xxiii, 296 p. : col. ill., col. maps ; 24 cm. Have you ever wondered why some of the biggest problems plaguing America 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. With refreshing honesty, over-the-top humor, a ton of research, and not an ounce of polictical correctness, Glenn Beck takes on everything from global warming (all the stuff you'll never see in an Al Gore slide show. ) to terrorism (Radical Islamists say the darndest things!) from illegal immigration(MexAmeriCanada: It's not all bad!) to the great Circle of Life (marriage, porn, adultery, divorce).....and so much more. His eye-opening, "why have I never heard that before?" facts and priceless observations will leave you wondering how politcal pandering, special interests, and outright stupidity have led us so far astray!

The politics of correctness -- Gratuities: I've reached my tipping point -- Child molesters: A fiery solution -- The UN: Truth, justice, and the anti-American way -- How to remember names, by Glenn-something or other -- Minimum wage, maximum politics -- Aging: God's system of depreciation -- Opinion polls: Our country's real leader -- Poverty Prozac -- Parenting: The case for abstinence -- Illegal Immigration: Behind the lies. written and edited by Glenn Beck, Kevin Balfe ; writers Steve "Stu" Burguiere ...
