Moore in his “Bowlers for O-Who” adventure last night drew at least 22-25 people from the Traverse City area. Watching the bowlers in the background, I saw an all too familiar (yeah it happens to me too) sight. A split, and though it was not a 7-10, it still.. was funny and easily distracted me from Moore’s insipid comments on McCain, Palin, and civilized people everywhere.
