What do George W. Bush, Wal-Mart, Halliburton, gangsta rap, and SUVs have in common? They're all among the hundred ways in which America is screwing up the world.

Dig into the rich cultural context supplied by the notes and photographs, or just laugh at the hundreds of jokes gathered at small-town...

As a joke, 7th president Andrew Jackson sent a...

Laugh out loud when you read letters like 'Foot in Mouth Disease," and 'Sometimes I Just Have to Laugh at Myself" when Kevin tells you about some of his most awkward moments. Hold onto your seat when he unloads on subjects like gun control, prayer in school, and evolution. No punches are...

Through La Cucaracha, creator Lalo Alcaraz makes blunt social commentary both hard-hitting and hilarious. The result is not just a pleasure, but also a craving.
