    <body><![CDATA[As a fellow alum of The College of William and Mary, I expected good things from Jon Stewart in this &quot;book&quot;.

It's a comical look at America's history and political setup, with just enough truth to make the message he's ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60111585">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If you love Jon Stewart, the Daily Show, Stephen Colbert and all of the correspondents/writers, while despising W, you will love this book.  A witty, sardonic look at history, the election and, of course, America, it made me laugh out loud.  Samantha Bee's sections on Canada were priceless.

    <body><![CDATA[I really like Jon Stewart, and I assumed that his book would be an extention of the show.  I was right and wrong.<br/>  &quot;America&quot; is written smartly in a textbook form, dredging up memories of school which adds to the quarkiness of the book.  And while are many good sections of the book-th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70812485">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A very funny, very profane satire of a history/ civics textbook written by the staff of the fake news show “The Daily Show.”  This is my favorite (and the only serious) part.  <br/>“A free and independent press is essential to the health of a functioning democracy.  It serves to inform the vo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77903422">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Number 1 coffee table book for sure! I lol'd at this book over and over, getting weird looks from people at work as I roared in the break room. I sincerely believe this could be used well as a teaching tool too for kids learning about sociology or history. If taught well, it would not only be more i...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39471517">more...</a>]]></body>
