    Michael Moore sued for lying? —David Laswell
   It seems that (URL) Moore played it a little too fast and loose in F-9/11>. A newspaper was shown on screen with "Latest Florida recount shows Al Gore won election" as its headline. The Pantagraph of Bloomington Illinois, which is the newspaper in (...) (20 years ago, 3-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
   
        Re: Michael Moore sued for lying? —Bruce Schlickbernd
     (...) This appeared the other day somewhere else (Los Angeles Times?). The really big difference was that they were reported as asking for $1 (note the significant lack of the word "million") in compensation for damages (a token amount so that they (...)

         Re: Michael Moore sued for lying? —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) This link (which I got to via: (URL) which I got to via a google search for Pantagraph and Moore ) would tell you, I bet. (URL) the first article down However it's wasn't worth 2.95 to *me* to find out. Perhaps it is to someone else. However (...) (20 years ago, 4-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

     (...) Er, PantAgraph. Where's St. Catharine when you need her, eh? (20 years ago, 4-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Michael Moore sued for lying? —David Koudys
     (...) I always thought a Catharine wheel was 8 sided, like a stopsign--I was told that those little 8 sided windows usually on the 2nd storey of small brick houses built in the 30's-40's were called 'Catharine windows'. Of course, all this is (...) (20 years ago, 4-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

      (...) I always thought a Catherine Wheel was a rock band; maybe it's just that I have been staring at the sun too long;-) JOHN (20 years ago, 4-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
    
         Re: Michael Moore sued for lying? —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) I didn't give a good enough hint with the "eh", I guess. This obscure reference was to rtlT's discussion about St. Catharines (town name) vs. St. Catherines (incorrectly spelled town name)... not to any torture devices, fireworks, windows, or (...)

         Re: Michael Moore sued for lying? —David Koudys
     (...) Oh I caught the rtlT topic relation, and I especially liked the 'eh' bit 'cause, well, I am Canadian and I like the 'eh', eh. But I just wanted to clarify for my faulty recollection that a Catharine wheel/window was 8 sided instead of 5. Dave (...) (20 years ago, 4-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

         Re: Michael Moore sued for lying? —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) eh? What's *5* got to do with it? The name of the paper is pAntagraph, not pEntagraph (personally I'd love to publish a paper so titled in, say, Holland, MI to get the mundanes all uptight, but I digress) or pantOgraph, which was my original (...)

         Re: Michael Moore sued for lying? —David Laswell
     (...) I'd ask what a pentagraph has to do with either a pentacle or a pentagram...but I live in Holland, and I know how stupid some of the locals can be about such things. They did chase an Oscar-winning Dutch film out of town, after all. What (...) (20 years ago, 4-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Michael Moore sued for lying? —Miguel Agullo
   Hmmmm ... it is probably NOT a good idea to get into this at this place. I am not a huge moore fan, and I can certainly understand how he can come accross as extremly annoying. But your post has left me wondering and, with all the due respect that a (...) (20 years ago, 6-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
