The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide With the incisive political commentary of "The Daily Show," this book examines America's birth as a nation and her current functioning as a democratic hegemon. "America" is formatted like a social studies textbook and is reminiscent of "School House Rock" only with a more cynical and irreverent tone. The content ranges from vaguely sarcastic to blatantly inappropriate, the humor fluctuating from intellectual to crude, but it will keep you smiling throughout. As you travel from America's hand in establishing democracy (America invented not only democracy but freedom, justice, and time-sharing), to the early years of our democracy, including the basis of policy in administrations such as Millard Fillmore's (Magical talking cats!), to the current state of our executive, legislative and judicial brancbes, asking what's under a Supreme Court justice's robe (Genitalia!), to finally taking a look at what the furture of democracy holds (Robots!), you will enjoy this satirical romp and maybe learn a thing or two. Maybe.
