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.

Review of 'America (the book)' on 'LibraryThing'

A fun silly book that captures the humor of the show quite accurately. It often pushes things slightly too far, but I think the show does that as well. On the other hand, isn't that part of the role of satire to push things too far?
