RADICAL CONSERVATIVES--CLOSE OUT OF THIS PAGE NOW!
For this book was written by none other than esteemed film maker, Michael Moore.
With chapter titles like "Kill Whitey" and "Idiot Nation", Moore's tone is blatantly obvious from the start. The book opens with a small foreword by Moore in which he explains the year long battle he had to fight with his publishers to get this book on shelves. Ironically enough, the battle began on September 11th. Moore wrote Stupid White Men in the sheer DAYS leading up to the memorable attack. His book was scheduled to be on the shelves by the 11th. Needless to say, Moore's publishers weren't too keen on the idea of releasing a harsh political commentary of America right after such a horrible tragedy.
They told Moore to rewrite the book. He refused.
Because he stuck to his guns, we have one of the most successful nonfiction books in the past two decades. Days after 9/11, people were barging into bookstores hungry for some tough love. They got what they ordered.
The first chapter, A Very American Coup, is a play-by-play of the Bush vs. Gore election--and how America was cheated. From Florida's mistaken ineligibility list, to Florida's governor, one of the lead conspirators, relative Jeb Bush--Moore has the facts, and he spits them like venom to wake everyone up.
Beyond the startling first chapter, Moore never ceases to shock but also comfort as his sarcastic sense of humor fills the pages. With full chapters devoted to the sorry racism of white men, and the possible end of the male race, Stupid White Men is entertaining from beginning to end.
*Deep breath* Now on to...
Anyone that's been shopping with me knows that I'm obsessed. I counted in my head today and I think it comes out to about 25 American Apparel pieces in my wardrobe. That means that just about every outfit I put together has something from American Apparel thrown in.
But more specifically I wanted to write about a trend I finally picked up on this afternoon, harem pants. Looking at them, one usually wonders "Are they supposed to look like that?". So floppy, so saggy, so awesome. With the help of a girl working in the store, I tried on some comfortable, 90's reminiscent, black and white harem pants today.
Just a visual aid for those that haven't seen these before. Mine are exactly like this, except black and white.
They're extremely comfortable, extremely trendy, and I hope to see more this fall/winter.
Thanks for reading!
