Glenn Beck is a F#$%ing Lunatic

Hey look, I found something. Fancy that.

Saw this clip a few days ago, was rather stunned, but it drifted through the cracks of life.

Stewart played it again tonight, and it jogged the ol' memory.

As it says in the title, no ambiguity here, Glenn Beck is clearly mentally unstable. Problem is, he seems to be becoming a conservative force, and is drawing crazy ratings for his radio and Fox News shows.

He is feeding people's irrational fears, on a national platform. Funny thing is, unlike O'Reilly or Limbaugh, I'm not sure if this is feigned or not.

Here is the video of his event from last Friday, 'You Are Not Alone', during which he proved that while people who take him seriously may not be alone, a bunch of paranoid sheep don't make the best gang.

Beck gets emotional about 2:50 in. Check it out and let me know in the comments whether these are crocodile, or genuine :



By the tone of this post, my opinion on Mr. Beck and his methods should be rather clear. Real or not, this kind of crap is dangerous, and feeds the worst parts of a free society.

Really?

Has it really been over 3 months since I last posted?

Well simple math says...yes, yes it has. Simple math is a friend of mine, went to school together.

Anyways, the reasoning behind this gap is nothing more than a simple lack of fire.

Obama won, and is currently killing it, so there's not too many battles that get me juiced up south of the border.

Up here, kinda the same. Harper is being squeezed so hard by his minority status that he just tabled a budget that could have been written by the Liberals. A fundamental fiscal conservative delving into deficit spending for social programs and arts funding...wow.

Ignatieff is doing a good job so far, but with the economic meltdown going on, no one is really paying attention to politics, especially when the threat of an election is so low. Around the mid-point of this year, after the Stanley Cup is over, the spotlight will go back to Canada's favorite contact sport, and Iggy better be ready to go to bat.

During the void, I've gotten hooked on Twitter (so unendingly interesting), enjoying watching my Vancouver Canucks go on an absolute roll, tonight hitting a 10-game home winning streak, keeping up with the 49ers through another offseason and draft (Trade for Cutler dammit!), and becoming rather obsessed with Lost, the greatest show ever to hit TV.

For the first time in a long time, politics is taking a bit of a backseat. I'm still keeping up, of course, I needs mah fix, but it's not all I'm into for once. My friends and colleagues probably enjoy a move away from the Obamania I put them all through for the last year too :P

I'll come back here whenever I feel something needs to be said, but for now, seems like there isn't much to be said...
