Product Description
After more than three centuries in print, The Onion remains the world’s most popular news source, making sense of the world for more than four million readers a week. Our Dumb Century, first published in 1999, was The Onion’s first bound volume, and now, in this exceptionally packaged deluxe edition, it will be the crowning pinnacle of your Onion book collection. From the dawning of what President McKinley dubbed the bold new “Coal Age” on January 1, 1900, to the Christian Right’s miraculous ascension to heaven on January 1, 2000, Our Dumb Century chronicles the events that shaped the twentieth century and preserves them for posterity.

 Perefect Gift for Intelligent Friends of Any Political POV! ( meselig )
God bless the Onion! Nothing and no one is sacred or left unscathed. I have given this to firends who are communists, democrats, republicans, evangelicals, etc. Anyone with a sense of humor and some knowledge of history will love this!

Fantastic coffee table reading!
This book is a great entertaining, yet somehow informative glimpse of the past. It's perfect for leaving on your table top and glancing when you have some free time. Highly recommended.

 Hard to read, Not really what I was expecting. ( jlove0411 )
While the actual text might be full of humor the book is set up as old style newsprint which makes it not a lot of fun to read. I had bought 'Our Dumb World' and loved it, but I'm not so in love with how this book was put together.

What would Jesus do? He would read this book.
If the title for my review offends you then don't read this book. If not then the humor found in this book will entertain you for hours. I suggest purchasing the paperback for bathroom reading and the hardcover for your classier guests.

Excellent Silliness ( grolgrexbooks )
The more you know and pay attention to the news the funnier this book will be to you. It not only skewers the news makers and their pomposity, but more importantly it shoots barbs at the news reporters who deserve it equally as much.
I like to read a couple of the articles at a time so that I can savor them.
Highly recommended.
