I've removed two of the blurbs from Amazon, since separate research reveals they almost certainly have no connection to the book at all. Circeus (talk) 04:34, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Confusing Back Cover Quote

After looking over a hard copy of the book, I found a quote by John Stewart on the back cover reading "Finally, someone who's not afraid to say what people who don't think, actually think." The prominence of the quote, given in the style of the review blurbs often seen on back covers, confused me given the pejorative tone. As I'm sure publishers would notice an insulting quote during the editing process, that implies it was included purposefully, leaving the motives behind this book in question. To sum up, is Mr. Beck taking this book seriously? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.14.170.237 (talk) 21:54, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

First of all, keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a forum. Secondly, if you noticed, all of the blurbs on the back insult Glenn Beck, and I think that the entire book contains a good amount of satire, and the back cover is no exception. Cheers! Scapler (talk) 00:07, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

The book contains satire, but the contents of the book are intended to be serious. Beck puts mocking quotes on the back of most of his political books becuase they are amusing. This appears to be standard practice for him. 192.249.47.165 (talk) 20:20, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Explanation of Tony Sidaway's revert of an edit by 69.181.229.54

I've reverted this edit because it seems to be stating as a fact that there is no scientific consensus on global warming, which is contradicted by all available reliable sources. --TS 21:39, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for working with me on the reword. Cheers! Scapler (talk) 19:37, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
