    I Am America

    Stephen Colbert · 2007

    Congratulations--just by looking at this webpage, you became 25% more patriotic.From Stephen Colbert, the host of television's highest-rated punditry show The Colbert Report, comes the book to fill the other 23¿ hours of your day. I Am America (And So Can You!) contains all of the opinions that Stephen doesn't have time to shoehorn into his nightly broadcast.Dictated directly into a microcassette recorder over a three-day weekend, this book contains Stephen's most deeply held knee-jerk beliefs on The American Family, Race, Religion, Sex, Sports, and many more topics, conveniently arranged in chapter form.Always controversial and outspoken, Stephen addresses why Hollywood is destroying America by inches, why evolution is a fraud, and why the elderly should be harnessed to millstones. You may not agree with everything Stephen says, but at the very least, you'll understand that your differing opinion is wrong.I Am America (And So Can You!) showcases Stephen Colbert at his most eloquent and impassioned. He is an unrelenting fighter for the soul of America, and in this book he fights the good fight for the traditional values that have served this country so well for so long.Please buy this book before you leave the store

      The syntax brought to mind Stephen Colbert's 2007 book, I Am America (And So Can You!)

      The title of this article ("Hacking Yourself Out of the Banking System and Live Only on BitCoins") reminds me of Colbert's "I am America and so can you". I expected to find title rage in the thread, but apparently grammarians sleep in.

      We gave it symmetrical gerunds.

      Edit: on second thought, "hacking yourself out of the banking system" is kind of baity and doesn't seem to add information, so we'll take that out.
