Channel Surfing During March Madness

Switching back and forth between the KU-Georgia Tech game (won by G-Tech), I found myself mesmerized by a Michael Moore documentary shot during his national book tour for Downsize This! Random Threats From An Unarmed American. Moore has written books and produced/starred in several documentaries. I saw "Bowling For Columbine" and "Roger and Me" before that. I had never seen "The Big One." It is the best Michael Moore effort since his "TV Nation" series for NBC during the summer of 1994; "TV Nation's" best moment: sending a mariachi band to the Ku Klux Klan gathering in central Tennessee that summer. The Klansmen/women were stunned. Watch "The Big One." You won't be bored. If this is (fair & balanced) flackery, so be it.

The Big One
by Michael Moore

Another subversive journey from documentarian/provocateur Michael Moore poses this question: At a time when corporations are posting record profits, why are so many Americans still in danger of losing their jobs? Searching America's heartland, armed only with a camera, tons of sarcasm and a heartfelt sympathy for the American worker, Moore embarks on a one-man campaign to persuade Fortune 500 companies to reconsider their downsizing decisions.
