Little, Brown and Company, 2007
The GREATEST book ever written
+ A comic tour de force
+ Funny AND educational
Occasionally, a book comes along of such great importance that to not buy it--even if it means letting your kids go hungry for a couple nights--would be a crime.

I was sad to see this book end!
+ So far so good....
+ Funny book
This book is incredibly hilarious, if you "get" Stephen Colbert's type of humor. If you like his show, you'll love this book. His tongue-in-cheek, extreme rightwing pundit character is just as politically incorrect as ever, and just so so funny. Complete with his opinion everywhere, including in ...
