Maniac Mikey Moriarty on RU486 (with the obligatory dig at Clinton)


RU486 or against it?

By Michael Moriarty

Well, I've just had to put Liberal Progressives on another planet called RU486. I've done time in the alcoholic rehabilitation tanks in psychiatric wards, and the schizophrenics, manic-depressives and catatonics I encountered there made more sense than anyone from Planet RU486.

This pyramid-shaped object in space, inhabited by a set of aliens originally called the Illuminati - now they're known as Liberal Progressives - first sighted in the 12th Century - these Intellectual Emperors sent us another alien propaganda film, the best so far, because the most honest, The Da Vinci Code. It was just space-shipped to us from RU486 and is being distributed out of the interplanetary foreign offices in Hollywood. The film had a so-so critical reception at Cannes, virtual temple of Liberal Progressives, and it even got panned by some of their own Liberal Progressive film critics - gotta hand it to 'em, they do have standards - and, well, it's all there, pretty much, the history of RU486.

France prayed for these aliens to descend upon us. The unprincipled French got on their knees, just outside the cathedrals they want converted to town halls for the Aliens of RU486, and prayed a "higher form of intelligence" down from space. RU486 responded immediately and sent a squadron, commanded by an alien named Robespierre. These alien "Revolutionaries" quickly cut off the head of the Catholic King, because he'd helped build all those pointless Cathedrals in the first place. Bad king! Certainly not any kind of royalty to be found on the planet RU486.

The Liberal Progressives know more about us than we know about them. They're like the Mormons. I hate to say it, but the Liberal Progressives have the Mormons beat hands down when it comes to faith - faith in the power of information, that is! Is Bill Gates a Liberal Progressive Albert Einstein? So, information-gathering is one of the spiritual exercises on RU486.

1. All that AND he's running for President in 2008 ...
with the "realist" party. He must be after the allusive "Fucktark voting block". :crazy:

3. Somehow I'm reminded of the hilarious "NOT INSANE!" campaign
courtesy of Firesign Theatre (though that certainly wouldn't apply to Mad Mike).

2. So when does Napoleon come back and kick the shit out of this guy?
I'd love to see a "wiff of Grapeshot" fired up his ass.

4. Oh, Michael.
I remember when he won an Oscar, a Tony, and an Emmy in the same year.

I remember being so mesmerized by the brilliant way he worked in rehearsal that when he called "line!" I had lost my place in the script and the director was furious.

And I remember sitting in a bar with him and all the other women in the play. The drinking didn't seem out of hand, then.

What a stinking, awful waste.

5. So is he missing

6. By now, no doubt about it.
But, oh, god, you should have see him in Long Day's Journey Into Night. And he was the best, the definitive Gentleman Caller in Glass Menagerie.

He had a spectacular talent. Now I occasionally see him doing bit parts on Canadian-made shows.

7. Well, he IS making progress of sorts...
He seems to be over his "Janet Reno is out to get me" hangup that, IIRC, is what led him to flee the states to begin with.
