When I check "The Whistleblower" on Amazon I note the following:
According to Amazon, "Customers who bought this item also bought:"
Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman by Jamie Reidy
A Call to Action by Hank A. McKinnell
Money-Driven Medicine: The Real Reason Health Care Costs So Much by Maggie Mahar
Inside the FDA: The Business and Politics Behind the Drugs We Take and the Food We Eat by Fran Hawthorne
The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It by Marcia Angell
I can understand the connection to most of those books, but I'm a bit surprised about "A Call to Action" ending up SECOND place.
Or is the answer that so many Pfizer lawyers have bought my book that their purchases show up here?

from essay by Bill Maher
"Why aren't Democrats and the media hammering away every day about
who we're supposed to be fighting for over there and what the plan is.
Yes, Mark Foley was wrong to ask teenagers how long their penises were
-- but at least someone on Capitol Hill was asking questions. We're the
predators. Because we have an entire economy built on asking young
people what they want, making the cheapest, sleaziest form of it
they'll accept, and selling it to them until they choke on it and die.
You know who's grabbing your kids at too young an age? Merck, Pfizer
and GlaxoSmithKline, by convincing you they're depressed, hyperactive
or suffering from attention-deficit disorder and so they must all get
medicated. The drug dealers hooking your kids aren't in South America,
they're in the halls of Congress handing out campaign donations to your
congressmen. Mark Foley says he never slept with those kids, and I
believe him, because American children are so hopped up on pills I
doubt any of them could get it up.
From 1995 to 2002, the number of children prescribed antipsychotic
drugs increased by over 400 percent. Either our children are going
insane -- which we might look on as a problem -- or, more likely, we
have, for profit, created a nation of little junkies. So stop already
with the righteous moral indignation about predators -- this whole
country is trying to get inside your kid's pants because that's where
he keeps the money Daddy gave him to stay out of his hair."
perhaps if we gave, er I mean sold all Iraqis Prozac our problems would just disappear.
