Thanks to my brother-in-law, my wife and I spent an amazing day at an animal conservation where he works. We were able to get up close with many animals, but the best part was being able to pet not only a baby rhino and several adults, but we also got in a pen with and was able to pet two cheetas. I hope to have a few pictures on Flickr soon.

Book Description

Watching Michael Moore in action - passing off manipulating facts in Bowling for Columbine, spinning statistics in Stupid White Men and Dude, Where’s My Country?, shamelessly grandstanding at the Academy Awards, and epitomizing the hypocrisy he’s made a king’s fortune railing against - has spurred authors David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke to take action into their own hands. In Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man, Hardy and Clarke dish it back hard to the fervent prophet of the far left, turning a careful eye on Moore’s use of camera tricks and publicity ploys to present his own version of the truth.

Postwar documentarians gave us the documentary, Rob Reiner gave us the mockumentary, and Moore initiated a third genre, the crockumentary.

How, they ask, does Moore pull off a proletarian, “man-of-the-people” image so at odds with his lifestyle as a fabulously wealthy Manhattanite? And how large of an impact do his incendiary, ill-founded polemics have on the growing community that follows him with near-religious devotion? Loaded with well-researched, solidly reasoned arguments, and laced with irreverent wit, Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man fires back at one of the left’s biggest targets—politically and literally.

Everyone wants to stop. Never follow the masses. Stand up, be your own person… Im going to do it, just not today!
