Glenn Beck's Inconvenient Book

I am currently reading "An Inconvenient Book" by Glenn Beck; acquired from the library, of course, since I would never buy this book.  I would never do anything that might provide Glenn Beck with even a penny's worth of income when I know that he is trying to sell a crock of sh**t to the unsuspecting.  He's selling his opinion which is based on "nothing".  Some have an opinion worth selling, but Glenn Beck, unfortunately, is not exceptionally bright.  It's clear that he does little research for anything he says. 

Some proof of this:  He has an entire book filled with what he calls facts -- he even has little charts and graphs (some of which he thinks are serious).  That would be great and informative if he had a bibliography to back any of it up!!!!!!  Not one reliable reference is quoted for anything he says in this book. I'm flabbergasted.

Mr Beck seems to think that he is the only person in the world capable of thinking.  I've got news for him; the rest of us think too.  The difference is that we educate ourselves from every side of an issue before opening our big mouths.  At least a large percentage of us do.  People please, read between what he thinks is funny stuff -- see the arrogant jerk who is the author of this "inconvenient" book. He's a ridiculous man with ridiculous opinions.

I am not finding the book particularly inconvenient.  Maybe I'm missing something about convenience or inconvenience? What I am finding inconvenient is my inability to sit back and keep my mouth shut when I see people buying his propaganda.

I'm not done reading the book so I will refrain from more detail until later.  I will have more to say on this subject.

One last thing on this post.  Mr Beck also seems to think that he is a comedian as well as everything else he thinks he is (which is substantial), but I find that his 16-year-old humor is misplaced in reference to his serious subject matter.
