This is the funniest damn book I have read in a long time. It's by The Daily Show's jon Stewart and covers every facit of American government. It is set up like a mock textbook, and even has questions and class activities at the end of each chapter. Razz

A definate must-read. Go out and get it NOW. ^_^

I borrowed a copy from my school library and I "accidently" stole the poster in it.

I would like to read that book. So far, all I've heard about it, is that it has pictures of naked old people in it, with members of the senate's faces pasted on them.

I love "America"! Espeacially when it said, pg. 164 "Which classic example of photojournalism most gnaws at your soul?" Viet Cong Execution, Iraqi Prison Torture, Child Coal Workers, Scientists Astounded By Amazing Batboy!
I circled Batboy, of course.
