But is that really what we want? Can a nation composed of states that are <i>so</i> different possibly hang together?<br /> Colin Quinn, comedian, social commentator, and writer and star of <i>Red State Blue State</i> and <i>Unconstitutional</i>, calls us out state-by-state, from Connecticut to Hawaii. He identifies the hypocrisies inherent in what we <i>claim</i> to believe and what we actually <i>do</i>. Within a framework of big-picture thinking about systems of government—after all, how <i>would</i> 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, <i>Overstated</i> skewers us all: red, blue, and purple. It's ultimately infused with the same blend of optimism and practicality that sparked the U.S. into being.<br /> <b>A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press</b></p>. Humor (Nonfiction.)
