description: Remember when everything was looking up? When the government was running at a surplus, pollution was disappearing, peace was breaking out in the Middle East and Northern Ireland, and the Bridge to the Twenty-First Century was strung with high-speed Internet cable and paved with 401(k) gold?Well, so much for the future Michael Moore, the award-winning provocateur behind "Roger &amp; Me" and the bestseller "Downsize This!" now returns to size up the new century - and that big, ugly special interest group that's laying waste to the world as we know stupid white men. 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 Mike's Manifesto on Malfeasance and Mediocrity. Among his - George the Thief-in-Chief. A trespasser on Federal land, a squatter in the Oval Office. Send in the Marines!- Bill one of the best Republican presidents we've ever had.- The Idiot a friggin' stain on a blue dress. That's what captured our attention in the nineties - along with slow-moving Broncos, six-year-old strangled beauty queen, and Hugh Grant's dating habits.- Corporate there is no recession, my No downturn, no hard times. The rich are wallowing in loot - and now they want to make sure you don't come a-lookin' for your piece of the pie.The polls indicate that 60% of Americans are "upset or angry" about this land in which we now live - a land where crooked courts select the president and money rules the day. So if you're feeling the same way and you're wondering what's going to give out first - the economy, Dick Cheney's pacemaker, or your new VW Beetle - here's the book for you,
