Glenn Beck versus Dan Brown…
Today is the day. The Lost Symbol, the much hyped and ballyhooed sequel to The Da Vinci Code is officially out. Dan Brown’s last book sold over 81 million copies. This one won’t. No way. Impossible. It should do well, though.
Some bookstores stayed open past midnight last night to be able to be the first ones to sell the book. I was waiting at the curb this morning. I expected an armored car to arrive with my copy of the book delivered by a phalanx of armed guards. I was hoping they would be Blackwater thugs - ( a guy can dream-ha!)….
The UPS truck pulled up at 9:01 this morning. (I have the best UPS driver on the planet).
There it was, my package from Brown’s publisher, Random House. That’s funny? It is too small? No way there is a book in there?!
I opened it. Yes, it was the new Dan Brown book (sort of). It was the new Dan Brown audiobook. Merde!~
Oh well, I’m half way through Arguing With Idiots - the latest book from Glenn Beck. I suppose I’ll finish it then listen to the Dan Brown….hopefully, the actual book will arrive today from FedEx….

Vick - only if this suggestion saves you time. I think you could hold “Arguing With Idiots” up to a mirror and let it finish itself.By JP
