcroft denied these allegations. It has also been said that this action was taken because he felt that reporters were photographing him alongside the statues to make fun of his church's opposition to pornography. In late June 2005, Ashcroft's successor, Alberto Gonzales ...

Cinema of Korea - Directors. Recently rediscovered as the eccentric master of Korean cinema during the 1960s and 1970s, Kim Ki-young is now widely recognized as one of the leading postwar directors. His films show a wide spectrum of experimentation in film genre and style. His most notable films are psychological dramas that deal primarily with female characters. The prime example is The Housemaid (Ha-nyeo, 1960), which features a powerful femme fatale. In this signature work, Kim explores the anxious class tension throu ...

Karzai was born in Khandahar. As an ethnic Pashtun and member of the powerful Popalzay clan (from which many Afghan Kings have come), he came from a family that were among the strongest supporters of King Zahir Shah.

He took a postgraduate course in political science at Himachal University in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India from 1979 to 1983, then returned to work as a fund-raiser supporting anti-Soviet uprisings in Afghanistan during the rest of the 1980s. After the expulsion of Soviet forces, he served as a d ...

Moore's body of work has attracted a great deal of criticism and praise, especially after the release of his film Fahrenheit 9/11 in 2004. While it gathered generally favorable reviews from movie critics [7] and many awards, some opponents described the film as a deceptive and inaccurate portrayal of the U.S. government. Moore set up a rebuttal "war room" [8] to support the content in Fahrenheit 9/11 and counter criticisms [9]. Similar allegations of deceptive editing, staging or scripting scenes, or altering the original inten ...

The Emperor Penguin's breeding ground has some advantages. It is on pack ice that is solid year round, so that there is no danger of the ice becoming too soft to support the colony, or chicks falling into the water before they develop a waterproof coat. It is in a protected area, which shields the colony from winds that can reach 300 km/h. At the beginning of Antarctic summer, the breeding ground is only a few hundred meters away from the open water where the penguins can feed. However, by the end of summer, the breeding ground is ove ...

The members of the Electoral College formally voted on December 13, 2004. On January 6, 2005, when Congress met for the official counting of the electoral votes, Democratic Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones and Senator Barbara Boxer made an official objection to the counting of Ohio's electoral votes. As a result, the House and Senate separately debated the inclusion of Ohio's votes.
