The Daily Show With Jon Stewart Presents

America (The Book)

A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction

 

A first edition printing, hardcover book, published in 2004, in gently used condition.

This book has a little shelf wear to cover, couple scratches, still looks great.  I'd list it as new but whenever I open a book and don't hear the cracking of a new spine, I must assume it has been read before.

If you're a fan of The Daily Show and/or John Stewart, you will love this book.  If you already have it, pick up this one for a friend and share the insanity!  Really one of the funniest book I've read in a long time.  With each turn of the page you will at least chuckle if not laugh so hard tears come to your eyes. 

Oozing with satire, this is a very clever book that is layed out like a school text book.

With this being a presidential election year, this actually would be a pretty cool gift and it is priced right. Originally sold in stores at $24.95

Synopsis
Pretty much the popular cable TV comedy show THE DAILY SHOW in handy book-length form, AMERICA (THE BOOK) loses none of the series' iconoclastic wit in translation. The program's sharply intelligent writing team deconstructs the United States' system of government in a series of chapters that expose the Supreme Court ("...nine feeble old people, up against Americans, the most litigious people on the planet..."), explains the role of the President ("King of Democracy"), and gives the media (ultimate goal: "...to raise the stock price of the media empire that owns them...") a good scourging; the rest of the world gets off somewhat more lightly, with a mere chapter devoted to what the writers dub the "International House of Horrors." Formatted as the kind of school textbook you'll realize you always wanted, AMERICA's humor isn't merely satirical, but, like the show that spawned it, frequently thought-provoking in its guilelessly witty representations of America's most cherished, and least understood, institutions. A comprehensive and in-depth examination of the American system of governance written by the kind of students who spent their time reading comic books inside their textbooks, AMERICA (THE BOOK) is an essential antidote to comprehending of the realities of modern democracy.

Publisher's Note
The host of the award-winning humorous news program offers tongue-in-cheek insight into American democracy with coverage of such topics as the republican qualities of ancient Rome, the antics of our nation's founders, and the ludicrous nature of today's media.

Industry reviews
"[T]he most ecumenical, evenhanded, and hilarious political satire since THE ONION'S OUR DUMB CENTURY."
Entertainment Weekly  (10/01/2004)

"Cheeky, irreverent and playfully ingenuous, this abbreviated history of democracy is everything one would expect from the writers of Comedy Central's fake news program....[T]his humorous sendup of American politics never fails to entertain, poke fun and provoke thought."
 (09/06/2004)
