Journal Entry 1 by LeishaCamden from Alna bydel, Oslo fylke Norway on Thursday, December 13, 2007
From the front cover: 'Shocking, devastating, genuinely funny' Guardian New Edition with Sensational Author Interviews' From the back cover: ''Michael Moore is the sand in the underpants of the Bush administration' Observer 'Washington's No.1 pain in the jacksie ... Dude is a call to arms, a guide book on how to win the debate with right-wingers and generally a good laugh' Daily Mirror He's the man everyone's talking about. He's taken on gun freaks, stupid white men and corporate crooks. Now Michael Moore is on a new mission: to get us off our behinds and kicking out the corrupt political elites who rule our lives. Dude gives you the ammunition: why it's time for a regime change at Number Ten; the whoppers spun to wage war on Iraq and make a killing; the 'special relationship' between George of Arabia and the Bin Ladens; obscene tax breaks for the rich - and how Mike's going to get everybody together to get rid of Dubya. Not to mention how to stop terrorism (stop terrorizing Third World countries!!!), talk to your conservative brother-in-law and get non-voters voting. It's time to stop bitching, get reading - and get your country back. 'What Moore has to say needs saying again and again. Having read this book, I would even vote for him' Guardian 'Rich with facts, gags, self-deprecation and righteous indignation ... it will rouse readers here and in the US to timely revolt' Independent' This is a trade paperback copy from Penguin, published in 2004. The book was originally published in 2003. Another great read from Michael Moore. Very entertaining and deeply provocative. As I was reading, I often thought to myself, 'This can't be true' ... and it made me quite sad to realize that I was in fact only telling myself this and didn't really believe it. I think that Michael Moore is not always right, but that he is right far too much of the time. I'm so glad I'm not American ... I got this book at a flea market at Huseby elementary school in Oslo on Sunday, April 22nd, 2007.
