'Darkness Falls'

Moore's latest hits bullseye

By Brian S. Armstrong
Staff Writer

Michael Moore's latest hit - Stupid White MenIn the latest offering from Michael Moore, 'Stupid White Men', he manages to pick on just about everybody using humor and investigative research. "Stupid White Men," of course, refers to the leaders of these United States.

Moore is known for his controversial TV shows and documentaries 'The Awful Truth' and 'Roger and Me.' This book follows the in-your-face journalism that has made him very unpopular among politicians.

With chapters entitled "Dear George," "Kill whitey," "Idiot nation," and "We're number one!" this book is sure to upset a few more political types. Despite this, the novel has been named to the New York Times best seller list.

With these kinds of titles readers are able to get a pretty good idea of what this book speaks of.

One of the main issues dealt with in this book is the election of 2001. The research and writing that Moore has done on this subject definitely raise questions. His in-depth investigating paints a clear picture of a Republican conspiracy.

In the first chapter, Moore calls for NATO to liberate the American people. "The thief-in-chief," as he refers to George W. Bush, has "taken power and was not voted in," Moore writes to NATO.

"We are under siege. We are the United States Government in Exile…send in the Marines. Launch the SCUD missiles… we need U.N. observers, U.N. troops, U.N. resolutions! We need Jimmy Carter!" he writes.

The ridiculing is not limited to only the current administration. The Democrats get their fair share of shaming.

Another chapter that deals with a hot topic is "Kill whitey." In this chapter Moore points out the hypocritical actions of the white people in this nation.

He says white Americans cover up their racism with things such as "diversity seminars," and "Equal opportunity employers" and phrases such as "using the 'N' word."

"Stupid White Men" is laced with helpful "clip and carry" sections that are intended to help people who aren't aware of the issues.

"Clip and carry" sections include: "Things the south was right about," "How to use less gas," "How to trick nature into making more men" and "Are you a potential school shooter?" among others.

This book is a satirical view of the politics that are leading this country and many other issues Americans have been forced to deal with. No one is safe in this book. It is an in-your-face piece of journalistic genius.
