when i saw this book in the library bookcase for 50 cents, i had to grab it, 'cause i think michael moore is generally pretty entertaining. some people aren't sure whether he's the biggest conspiracy theorist in the world, or a danger to freedom, or perhaps just brave, big-mouthed and crazy, but i figure it doesn't much matter - a 50 cent book is a 50 cent book. he invites us to look (through his often skewed lens) at the scary path america is taking, because it's like looking at australia's future, and he's trying every way he can to discourage other nations from following america's every step (and sell a few hundred thousand books and dvds along the way... but listen to me - i sound a little cynical!)

here's a look at what the back cover blurb has to say:

"STUPID WHITE MEN tells you everything you need to know about how the great and the good screw us over. it reveals - among other things - how 'president' bush stole an election aided only by his brother, cousin, his dad's cronie's, electoral fraud and tame judges; how the rich stay rich while forcing the rest of us to live in economic fear; and how politicians have whored themselves to big business. not to mention providing fascinating details on just how stupid bush is, a convincing case for male obsolescence and a fabulous new use for whites only signs!"

i really enjoyed "stupid white men" in all its ranting, funny glory (although it's hard sometimes to work out what's supposed to be satire and what's just moore's incredibly biased opinion!) it doesn't take a lot to piss michael moore off - just a stolen election, and the wholesale destruction of individual freedoms - and he starts writing. i dread to think of australia's future if we're closely following down the american path...

i was going to pass this to grooble next, but she's read it, so i'm not sure what i'll do with this book. i wonder what the next reader will think of "stupid white men"?

Found this at the Crossing Zone at Billy Baxter's, Colonnades Shopping Centre, Saturday 11-Apr-09. A nice addition to my Julius Caesar Wrap - I nearly had to read Women's Day and we all know how many brain cells would have burst during that endeavour! Still in the process of reading it of course but so far, so good...
