Commenter Lacking Creativity works in a local bookstore, and informs us that Glenn Beck has a new book coming out. It's titled Arguing With Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government . The cover is at left. I don't know why Glenn Beck is dressed as a Nazi on the book cover, but if you can ignore the eerie, brown-shirted imagery, the cover is actually kind of adorable, like a three-year-old boy wearing his father's clothes. Slog tipper Marc also e-mailed me today, pointing out Beck's new Nazi look.

Lacking Creativity says: "I read the book description to my coworkers and they all wanted to punch me afterward." Here is part of the description:

Glenn Beck, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers An Inconvenient Book and Glenn Beck's Common Sense, has stumbled upon the secret formula to winning arguments against people with big mouths but small minds: knowing the facts.

And this book is full of them.
...
Idiots can't be identified through voting records, they can be found only by looking for people who hide behind stereotypes, embrace partisanship, and believe that bumper sticker slogans are a substitute for common sense. If you know someone who fits the bill, then Arguing with Idiots will help you silence them once and for all with the ultimate weapon: the truth.

Some days, being a bookseller is not an enjoyable job. Thanks to Lacking Creativity for sharing.
