  <default_description>Who says the left wing doesn't have a sense of humor? Maybe it doesn't, but documentarian Michael Moore sure does--Exhibit A was &lt;I&gt;Roger &amp; Me&lt;/I&gt;; B was the ill-fated &lt;I&gt;TV Nation&lt;/I&gt;; and C is 1997's print skirmish &lt;I&gt;Downsize This!&lt;/I&gt; Moore's politics are rabidly liberal, populist, and anti-big business--about what you'd expect from the former editor of &lt;I&gt;Mother Jones&lt;/I&gt;. While this restricts his audience to Americans on the left side of the aisle, for them &lt;I&gt;Downsize This!&lt;/I&gt; will be a chance to point and laugh hysterically (if ruefully) at the clique of rich white guys who run everything.&lt;p&gt;Moore is at his best as a prankster, whether it's trying to see if Pat Buchanan will take a campaign donation from the John Wayne Gacy Fan Club (yes) or whether he can have Bob Dornan committed to an insane asylum based on his bizarre behavior (no, but it was close). Moore is one of our sharpest satirists, and &lt;I&gt;Downsize This!&lt;/I&gt; makes one wish he would write a &quot;Sorry State of the Union&quot; every year. But only if it doesn't cut into his moviemaking--that's too big a price to pay. &lt;I&gt;--Michael Gerber&lt;/I&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Okay, I admit it. I'm a big, fat, Michael Moore Fanboy. It feels good to get that off my chest. I generally agree with almost everything he tries to say in his films and books, but what I like most is how he frames the discussion. It's easy to become a pompous pundit blow-hard covering such topics, ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8044427">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is a gem.  Sure, I read it over 10 years ago, but it's one of those important books that everyone shold read and it really sticks!  This is a very early work of his, before he got all soapy and crazy.  It focuses on corporate crime and what big buasinesses are easily getting away with.  ]]></body>
