  Stephen Colbert was The Daily Show's longest-running and most diverse correspondent. His personality, insight and general rightness led to The Colbert Report , a half-hour TV platform for his views on the issues of the day and, more importantly, why everyone else's views are just plain wrong. In I Am America (And So Can You!) Colbert bravely takes on the forces aligned to destroy America - whether they be terrorists, environmentalists, or brand breakfast cereals - and tackles difficult issues like religion, sexuality, and nature; 'I've never trusted the sea. What's it hiding under there?' With helpful illustrations and charts including 'Things That Are Trying to Turn Me Gay' and a complete transcript of Colbert's infamous speech at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Dinner, this is a hilarious read and a very clever commentary on America today.
