Can a nation composed of states that are so different possibly hang together? Quinn ... calls us out state-by-state, from Connecticut to Hawaii. He identifies the hypocrisies inherent in what we claim to believe and what we actually do. Within a framework of big-picture thinking about systems of government--after all, how would you put this country together if you started from scratch today?--to dead-on observations about the quirks and vibes of the citizens in each region, Overstated skewers us all: red, blue, and purple. It's ultimately infused with the same blend of optimism and practicality that sparked the United States into being."-- $c Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Americans $x Attitudes $y 21st century $v Humor. 650 0 $a Large type books. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 21st century $v Humor. 651 0 $a United States $x Social life and customs $y 21st century $v Humor. 651 0 $a United States $x Social life and customs $y 20th centiry $v Humor. 651 0 $a United States $x History $v Humor. 941 $a 1 945 $a lpt 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023653.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E8A475F0673211EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
