Thanks for the heads up on this one, Will. Another sign of intelligence out there -- at least on the part of the good folks at Publishers Weekly, the trade publication of the book industry.
Political satirist Jon Stewart's mock look at a political science college textbook "America (the Book), a Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction," was named on Sunday the book of the year by Publishers Weekly, the trade publication of the book industry.
My favorite part of the article reporting the award is this:
"'America (The Book)' offers more than just humor, however. Beneath the eye-catching and at times goofy graphics, the dirty jokes and the playful ingenuousness shines a serious critique of the two-party system, the corporations that finance it and the 'spineless cowards in the press' who 'aggressively print allegation and rumor independent of accuracy or fairness."'
If you haven't bought the book yet, do so immediately. It's the Book of the Year, for crying out loud!
