This book is an extension of that aim, and accomplishes it's purpose quite well. I have long been a fan of the Daily Show because, albeit in the guise of 'comedy', they are not afraid to engage in the kind of true and necessary journalism that the 'legitimate' media seems to have let fall by the wayside. It's unfortunate however, that in order to point out distressing truths about our 'great nation' the authors were forced to resort to humor. The "Were You Aware" margin notes were especially hilarious, as were the footnotes. The design is early elementary school textbook, which I found quite entertaining. The answer to that question is, "yes." I had to resort to an internet search more often than I care to admit, but I found that I learned more by being prompted by my ignorance of their point than I would have from reading a dry text book. Show More in this book is the truth, or a joke.
