Synopsis
Following the best-selling footsteps of Jon Stewart's AMERICA (THE BOOK) comes Stephen Colbert's absurdly patriotic and intentionally wrongheaded ode to America. He tackles the big topics plaguing our nation today: the dangers of Mother Nature, the ways you might become gay, the utter fraudulence of evolution and atheism, and those ridiculous things called books. Boldly ignoring truth and the oppression of the "fact-a-nistas," Colbert goes with his gut and finds the "truthiness" of the issues. Filled with lots of splendidly useless charts, figures, and illustrations, his infamously acidic speech at the 2006 White House Correspondent's Dinner, plus a bonus DVD, I AM AMERICA (AND SO CAN YOU) teaches you, the reader how to become America. As Colbert explained in an Entertainment Weekly interview, "I think Walt Whitman said it best in SONG OF MYSELF: 'What I assume, you shall assume.' And that's what you need to do. Read the book, be me. Hold my truths to be self-evident." As always, his jokes are hilarious, but Colbert's parody taps into the fiercely stupid reality of modern American politics and culture.
From the host of television's comedy-punditry show The Colbert Report, comes the book to fill the other 23 hours of your day. This book contains all of the opinions that Stephen doesn't have time to shoehorn into his nightly broadcast, his most deeply held knee-jerk beliefs on The American Family, Race, Religion, Sex, Sports, and many more topics, conveniently arranged in chapter form. Stephen addresses why Hollywood is destroying America by inches, why evolution is a fraud, and why the elderly should be harnessed to millstones. You may not agree with everything Stephen says, but at the very least, you'll understand that your differing opinion is wrong.--From publisher description.

) I have never watched Stephen Colbert's TV show because I don't watch TV. My teenage son was reading this book & laughing so I decided to pick it up. His first words were, "you will be offended". Not heeding his warning, I read it. This book is mostly for entertainment purposes and when looked at as such, one can laugh. As with all humor, there is some grain of truth and genius in a few of his observations of the American condition.
Thank you for voting. If your vote meets our Colbert = more than a man, less than a god.

I'm not going to lie, I don't read many books. This book however is one that you should definitely pick up for your collection. I really enjoy watching Stephen Colbert in action on The Colbert Report, but his show is only 30 minutes long each day. That brings about the question, "What do i do with the other 23 and a half hours of my day?" This book is a great alternative to watching his show. The book is basically The Colbert Report, but in text. For me, the best part of the book was the foot and side notes. They help to further provide insite into his deepest thoughts, and help illustrate his point from a comical perspective. In conclusion, if you enjoy stephen colbert even in the least bit, this book is worth purchasing.

The best ever!
Created: 25/02/08
) It's like watching his show for hours but funnier. This is a fun book to get to "know" him better. I can't get enough of his show and the Daily Show. I hope more Americans will read this book and most importantly, not vote for the republicans ever again.... I LOVE STEPHEN COLBERT!

Look over there it's America!!
Created: 04/01/08
) If you had to take only one book to America choose this one. I've read a lot of books in my life time good ones bad ones and stupid ones. This goes under two catagories excellent and maga-excellent one can't describe the kind of laughs you get from this book for his chapter on old people to the section on why certain animals are hated by god. This book should be at the top of every american must read list and if it isn't your probly a communist. So don't be a communist buy this book. Colbert for President!!

Very funny
Created: 10/02/08
) Stephen Colbert is funny. Period.
I would recommend this book to people who like comedy, people who like politics, people who don't like politics, people who like books, and people who should like books. Although not very lengthy, Colbert thoroughly chronicles his own life in a satirical and always hilarious way, from youth to senior citizenship. I can't wait until a follow-up book is released.
