All right, for all you folks who claim I’m a flaming liberal– cue Ed Mcmahon: “How liberal are you?” I’m so liberal I actually owned MichaelMoore.com before Michael Moore did.
No, really.
I registered michaelmoore.com and tvnation.com back in August of 1995, just to prove how easily it could be done. I thought that it would have made a neat story for TV Nation at the time, as well as good publicity for HKS. Eventually, though, we handed the domain over to him with no fuss, no story, and no money changing hands.
So now you know.
And no, it wasn’t the only domain name either– I had dilbert.com, peanuts.com, and marvelcomics.com. And there are some other weird stories I should get around to telling at some time or another…
