An Inconvenient Dude

Navegando por Amazon.com me metí a ver los Hot New Releases y me encontré el libro del talk-show host Glenn Beck, el cual he de recalcar ¡no soporto!.

Confieso que en ocasiones dejo su programa Glenn Beck Program en Headline News -como una especie de harakiri- porque "¡no puedo creer lo que está diciendo!"; además que sus formas y sentido del humor son un tanto mamilas y sarcásticas.

Resulta que "An Inconvenient Book: Real Solutions to the World's Biggest Problems" está en el No. 8 de los Bestsellers de Amazon [Je ne comprend pas].

Aquí les dejo la reseña editorial que aparece en Amazon.com, que pinta bien cómo es Beck, uno de los talk-show host más famocishos en USA.

RECOMIENDO: Busquen en Youtube - "Mensaje de Glenn Beck al presidente Felipe Calderon" o VEANLO en este mismísimo blog (denleN' pa'bajo!) en el Rinconcito Youtubero.

From Publishers Weekly

In this appraisal of America's woes, conservative TV and talk-radio host Beck (The Real America) lays lighthearted siege to everything that makes the world worse. Political correctness is the biggest threat this nation faces today, he declares, as it makes us prey for Islamic fundamentalists, renders taboo the roots of our economic troubles (poor people are, in fact, lazy, he argues) and creates rampant distortion in the media.

Beck goes paragraph for paragraph with global-warming alarmist Al Gore, merrily slaughtering the sacred cows of the environmentalist crowd. Not sated by the hide of the former vice president, he goes after everything and everyone from poverty to perverts, offering solutions to these and other problems (e.g., the key to success in the capitalist system is to believe in it).

While often informative, as in his chapter on global warming, Beck is sometimes tedious, particularly when dealing with Islam and education (France is literally teetering on the edge, and our biggest ally, England, is about to be turned inside out as well).

He's at his best when most absurd, and funniest when he's his own target (the father of four is little more than a flesh-and-bone jungle gym). This should make a good read for conservatives. (Nov.)
