Our Dumb Century: The Onion Presents 100 Years of Headlines from America's Finest News Source

Rating:
Summary: Must have for anyone who finds humor in history
Review: This is the stuff you didn't learn in the classroom. Several hundred pages of satire later, you gain a greater appriciation for the American dream. I feel that this work is a way for people to look back and say, "God, I can't believe that..." While it was of course written for humor, The Onion takes a surprising look at the Century, touching base on everything from the Industrial revolution, the dust bowl, Spanish Influenza, Man on the Moon, to the Clinton scandal of the late 1990's. THis makes Our Dumb Century a must read for any humorous history buff!

Review: How can you not laugh at most of the stuff in here. My favorite: "Joe Piscapo - Will His Star Ever Stop Rising?"

Always a funny read - and definately worth just having around for laughs.
