"Pizarro: Michael Moore rouses crowd at San Jose State"
[
San Jose State's Morris Dailey Auditorium was packed with so many lefties
Thursday night, it's a surprise Tower Hall wasn't tilting.

The reason was that provocative documentary filmmaker Michael Moore was inside
to receive the prestigious John Steinbeck Award from the Center for Steinbeck
Studies. The award is given to artists and activists who carry on the spirit of
the great author.

Moore was at times funny, poignant and angry during a conversation with Metro
Publisher Dan Pulcrano. Moore railed against corporations, but he did show a
soft spot for one Silicon Valley company. "I think Apple has been a force for
good," he said.

He didn't know at the time that Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak was in the
audience. Moore was aware, though, that conservative celebrity Sarah Palin was
sharing the city with him that day.

"I think Jesus sent her here on this day because Jesus has a sense of humor,"
Moore joked.

Thomas Steinbeck, who presented the "In the Souls of People" award to Moore,
predicted the filmmaker and his father would have gotten along well. He praised
Moore's courage in his work, too.

"Courage," he said, "is more important than anything else in the world if you
want to tell the truth."

"Auditorium was packed"

Palin only filled abut half her seatsg.

....Talk About Courage!

I don't recall seeing Michael Moore speaking at Baylor lately.
