Sue gets ready to rumble

Man, it was cold! Sue’s sign says “Pre-emptive Peace” on the side you see here. On the other side, it says “Mike’s Militia, Athens, OH Branch” and “Remember the Librarian.” All day long, people stopped to ask her what that sign meant. It really seemed to arouse curiosity — especially from librarians, of course. Mike’s Militia When Michael Moore spoke in Athens last Fall, he asked the crowd to choose between two versions of his animated "History of the U.S." from "Bowling For Columbine" (which was still being edited). He thanked us in the credits of the film using the name we voted on that night: Mike’s Militia, Athens Branch. The One Librarian Moore’s book, "Stupid White Men” was due for release on September 12, 2001. After the 9-11 attack, the publishers decided not to release a book which was so anti-George W. They told him to rewrite it, and planned to “pulp” the whole warehousefull of 1st editions. When Moore told about this at a speaking engagement, one person in the crowd was a librarian. She was angry at the thought of this, and notified other librarians via an email list. Immediately, the publishers were swamped with emails from angry librarians all over the country. The changed their decision and released the book as-is. So one person can make a big difference.
