Okay – that title is a misleading one. Sort of.

This entry should probably be called "I Am America and So Can You! – A Quick Review"

But as I read the book, I thought that Dharma, the RevSF bad boy, would love it!

Stephen Colbert, for those of you that don’t know, is the host of the Colbert Report (pronounced Colber Repor). On this Daily Show spin-off, he parodies the right wing media hosts like Bill O’Reilly and Rush Limbagh.

This book is a collection of his thoughts on things as varied as education to homosexuality. And just like on the show, it is bombastic, egotistical, over-the-top and contradictory. There were many times I found myself laughing out loud and then reading sections to the Husband Unit who would then also laugh out loud.

So where the tie in with Dharma, you ask? Well I couldn’t help but compare some of the statements about Canada and Mexicans to things on this site that have come out of Dharma’s keyboard. So similar. So funny. So patently outrageous and said just to get a rise out of some of us.

Read the book and tell me I’m wrong.
