Description
A hilarious, mega-bestseller from the Emmy-winning, Oscar-hosting, Daily Show-anchoring Jon Stewart that finally answers the question -- what is American democracy?Jon Stewart, host of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning The Daily Show, and his coterie of patriots deliver a hilarious look at American government . . . Termed a "political king-maker" by Newsweek, and "the Dan Rather of infotainment" by Vanity Fair, Jon Stewart, along with the writers of The Daily Show, combines his riotous wit and razor-sharp insight in this hilarious book. American-style democracy is the world's most beloved form of government, which explains why so many other nations are eager for us to impose it on them, but what is it exactly?In America (The Book), Jon Stewart and The Daily Show writing staff offer their insights into our unique system of government, dissecting its institutions, explaining its history and processes, and exploring the reasons why concepts like "One man, one vote," "Government by the people," and "Every vote counts" have become such popular urban myths.

This delicious book is even funnier than I had imagined. It's as big as my fifth grade geography book and a lot more interesting. Laid out like a textbook, the book is divided into chapters on democracy before America, the founding fathers, the presidency, congress, the judiciary, campaigns and elections, the media, the future of democracy and, lastly, the rest of the world. Each chapter has text, illustrations, multiple choice questions, discussions questions and classroom classroom activities.There are funny nuggets everywhere. ". . .if Betsy Ross were alive and sewing American flags today, she'd be a 13-year-old Laotian boy." There is also The Game of the Presidency" laid out like a monopoly board. And we learn how to break down a $2,000-a-plate fundraiser. My favorite chapter is the one on the media, captioned "Democracy's Valiant Vulgarians." Mr. Stewart and Company hang them all out to dry. "Were You Aware? Barbara Walters is not even trying. She is estimated to have given up in 1983." In the chapter on the future of democracy, "Four Score and Seven Years from Now," will you be aware that "The Social Security Administration granted retirees a monthly check, instead of just a coupon good for a free side salad at Denny's?" Finally, you won't want to miss the spread of the Supreme Court [they're the ones who handpicked the current occupant of the White White by a five to four vote along party lines] totally naked. We are to "restore" their dignity by cutting out their robes and covering their nakedness a la the cutouts. When you turn the page, the first nudie you see if Justice Scalia. I laughed out loud!There are literally dozens of hilarious drawings, photographs, quotations, riddles, fold-outs, etc. here to help get you through this election season. Enjoy! Enjoy!
