Ray Bradbury has pretty strong opinions about Michael Moore.

"Michael Moore is a screwed a--hole, that is what I think about that case," Bradbury said according to an English translation of the story. "He stole my title and changed the numbers without ever asking me for permission."

Continued the author: "[Moore] is a horrible human being – horrible human!"

When asked if he agrees with Moore's political positions, Bradbury replied, "That has nothing to do with it. He copied my title; that is what happened. That has nothing to do with my political opinions."

No doubt. Sort of like that scumbag who stole a line from Macbeth for his book.

I keep wondering what, exactly, the Bush administration is giving Bradbury, given how vocally he's been on their side in this and the Mars issue. It's frightening to me.

That's a truly remarkable piece of vitriol. Especially from someone as highly regarded as Bradbury. 'Stole' his title? a). It's a word and a number, b). it's evidence that his work has entered popular consciousness, alongside the aforementioned great (Shakespeare) from whom he himself (as you pointed out) pilfered a title (only, in Bradbury's case, verbatim).

Really, really poor form, in my opinion.
