    As for Sheen’s role in New Moon, Sheen will play ‘Aro,’ the leader of an Italian vampire clan called the ‘Volturi.’ Director Chris Weitz told UK’s The Mail that “Michael’s role is so important because he’s the head of all vampires, Aro is, on the surface, a very gracious and friendly vampire, but beneath that he is a tremendous threat.”

    A Message From Micheal Moore – Senate to Middle Class: Drop Dead

    255388michael moore posters 150x150 A Message From Micheal Moore   Senate to Middle Class: Drop Dead

    Michael Moore

    Friends,

    They could have given the loan on the condition that the automakers start building only cars and mass transit that reduce our dependency on oil.

    They could have given the loan on the condition that the automakers build cars that reduce global warming.

    They could have given the loan on the condition that the automakers withdraw their many lawsuits against state governments in their attempts to not comply with our environmental laws.

    They could have given the loan on the condition that the management team which drove these once-great manufacturers into the ground resign and be replaced with a team who understands the transportation needs of the 21st century.

    Yes, they could have given the loan for any of these reasons because, in the end, to lose our manufacturing infrastructure and throw 3 million people out of work would be a catastrophe.

    But instead, the Senate said, we’ll give you the loan only if the factory workers take a $20 an hour cut in wages, pension and health care. That’s right. After giving BILLIONS to Wall Street hucksters and criminal investment bankers — billions with no strings attached and, as we have since learned, no oversight whatsoever — the Senate decided it is more important to break a union, more important to throw middle class wage earners into the ranks of the working poor than to prevent the total collapse of industrial America.
