I finished Michael Moore's book Dude, Where's My Country? It was... okay. It seems like a rush job to get something out before the election, and feels like it needs a couple more drafts. It is written in a typical Moore style, which is antagonistic and slightly misleading. But, it does have lots of good material in it.

It is much like Fahrenheit 9/11. I wish that Moore would tone things down a bit, it would anger people less, and get the facts out to those who need to know. Instead, he overstates the impact of actions and extends some undo blame to the Bush Whitehouse. Not that they don't deserve much blame, but he goes too far. There is excellent material that doesn't get talked about, but it is hidden in hyperbole.

In the end, I paid $6 for the book in the Barnes and Noble bargain bin. I got my money's worth. I'm not sure I would have paid too much more.
