I love this book. I got it as a gift and thought ? well this is gonna [stink] ? but then I read it cover to cover and realized that it ruled! Both funny and educational, it's the first book of patriotism I've ever seen that wasn't right wing. From Helen Keller To Howard Stern? Right on! I just put in an order for their first book Etiquette For Outlaws. Get it for yourself or for a friend.

Why We Rule lists the 101 reasons the USA Rocks! All this information is accurate, interesting and presented in a humorous and edgy fashion. My buddy who recommended it to me described it accurately. He called it a "class clown's history paper" And I give the class clowns an A!
Star-Spangled Fun!

Rob Cohen and David Wollock have taken the concept of patriotism and redefined it for a new generation. These guys aren't jingoistic nationalists (look it up). They're not claiming that everything our country does is sancto-sact. They're just celebrating what's hip about us. I had no idea we'd invented so much stuff - the pill, fortune cookies, deodorant - all things I couldn't do without. Honestly, this book made me laugh my a-- off, but it also made me feel pretty good about where I live and where I'm from. By the way, who's fine-looking derriere is that on p. 57? If it's one of the author's, I definitely want to meet him.

Imagine if your American history textbook had been written by your older brother and his chucklehead buddies. Now you've got a glimpse into the psudo-educational, unabashedly macho spirit of this irreverent flag-waving tome. This is patriotism at it's best, unfettered by any political agenda. Rob Cohen & David Wollock are keeping it real with musings on American classics from freedom to breast implants. This ain't your uncle's Uncle Sam.
