   I don't much like Glen Beck, but he's hilarious in this one. Reminds me of Robin Williams. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=42a_1264630979 Completely brilliant. God loves a cynic, you know.

   He has his own slot on Fox? I take it he isn't a journalist... ? Please tell me he isn't a journalist.

   Sadly, he is a journalist by Fox News standards. Learning this probably makes the intellectual dwarfism many see in my country men and women better understood. Whether people like Glenn Beck or not, they love to talk about him as if they knew anything about him. NO...HE'S NOT A JOURNALIST. He doesn't break news, or anything of that nature. He has a radio talk show that starts out with the phrase, "The fusion of entertainment and enlightenment". He's a political commentator. He reads the news, and gives opinions. He has guests on to discuss political topics, kind of like Oprah but on the other side of the isle. Hell, I was watching Chelsae Lately the other day, and she said that Glenn Beck was a Republican Asshole. Only one problem with that Chelsae....he's not a Republican, but a Libertarian. He's a crazy Mormon, Libertarian, and he's entertaining as hell. Even if you don't agree with him, you'll get a chuckle out of it when he starts making economic models out of twinkies.

   I was thinking about it, and thought I might post a little bit of info about Glenn Beck that might clear this up a bit. I'll just throw these out in bullet point format. You add it up, and let me know if you get it. - Glenn Beck has written seven books in the last 7 years. He's hit the New York Times best sellers list 4 times. - One of his books was a Christmas book about Redemption that was turned into a play, that I believe was a musical. - He used to be a wacky FM disc jockey before he became an alcoholic. He became interested in politics while in recovery. - He has an AM talk radio show that is the third highest rated radio talk show in America. He describes the show as the, "Fusion of entertainment and enlightenment". That slogan is also at the top of his website. - He has a television show on fox, that had over 4 million viewers last Friday at 5 pm eastern time. - He is currently on a live tour with Bill O'Reilly. The discuss and debate current issues. - He has inspired a political action group called the 9/12 project. - He has a comedy tour. If that sounds like journalism, then I guess journalism is what it used to be.
