I started Banterist in 2003 after this conversation with my cat. It led to all sorts of good things.

Please tell me that one of the chapters is titled “You Know that I Was Only on Glenn’s Show to Pay for Your College Education, Right?”
Glenn Beck is a douchebag.
I’ve never watched Glenn Beck before – good to know I’m not missing anything. That guy seems like a douche.
I did like the witty banter however, though I must say, Glenn’s was more half-witty than anything.
Good interview (well, on your part).
I did not know the book was a paperback, or that thin. That’s OK. Probably means it isn’t too expensive… which means I’ll buy it.
The only thing that isn’t funny is rape (well… it usually isn’t funny). Death can be extraordinarily funny. I think “Bradley was eaten by caryotes” is funny, too.
Glenn ends interviews better than you do — no uncomfortable hugging. Although, I guess the whole interview was probably uncomfortable.
Will you ever be returning to Glenn’s show? Either to promote the book, make fun of Glenn, or both? You haven’t been on in months.
[ The book is actually hardcover – Glenn was holding an advance galley copy. I should be on next Thursday to taunt Glenn a wee bit. -B. ]
Hmmmm. Not actually being present on your side of the pond, the only footage of the GB Show I get to see is via your youtube segments. However, would I be right in thinking Glen hails originally from Lithuania?
But seriously, he does do good irony. Have you been rubbing off on him? (In the Flann O’Brien/Third Policeman sense)
I am uncomfortable with reading material that does not have its own MySpace.
