I'm currently working my way through Michael Moore's Dude, Where's My Country, which thankfully was released in a relatively inexpensive international version. (I've paid the equivalent of $40.00 for paperbacks that would cost $15.00 in the States.)

Anyway, I love reading Michael Moore because he basically states a lot of stuff I already know. This is nice because a) it makes me feel like less of a raving college graduate to hear someone else saying it (aka I'm Not The Only One!syndrome), b) it's nice to know that it's possible to maintain your liberal ideals decades after graduating college, c) it's nice to know that someone has a sense of humor about this bullshit, and d) it's really nice to know that while I may make the same complaints to my circle of friends, Michael Moore's doing it in a book that will reach millions.

So, as I said, I was already aware of a lot of what Moore is writing about. But some of it is like a fucking sock to the gut. Dead Peasants Insurance? Dead Peasants Insurance??? I knew disney was evil but Jesus H Fucking Christ... I was actually, physically breathless after reading that...

That will be all.
