A Bur Under the Saddle: Michael Moore in Texas (washingtonpost.com)

A Bur Under the Saddle: Michael Moore in Texas (washingtonpost.com): "In an interview Sunday, Moore said he had received several letters from residents who felt deprived. The opinion page editor of the Tribune-Herald in nearby Waco wrote a column offering to drape a bedsheet on a barn and show the movie if Moore would spring for the generator.
Moore's staff agreed to lend a print of the film to the Crawford Peace House, a hovel near the railroad tracks that an activist bought after raising the $6,000 down payment by selling 'No War in Iraq' buttons for $1 apiece. The Peace House, which promises 'a culturally diverse environment for spiritual growth' and is decorated with slogans like 'Question Consumption,' put out a red-and-white sign Saturday announcing a screening Wednesday at dusk. The suggested donation is $8.

What few if any people in town know is that Moore is coming along with the film and will introduce it and take questions afterward. He plans to send Bush an invitation to the Crawford premiere. "
