I had no idea Transterrestrial’s Rand Simberg was from Flint, Michigan. Nor that confirmed pastry glutton and cheesefry connoisseur Michael Moore was not.

Well, ‘t seems Rand wants his hometown back.

Here’s a sample of Rand’s Moore-ish rebuffery*: questioning the assertion made on Moore’s fansite that ol’ Lumpypants “worked several jobs, including one at Buick, which he quit on his first day,” Rand writes:

How does one ‘work’ a job that one quits on the first day? This is a logical miracle achievable, apparently in some immaculate way, only by someone who is the offspring of ‘laborers.’

Good stuff.

*[Sorry for putting “Moore” and “buff” so close together, by the way. Now that it’s done, though, I feel better knowing there are others out there beside me suffering for having conjured that image — ed.]
