Something Hypocritical This Way Comes



A fella's gotta work pretty hard to take on Michael Moore in the asshattery realm. Enter Ray Bradbury. He's mad at Moore over Fahrenheit 9/11 and its play on the title of his book Fahrenheit 451.



"He didn't ask my permission," Bradbury, 83, told The Associated Press on Friday. "That's not his novel, that's not his title, so he shouldn't have done it."



No doubt Mr. Bradbury got permission from William Shakespeare, Sara Teasdale, Voltaire, Walt Whitman, and the songwriters and screenwriters behind the film Animal Crackers before titling the works Something Wicked This Way Comes, "There Will Come Soft Rains," "The Best of All Possible Worlds," "I Sing the Body Electric!," and "Hello, I Must Be Going."
