America Again
America Again: Re-becoming the Greatness We Never Weren't | Stephen Colbert
Book store nation, in the history of mankind there has never been a greater country than America. You could say we're the #1 nation at being the best at greatness. But as perfect as America is in every single way, America is broken! And we can't exchange it because we're 236 years past the 30-day return window. Look around--we don't make anything anymore, we've mortgaged our future to China, and the Apologist-in-Chief goes on world tours just to bow before foreign leaders. Worse, the L.A. Four Seasons Hotel doesn't even have a dedicated phone button for the Spa. You have to dial an extension! Where did we lose our way?! It's high time we restored America to the greatness it never lost! Luckily, AMERICA AGAIN will singlebookedly pull this country back from the brink. It features everything from chapters, to page numbers, to fonts. Covering subject's ranging from healthcare ("I shudder to think where we'd be without the wide variety of prescription drugs to treat our maladies, such as think-shuddering") to the economy ("Life is giving us lemons, and we're shipping them to the Chinese to make our lemon-flavored leadonade") to food ("Feel free to deep fry this book-it's a rich source of fiber"), Stephen gives America the dose of truth it needs to get back on track.

Mehso-so

It was a quick listen, and a good choice for fans of the Colbert Report. Unfortunately, I like the real Stephen Colbert much more than his alter ego. 😆

Used this to fill the #PublishedbyHachette prompt for #52bookclub24.

I love Colbert, but this was bad. Forced and tired jokes (maybe because it‘s an older book?) I laughed a few times, but mostly meh. #audiobook

theresidentromantic You're like the third person on Litsy this week to pan Colbert. 😫 Seems like his work doesn't really translate :( 7y

I got this from work yesterday - I usually don't listen to audiobooks but they're so great for car rides I'm really getting into them! This was funny - not great or amazing or anything, but funny.

America has faced hardships in the past but we have always mounted a comeback! We defeated the Nazis, the Native Americans, the environment, we even defeated the Metric System! Kilos? Sorry, that's drug talk. This is America! Where we eat fruit by the foot, not muesli by the meter.
