Amazon.com
Stupid White Men, Michael Moore's screed against "Thief-in-Chief" George Bush's power elite, hit No. 1 at Amazon.com within days of publication. Why? It's as fulminating and crammed with infuriating facts as any right-wing bestseller, as irreverent as The Onion, and as noisily entertaining as a wrestling smackdown. Moore offers a more interesting critique of the 2000 election than Ralph Nader's Crashing the Party (he argued with Nader, his old boss, who sacked him), and he's serious when he advocates ousting Bush. But Moore's rage is outrageous, couched in shameless gags and madcap comedy: "Old white men wielding martinis and wearing dickies have occupied our nation's capital.... Launch the SCUD missiles! Bring us the head of Antonin Scalia!... We are no longer [able] to hold free and fair elections. We need U.N. observers, U.N. troops." Moore's ideas range from on-the-money (Arafat should beat Sharon with Gandhi's nonviolent shame tactics) to over-the-top: blacks should put inflatable white dolls in their cars so racist cops will think they're chauffeurs; the ever-more-Republicanesque Democratic Party should be sued for fraud; "no contributions toward advancing our civilization ever came out of the South [except Faulkner, Hellman, and R.J. Reynolds]," because it's too hot to think straight there; Korean dictator Kim Jong-il "has got to broaden himself beyond porn and John Wayne" by watching better movies, like Dude, Where's My Car? (which contains "all you need to know about America"). Whatever your politics, Stupid White Men should make you blow your stack. --Tim Appelo --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Laugh, But Learn, and Make Those Changes, February 19, 2002
By 	R. Hardy "Rob Hardy" (Columbus, Mississippi USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Stupid White Men ...and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation! (Hardcover)
_Stupid White Men_ by Michael Moore was supposed to be published in October, but the copies printed in September were going to be shredded, since the publisher thought that humorous attacks on President Bush and his partners would not be welcome after 9-11. There was a quiet campaign to get it to readers, and HarperCollins eventually did the right thing: it has released the book unchanged and uncensored, and Moore has said he admires the courage it showed in doing so. You don't have to be a fan of Moore's famous anti-corporate, anti-racist, and anti-conservative views to appreciate that this is a real victory.

You would be right to assume that "President" Bush (as Moore likes to call him) will not be pleased by the book. Some of the chapters now have sort of a quaint ring, like "A Very American Coup," which explains what really happened to give Florida to Bush in the last election. It's not a matter of chads or butterfly ballots. Bush's brother and his aids were able to purge the polls of black voters, who would have turned out for Gore. It took the BBC to uncover this story, and by the time the American papers got it, no one was very interested. There is plenty more sleaze to this tale, which Moore obviously enjoys telling, and if you want to check on what he claims, he gives references at the end of the book; there are few humor books with a "Notes and Sources" section. It may no longer be unpatriotic to poke fun at the current President, but Moore does not restrict himself to Bush bashing, being equally tough on Clinton and Gore. There are wonderful shots fired here, and a good laugh on almost every page. Bush's inaugural parade came up against protesters armed with eggs and tomatoes and "Hail to the Thief" signs at the point in the parade when the brand new President usually gets out and walks. "Then, suddenly, the President's car bolted and tore down the street. The decision had been made - hit the gas and get past this rabble as quickly as possible. The Secret Service agents running beside the limo were left behind, the car's tires splashing dirty rain from the street onto the men who were there to protect its passenger. It might have been the finest thing I have ever witnessed in Washington, D.C. - a pretender to the American throne forced to turn tail and run from thousands of American citizens armed only with the Truth and the ingredients of a decent omelet." A hilarious letter to President Arafat advises him to initiate mass nonviolent civil disobedience, rather than to keep drawing blood; if this advice had been taken, could the Palestinians be in any worse shape now? About the conflict in Northern Ireland, his advice takes on that of Swift's "Modest Proposal": "This nonsense has gone on long enough. I have a solution that will bring permanent peace to the area: Convert the Protestants of Northern Ireland to Catholicism....Naturally, most of the Protestants won't want to convert - but since when has that stopped the Catholic Church?... All you need is a little water to pour over any Protestant's forehead, and then repeat the following words: 'I baptize thee in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, Amen.' That's it! It takes longer to join Weight Watchers!"

It is going to get hard for Moore if things change to the way he wants, for he will have to make his humor out of less urgent and deadly matters. But he is pushing. "If you're finding yourself in a massive fit of rage and start itching to put this damn book down and call your congressman / woman, then folks, do it." He then gives easy access numbers and e-mail references, and it is hard to believe that some readers are not going to do just that. His calls for getting involved on school boards and within other branches of local governments are just what people should be hearing and acting on. If you want good laughs about serious provocation, and serious advocacy, this book is tops.

Stand up and fight for America and I will stand up with you, February 19, 2002
By 	D. Bakken "dobak" (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Stupid White Men ...and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation! (Hardcover)
Michael Moore has an uncanny knack for speaking up just when he is needed most.

Over the past year or so, I've read quite a few books about the stolen election, lack of media freedom, foreign relations, and plenty of books that have some liberal agenda to them (environment / bio-food / political repression of dissent). After reading all those books, I've sort of developed a defeatist attitude. Positive, progressive change looked so distant and remote that I only seemed to want to know more, but not do anything about it.

....

Many conservatives feel that liberals are weak and don't like to fight. These conservatives have obviously never been to a Michael Moore reading or a Ralph Nader rally. Democrats of the last few years have been silent, even though they are a majority. In violation of the old proverb "let sleeping dogs lie", Bush II and his far right policies have aroused us and we have begun fighting back.

Every chapter in this book attacks the policies of the last three presidents plus our current governor. To all you republicans reading this, his numero uno target happens to be Clinton. Imagine that, someone criticizing a member of his own political party. I think you republicans should try it once or twice.

In the chapter "Democrats, DOA," Moore indicts the democratic party for its rightward drift. He even rattles off a list of offenses that sound like Bush II but are Clinton policies and directives.

In "Idiot Nation," a chapter on the sad state of education and knowledge of foreign affairs in America, Moore takes on Bush's education policies and gives us a lesson in current heads of state around the globe.

The best chapter though has to be "We're Number One." In it Moore challenges our perceptions about the world and he offers funny yet serious insightful commentary on international current affairs. It also contains a wonderful open letter to Arafat asking him to stop the violence and adopt the tactics of Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr. and act nonviolently. He says that if Arafat and the militants will do this and Israel still keeps bombing and repressing them then the world will see the truth and the Palestinians will win. But if they keep bombing Israeli Jews, then (due to the understanding that Israel fears, rightfully so, that they are targets for elimination once again) he will have to stand with Israel.

I look forward to the book tour, it should be interesting.

Superb! Mike hits the bullseye once again., February 21, 2002
Reviewer: A reader
This review is from: Stupid White Men ...and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation! (Hardcover)
Just finished his new book and it was right on the mark. I have to hand it to Mike, he doesn't pull any punches. I'm a Republican who didn't vote for Bush and even I have to admit that Mr. Moore has guts to stand up to the PC crowd who try to shout down anyone who disagrees with the Bush/Cheney disastrous economic policies. Hooray for free speech!
