Book Description
A hilarious collection of lists, statistics, news items, quotations, and facts detailing stupid acts of Americans from all walks of life—by the authors of the bestselling The 776 Stupidest Things Ever Said Everyone knows that America is “the land of the free and the home of the brave,” but sometimes that means we’re free to be as bravely stupid as we want! In Unusually Stupid Americans, Kathryn Petras and Ross Petras assemble choice bits of stupidity, U.S.A.-style, including •the top seriously flawed American advertising moments, including Pacific Airlines’ brilliant “You’re scared of flying? So’s our pilot!” ad campaign, which led the airline to bankruptcy within two months of the campaign’s inception •the Martin Luther King, Jr., celebration in Florida, where a plaque was un-veiled that was intended to honor the actor James Earl Jones but instead read, “Thank you James Earl Ray for keeping the dream alive” (an unfortunate slip-up, as James Earl Ray was King’s assassin) •and much more!

Book Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER The three Great Premises of Idiot America: · Any theory is valid if it sells books, soaks up ratings, or otherwise moves units · Anything can be true if someone says it loudly enough · Fact is that which enough people believe. Truth is determined by how fervently they believe it With his trademark wit and insight, veteran journalist Charles Pierce delivers a gut-wrenching, side-splitting lament about the glorification of ignorance in the United States. Pierce asks how a country founded on intellectual curiosity has somehow deteriorated into a nation of simpletons more apt to vote for an American Idol contestant than a presidential candidate. But his thunderous denunciation is also a secret call to action, as he hopes that somehow, being intelligent will stop being a stigma, and that pinheads will once again be pitied, not celebrated. Erudite and razor-sharp, Idiot America is at once an invigorating history lesson, a cutting cultural critique, and a bullish appeal to our smarter selves.

Book Description
Since Eve, stupid people have existed and multiplied. Far too many stumble through life, fortunate that breathing is involuntary, with ignorance and without common sense. It is not surprising then, that they bring their brainless way of life to the voting arena. The American Voter: Stupid and Ignorant, takes an anecdotal, historical, and statistical look at how the voters, from Eisenhower to Obama, through the eyes of the professionals, and nonprofessionals, who have reported on this nonsense, have stumbled into a voting booth with only slightly more cognitive ability than a vegetable. God Bless America!

"So what's this book about anyway? Well, it's about baby animals, fun crafts, and delicious recipes. It's about using your imagination, learning stuff, and solving problems. It's also about science. And room decorating. It's got weird jokes and pictures of goats. Basically, it's totally random--just like you!"--Page [4] of cover.
