Publisher's noteFUNNY.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 (see chapter 20). 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 slide show. An Inconvenient Book contains hundreds of these same "why have I never heard that before?" types of facts that will leave you wondering how political correctness, special interests, and outright stupidity have gotten us so far away from the commonsense solutions this country was built on. As the host of a nationally syndicated radio show, "The Glenn Beck 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. AnnotationConservative Mormon comedian and talk-show host Glenn Beck goes on a no-holds-barred assault, as the title might suggest, on Al Gore (a man he has compared to Hitler), environmentalism, and liberal sentiment in his bestselling AN INCONVENIENT BOOK. His political stances and "real solutions" are always controversial, but always presented in a lighthearted and hilarious manner--a right-wing equivalent of Jon Stewart. When he advocates clear cutting forests or eliminating the minimum wage some will be outraged, but his legion of fans will appreciate Beck's ability to cut the crap and speak his mind. Because for Beck, and for many of his readers, the biggest danger to America isn't global warming, it's political correctness. Funny if you share his point of view, and perhaps in a different kind of way, also if you don't.
