| Notes: | Subtitle: A Sort of History of the United States. Dave runs American history through the wringer, and comes up with some wonderfully warped formulations. (The Vikings, for example, "were extremely rugged individuals whose idea of a fun time was to sail over and set fire to England, which in those days was fairly easy to ignite because it had a very high level of thatch, this being the kind of roof favored by the local tribespeople ...") Covering pre-Columbian days through the dawn of the Bush administration, this book is the funniest thing to hit this great nation since the Smoot-Hawley Tariff of 1930. |
