| Michael Moore - Downsize This! English | 
| Amazon.com
Who says the left wing doesn't have a sense of humor? Maybe it doesn't, but documentarian Michael Moore sure does--Exhibit A was Roger & Me; B was the ill-fated TV Nation; and C is 1997's print skirmish Downsize This! Moore's politics are rabidly liberal, populist, and anti-big business--about what you'd expect from the former editor of Mother Jones. While this restricts his audience to Americans on the left side of the aisle, for them Downsize This! will be a chance to point and laugh hysterically (if ruefully) at the clique of rich white guys who run everything.
Moore is at his best as a prankster, whether it's trying to see if Pat Buchanan will take a campaign donation from the John Wayne Gacy Fan Club (yes) or whether he can have Bob Dornan committed to an insane asylum based on his bizarre behavior (no, but it was close). Moore is one of our sharpest satirists, and Downsize This! makes one wish he would write a "Sorry State of the Union" every year. But only if it doesn't cut into his moviemaking--that's too big a price to pay. --Michael Gerber
How about another political statement...
Looks like Bush read what Moore wrote in 1997:
(on the collapse of the Soviet Union and homebased terrorism)
So I ask you: Why hate ourselves when there are still more than 180 countries left to fight?
The solution is so simple, I can't believe anyone in Washington hasn't thought of it. All we need to do is pick one of the many countries that dot the globe and designate it as the official new Evil Empire. And as soon as we do that, we'll all be back to work!
I guess they thought of it in Washington...they just replaced "Evil Empire" with "Axis of Evil".
Anyway, get this book whether you agree with it or not!
Disclaimer: Yes, i know this is a political statement. And, no, this is not the official SR view!
