Buy This Book EXPOSED: The Left's biggest (and we do mean biggest) liar and hypocrite, Michael Moore Prepublication offer: books are en route from the publisher to our warehouse! Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man by David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke Oscar-winning filmmaker and bestselling author Michael Moore has made a king's fortune railing against the hypocrisy he epitomizes. In "documentaries" like Bowling for Columbine and the soon-to-be-released Fahrenheit 9/11, and in "nonfiction" books like Stupid White Men and Dude, Where's My Country?, Moore has proved himself over and over to be the most shamelessly dishonest -- if crudely effective -- propagandist since Joseph Goebbels and Nazi documentarian Leni Riefenstahl. Now, in Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man, David T. Hardy and Jason Clarke dish it back hard to the fervent prophet of the far left, turning a careful eye on Moore's use of doctored film footage, manipulated facts, and spliced speeches to tamper with the truth. "Postwar filmmakers gave us the documentary, Rob Reiner gave us the mockumentary, and Moore initiated a third genre, the crockumentary," write the authors. Drawing from the archives of their hugely popular websites MooreLies.com and MooreExposed.com, Hardy and Clarke intrepidly expose: · How Moore pulls off a "man of the people" image so at odds with his lifestyle as a fabulously wealthy Manhattanite · Moore's upper-middle-class origins: how this self-described son of factory workers from Flint, Michigan was anything but · Why Moore shows the greatest disdain for that which he actually is: "a very rich, pasty white American male" · Why Warner Brothers, the distributor of Moore's first film, Roger & Me, was forced to pay legal damages to a man portrayed by Moore in a false light · Why Moore's Oscar-winning anti-gun-rights documentary, Bowling for Columbine, is "as manipulative as totalitarian propaganda" · How, in Columbine, Moore made Charlton Heston -- once a leader of the civil rights movement, a personal friend of Martin Luther King, and a regular guest speaker for the Congress of Racial Equality -- come across as a gun-crazy racist, all by distorting the evidence and "creative" editing · Moore the Prophet: how he has fared in some of his high-profile predictions, such as his 2002 declaration that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il was about to have "a change of heart" · Reported in full: Moore's hateful and racist (anti-white) remarks while on a speaking tour in England just after 9/11 · The hilarious story behind Moore's grandstanding at the Academy Awards -- at which he was loudly booed, to his evident surprise · How Moore bends the truth to fit his predetermined thesis, creating a false impression for a wide audience that takes in his message · How Moore's career and public persona fit the textbooks definition of a Narcissistic Personality Disorder, pervading his works with a truly pathological combination of overwhelming egotism and self-loathing Loaded with the kind of accurate, honest reporting to which Moore is notoriously averse, and laced with the irreverent wit he only thinks he has, Michael Moore is a Big Fat Stupid White Man will have you asking: "Dude, where's your integrity?"

Buy This Book A runaway #1 bestseller about... punctuation? Believe it! And when you read this delightfully instructive gem, you'll see why! Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss A panda enters a cafe, orders and devours a sandwich, draws a pistol, fires a few shots and then heads for the door. "Why?" asks the bewildered waiter. The panda tosses him a badly punctuated wildlife manual and says: "I'm a panda. Look it up." The waiter reads the relevant entry: "Panda: Large black and white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves." Punctuation is an endangered species. We see signs every day for "Banana's" or reading "Video's sold here." Competition rules remind us: "The judges decision is final." What could be the harm in sloppy usage from time to time? Well, consider how the absence of a single comma can turn a reasonable request ("No dogs, please") into an unjust aspersion against an entire species ("No dogs please"); or how a simple colon, combined with a comma, can ignite sexual warfare: "A woman without her man is nothing" becomes "A woman: without her, man is nothing." To the rescue comes Lynne Truss, who uses her urbane, witty, and learned voice to advocate for the proper use of punctuation in Eats, Shoots and Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation. With the rallying cry of "Sticklers Unite!" Truss has won the devotion of hundreds of thousands of readers, who have made her book the publishing story of the year: a #1 bestseller not only in her native England, but in America too -- where it has topped the New York Times list for eight straight weeks (and counting)! Eats, Shoots and Leaves is a narrative history of punctuation from earlier days, when writers fought over the proper way to punctuate, to today, when sloppy e-mails and text messaging have become the norm. The book is full of bizarre true stories even copyeditors haven't heard before: From the invention of the question mark in the time of Charlemagne, to George Orwell shunning the semicolon, to New Yorker editors having gentlemanly disagreements over the proper placement of a comma, to errors in punctuation in current film titles and on neighborhood signs, Lynne Truss reveals them all. A few horrors that she has unearthed (with the poor apostrophe alone) include: · Lands' End (mail-order company that roundly denies anything is wrong with their name) · Prudential-were here to help you · Cyclist's Only (his only what?) In Lynne Truss's words, "If I did not believe that everyone is capable of understanding where an apostrophe goes, I would not be writing this book. There are already umpteen excellent punctuation guides on the market. The trouble with most of them is that they are read principally by keen foreigners." This lively history of punctuation makes a powerful case for the preservation of a system of printing conventions that is much too subtle to be mucked about with. "Wise and witty" -- George Will "Who would have thought a book about punctuation could cause such a sensation? Certainly not its modest if indignant author, who began her surprise hit motivated by 'horror' and 'despair' at the current state of British usage: ungrammatical signs ('BOB,S PETS'), headlines ('DEAD SONS PHOTOS MAY BE RELEASED') and band names ('Hear'Say') drove journalist and novelist Truss absolutely batty. But this spirited and wittily instructional little volume, which was a U.K. #1 bestseller, is not a grammar book, Truss insists; like a self-help volume, it 'gives you permission to love punctuation.' . . . Employing a chatty tone that ranges from pleasant rant to gentle lecture to bemused dismay, Truss dissects common errors that grammar mavens have long deplored (often, as she readily points out, in isolation) and makes elegant arguments for increased attention to punctuation correctness: 'without it there is no reliable way of communicating meaning.' Interspersing her lessons with bits of history (the apostrophe dates from the 16th century; the first semicolon appeared in 1494) and plenty of wit, Truss serves up delightful, unabashedly strict and sometimes snobby little book, with cheery Britishisms ('Lawks-a-mussy!') dotting pages that express a more international righteous indignation." -- Publishers Weekly Anyone can improve their writing and have an enjoyable read with Eats, Shoots and Leaves.
