Now with more than three million copies sold, Oscar-winning filmmaker and political activist Michael Moore's bestseller "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 and dad's cronies, 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. Whether he's calling for United Nations action to overthrow the Bush Family Junta, calling on African-Americans to place whites-only signs over the entrances of unfriendly businesses, or praying that Jesse Helms will get kissed by a man, "Stupid White Men" is Michael Moore's Manifesto on Malfeasance and Mediocrity. A hilarious must-read for anyone who wants to know what the con is and how 'they' get away with it, "Stupid White Men" is only available uncensored because public pressure forced the original publishers to publish a book they felt was too hot to handle. Now it's time to find out why. "A really great, hilarious, rollicking, fantastic read". ("Newsnight Review"). "Caustic, breakneck, tell-it-like-it-is...He's a genuine populist; a twenty-first-century pamphleteer". ("Observer"). "Furious and funny. A great book". ("Time Out"). "Hysterically funny. The angrier Moore gets, the funnier he gets. Sensational". ("San Francisco Chronicle"). Author of international bestsellers "Stupid White Men" and "Dude, Where's My Country", Michael Moore's 2002 film "Bowling for Columbine" won the Anniversary Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and the 2002 Academy Award for Best Documentary. His 2004 film "Fahrenheit 9-11" won the 2004 Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and is the highest-grossing documentary of all time. Released in 2007, Moore's documentary "Sicko", focused on the American healthcare system, was nominated for an Oscar.

2.0 A criticism of the Bush administration shortly after their election
Okay, I may not actually be writing this review (as I had done so a while back) but I am going over it again to try and correct some of the glaring spelling and gramatical errors (as I have been doing for most of my reviews – and I am getting quite close to finishing them off). Anyway, I am currentl...

4.0 Stupid White Men: ...and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation!
Rated solely on the basis of literary merit, (ignoring political loyalties), I think it not unfair to allow SWM to slide into four. Moore is no Marx or Rousseau, but certainly in this soundbite era, he explains his ideology forcefully and clearly. You may not agree with everything (or you might), bu...

4.0 Stupid White Men ...And Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation!
My evil little brother gave this to me. He's currently on Naomi Klein's No Logo and he recommended this to me - as better, he was right, it's more readable and gets you both laughing and feeling guilty about the fact that the laugh has irony attached. Also has a paen to Librarians in the intro. Why ...

Is it possible to rate a book as '0 stars'? If so, then this is a book that deserves such a rating. I read this book on the recommendation of a person whose name and relationship to me will remain confidential, but suffice to say in future I will do the opposite of what that person recommends.The on...

I read this book because I liked Fahrenheit 9/11, and because I share Moore's feelings towards George W. Bush. But the book proved to be highly speculative and unsatisfying, and left me suspecting Moore's genuinity, a feeling which was enhanced by watching the movies Bowling for Columbine and Sicko...
