RULE NUMBER ONE IS: DON’T TEASE THE PANTHER
Speaking of Glenn Beck, he’s written a political thriller, you know.
You’d think I’d be upset about the idea that Beck can get a book deal and I can’t. But I’m not. Beck is publishable because he’s a brand name with a large following. So in purely business terms, I get that.
Besides, it’s not as though he actually wrote it. (Let’s put it this way: if you’ve read Circumference Of Darkness by Jack Henderson, odds are you’ve basically read the left-wing version of The Overton Window.)
Anyway, Media Matters has as good a breakdown of the book as you’ll find anywhere else.
WARNING: The above link contains plot spoilers. Though I suspect that won’t be an issue for some of you.
In the interest of fairness, Beck explains what the Overton Window is here.
Ripped from today’s headlines,
This is dF
