Hoosiers for a Commonsense Health Plan will screen "Sicko" Thursday night at the Public House.

Earlier in the week, CM John Gonder previewed Thursday night's (April 3) film event at the Public House, and rather than write my own description, I’m taking the lazy way out and reprinting John’s in its entirety. Note that last summer, I mustered the energy to write about the movie: Moore's "Sicko" another must-watch.

Hoosiers for a Commonsense Health Plan will offer a free showing of Michael Moore's "Sicko" this Thursday at Rich O's Public House 3312 Plaza Drive.
The movie will be shown at 7:30 PM in the Prost room. Seating is limited, and is available on a first come, first served basis. It is suggested you arrive about 6:30.

Since the venue is being provided gratis by the proprietor of Rich O's, you can thank him by buying beer and pizza. Consider it your investment in bringing healthcare to the last major industrialized nation on earth lacking such a basic human right.

The group's purpose is to give political leaders the confidence that H.R. 676, a national single payer health plan, truly represents the will of the people. H.R. 676 is co-sponsored by Louisville's John Yarmuth and others but our representative, Baron Hill, has not signed on yet. You can help him find the strength. For more information about the single payer plan, check http://www.hchp.info/

Also, don't be fooled by last week's LEO. LEO's announcement of the movie said a showing of Roger Moore's "Sicko" would be shown. So far as I know, Roger Moore has retired, and Michael Moore as 007 just doesn't work for me.

Michael Moore as 007. Can't you see it! The movie begins with the usual theme music...a few explosions, and then 007, the last of the double-naught spies, comes to a screeching stop in a silver Hyundai. He steps out of the car in a tuxedo t-shirt, with a beer can in one hand, while holding a silver movie camera with a long lens on it in the other (instead of the gun with a silencer). Enough of this..sorry, couldn't resist.
