Michael Moore is back in Cannes, this time with anti-Bush film Fahrenheit 9/11, and he’s even angrier than when previously here with 2002’s Bowling for Columbine.

This latest film shows shocking footage of abuse similar to the photos that recently came to light. American soldiers put bags over the heads of Iraqis and ridicule them while posing for photos alongside them.

Moore claims that the American media have covered up such images. He’s incredulous at how easy it was for his team to get footage of Iraqis being mistreated.

“With our limited resources you have to ask why the American media, there every day, many networks with millions of dollars invested in this, haven’t shown that,” he says.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
