| Epigraph |
"It is true that we are called a democracy, for the administration is in the hands of the many and not the few."
-- Pericles  "Yes, Pericles, but have you gotten a load of the many?"
-- Socrates "Jefferson, you're on the two. Hamilton? You get the ten. I'm calling dibs on the one. That's all me, baby. What's that, Adams? You wanted the one? All right, that's it: You don't get to be on anything. That's right, I'm taking back the quarter. Anyone else want to complain? I didn't think so."
-- George Washington, 1789 "[expletive deleted]"
-- Richard M. Nixon "...the previous question shall be considered as ordered on the concurrent resolution and amendments thereto to final adoption without intervening motion except amendments offered by the chairman of the Committee on the Budget pursuant to section 305(a)(5) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 to achieve mathematical consistency. The concurrent resolution shall not be subject to a demand for division of the question of its adoption."
-- H. Res. 574 [Report No. 108 - 446] "Jesus, talk about a sausage-fest."
-- Sandra Day O'Connor, 1981 "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore." "...In the 2184 race, Neptune is looking like the critical swing planet."
-- The Judy Woodruff 9000™

| First words |
When America (The Book) first approached me about penning the foreword to their tome, I was surprised. (Foreword) It is often said that America "invented" democracy. | |
|
| Quotations |
Quipped a jubilant Hamilton, "The only way it could fail is if one party gained control of not just the Executive, but also the Senate and the House chambers and upon doing so, proceeded to bring in like-minded judges!!!!" And then the Framers all laughed and laughed and laughed. | |

Amazon.com Exclusives
 Featuring a foreword by Thomas Jefferson, a Dress the Supreme Court layout, and, oddly enough, a profile of George "The Iceman" Gervin, America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction, from Jon Stewart and the writers of the Emmy Award-winning The Daily Show, is by far one the most irreverent and wittiest (and may we add smartest) political book you're likely to encounter. Amazon.com spoke with Jon Stewart a few days before the 2004 publication of America (The Book) and they discussed bald eagles, magical talking cats, Thor Heyerdahl, and much more • Read the Amazon.com Interview with Jon Stewart • Listen to the Amazon.com Interview with Jon Stewart More from Jon Stewart
