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 Roger & Me; B was the ill-fated TV Nation; and C is 1997's print skirmish Downsize This! Moore's politics are rabidly liberal, populist, and anti-big business--about what you'd expect from the former editor of Mother Jones. While this restricts his audience to Americans on the left side of the aisle, for them Downsize This! will be a chance to point and laugh hysterically (if ruefully) at the clique of rich white guys who run everything.

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 Downsize This! makes one wish he would write a "Sorry State of the Union" every year. But only if it doesn't cut into his moviemaking--that's too big a price to pay. --Michael Gerber.

"I bare witness to the American worker that feels the "fell clutch of circumstance," to quote Invictus, at or around forty years of age. I bare witness to the fact that despite past performance, college preparation, individual contribution, teamwork, no one is immune to the Leviathan called the global economy and its dictates to save on costs: the largest being employees and benefits. I bare witness to the human toll of NAFTA and CAFTA. These are not programs of one party or the other: these are programs that affect the many and enrich the few. If I were to smile and disappear like a "good Cheshire cat" ala "Alice in Wonderland," what has happened to me, what has happened to many, what is and will in the foreseeable future still happen, will not be paused on or new course considered unless a new report is given.".
