The End of America

This was a fantastic read. Colbert's strong humor continued throughout the second half of the book. Overall, I highly recommend this book.

One great thing about the second half is that it goes into an absolute goldmine of things to poke fun of when it comes to republicns: science.

Stephen, of course, takes full opportunity of this. He  takes the time to write out an entire glossary of science, from his point of view. The glossary manages to hit practically every point he could about republicans and what they feel about science. For example: quote

At the end  of the book though, it takes slightly darker turn. At the end of the appendix, there is a transcription of Colbert's infamous 2006 speech at the White House correspondents dinner. There, you get to see it pointed out is not just mocking republicans for the sake of mocking republicans. Rather, he has a purpose,: to be able to convey a message about them. Considering how popular his show is, I'd say that he is a success.

Despite the fact that this book is the opinions of the fictional stephen colbert, these opions hold some merit. For example:

"Nation, we're at war. And we can't let gays gain any more ground on our American language." (107)

look at what this quote shows. Not only does it address republican's paranoid attention toward Homosexuality in america, but it stretches it to the illogical extreme, showing how they're taking over our language! It's this message that makes this a powerful book.

In conclusion,
