Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore is getting some harsh words from foes over his new book, “Stupid White Men.” “The right wing nuts have put out a call to arms on their Web sites to jam the Amazon site with bad reviews of the book,” he alleges in a newsletter. Among the less-than-glowing reviews: “Unpatriotic, Marxist drivel written by a spoiled brat, baby boomer.” “Michael Moore cannot even compose sentances.” [sic] Nevertheless, “Stupid White Men” ranked No. 1 on Amazon on Monday. . . .
Here's the book:
Stupid White Men ...and Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation!
by Michael Moore

Here's what smart people are reading:
Marie Brenner, in Vanity Fair, March, 2002.
She's currently on C-SPAN. She's terrific. Recommends this book, currently #1 in Houston:
The Financier
by Theodore Dreiser
amazon.com
Ms. Brenner says that Ken Lay is like Dreiser's Financier, in that he always told 90% of the truth to everybody, but it was never the same 90%, nor did he ever tell anyone 100% of the truth. A lot of truth to that view, methinks.
