As Jon Stewart tells it, he and his staff of 13 writers at The Daily Show  were looking for a project."Life was too balanced," he says with a straight face. "It was too good for us."They considered a "roads project, a civic improvement," but when they looked around their offices in Manhattan, "we mostly had computers."So they wrote a book.America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction (Warner, &#36;24.95) will be published Monday after nine months of checking a few facts and making up a lot more. (Related story: Daily Show is a no-stump zone)Just as his TV show on Comedy Central is a parody of a news show, the book is a graphic-heavy parody of a textbook. Chapters include "Congress: Quagmire of Freedom," "The Media: Democracy's Valiant Vulgarians" and "The Rest of the World: International House of Horrors."The foreword is by Thomas "TJ" Jefferson, who inquires in a postscript: "Is it true Halle Berry is once again single?"Stewart's favorite part?"I like the ending," which offers a Certificate of Completion, qualifying readers to "practice, participate in, or found a democracy."Too often, he says, "you finish a book and ask, 'What's in it for me beyond self-improvement?' Our book gives you a certificate in nation-building. ... If you just smash together the basic ideas, you're bound to wind up with something better than North Korea."Stewart wants to be known as a comedian, even though The Daily Show was voted best news show by TV critics this summer. He dismisses praise from journalists such as Eric Alterman, media critic for The Nation, who recently wrote that Daily Show offers "a truer picture than ... the Sunday-morning gabfests and cable food fights."Stewart, 41, says, "It's more a sign of frustration with the information people are receiving than a sign of our entrepreneurial spirit of journalism. ... It's a '(expletive) you' to real news, not a 'hallelujah' for our fake news."The book mocks both President Bush, "hurdling the lowered bar," and Democrat John Kerry, "monogrammed for greatness." But Stewart acknowledges that The Daily Show delivers more jokes at the expense of Republicans."They're in power," he says. "Comedians in biblical times did more Goliath jokes. The David stuff didn't fly."He says he worries less about being partisan than being boring, strident or redundant, "the death of comedy."Stewart's appearance at a booksellers' convention in June, which featured former president Bill Clinton, won rave reviews. Publishers Weekly said Stewart "out-Clintoned that other guy," prompting his publisher to boost the first printing of America from 500,000 copies to 700,000.
