Synopsis

FUNNY. OUTRAGEOUS. TRUE.

Have you ever wondered why some of the biggest problems we face, from illegal immigration to global warming to poverty never seem to get fixed? The reason is simple: the solutions just aren't very convenient. Fortunately, radio and television host Glenn Beck doesn't care much about convenience, he cares about common sense.

Take the issue of poverty, for example. Over the last forty years, America's ten poorest cities all had one simple thing in common, but self-serving politicians will never tell you what that is (or explain how easy it would be to change): Glenn Beck will. Global warming is another issue that's ripe with lies and distortion. How many times have you heard that carbon dioxide is responsible for huge natural disasters that have killed millions of people? The truth is, it's actually the other way around: as CO2 has increased, deaths from extreme weather have decreased. Bet you'll never see that in an Al Gore slideshow. An Inconvenient Book contains hundreds of these same 'why have I never heard that before?' type of facts that will leave you wondering how political correctness, special interests, and outright stupidity have gotten us so far away from the common sense solutions this country was built on.

As the host of a nationally syndicated radio program and a prime-time television show on CNN, Headline News, Glenn Beck combines a refreshing level of honesty with a biting sense of humor and a lot of research to find solutions that will open your eyes while entertaining you along the way.

I have not seen Glenn Beck on TV or listened to him on the radio, so I had no preconceived notions about him. This is a collection of 'essays' that range from a reply to Al Gore's global warming concerns to some trite stuff about letting teenage daughters go on dates. He's entertaining, but I'm glad no one has allowed him to have a position of responsibility in this country. For me, a conservative who is embarrassed by most of what Rush Limbaugh says, Beck's rants seem less hysterical and are much more enjoyable to listen to - even if you disagree with them.
