Jon Stewart, host of the hit Comedy Central show The Daily Show, takes readers on a madcap tour of American democracy.

With biting wit and an unflinching eye, Stewart skewers the very institutions that shape our national identity. But beneath the laughter lies a heartfelt plea: can we still believe in the promise of America?
