I knew that Glen Beck was a crazy person, but he is apparently also a heartless asshole. Back when he was on radio, station hopping around the country, he got in a war of words with another DJ. The DJ said his rip off of War of the Worlds was a rip off. Beck got so pissed off that when the DJ's wife miscarried, he called her up and made fun of her on air.
That may be one of the crappiest things ever.
Stay classy Beck. Stay classy.

Hey, yeah, what about that?
An eagle-eyed commenter over on SadlyNo pointed out...
Aren't we supposed to be getting up to speed for the War on Christmas? Honestly, I had almost forgotten, what with BillO not freaking out about it every day. And Glen Beck hasn't mentioned it in his breakdowns. I feel really ripped off, I love the War on Christmas!

News of the World
So there is so much going on in the news that little things are getting lost. Such as...
- Today is Juneteenth, or Freedom Day. And it celebrates the end of slavery in the US. I had no idea until someone wrote it on the whiteboard here at work.
- On Monday Jon and Kate will make a "major announcement" on their show. This is news to me in the fact that they are local (they live a county over), and they are really bugging the crap out of me. I used to watch their show, the octuplets are the same age as the kiddo so I liked seeing another family going through what I was going through, times 8. Now I can't sit through a show. I read someone who said that they watch the show to make sure the kids come out alive in the end, and I think that sums it up.
- Glenn Beck is doing some kind of comedy thing. There is a fantastic review of it here.
- I have found a new blog, and I am in love. The Unrepentant Old Hippie. It's snarky goodness. And it is joining the blog roll.
I know I'm forgetting stuff, though, this has been a strange week.

From Comhradh
Who was kind enough to let me know about the newest Beck insanity.
"OK, I've heard some new insanity from Beck, and while I stand by my assertion that Hannity is a psychopath, I must admit that Glenn Beck is certainly making a case for having a judge commit him to a psych ward.
Because he's afraid of *dimes.*
http://www.buzzfeed.com/yacomink/glenn-beck-is-afraid-of-dimes/fascist_dime_are_not_fascist
The whole 3 minutes are just pants-on-head crazy, but around the 2:30 mark, he breaks out this mouth-frothing lunacy that we've been tra-la-la-ing down the road to fascism since a fasces appeared on the back of the dime that was minted when *Woodrow Wilson* was president - almost a decade before Mussolini introduced fascism to the world - but hey, look over there! EVIL DEMOCRATS!"
Thank you Comhradh*!
*You know, I have no idea why I am having such a hard time typing that this morning. This doesn't bode well for my upcoming goal of teaching myself Gaelic.

Glen Beck is a crazy person
He really is. I'm not sure if he really believes what he says every day on his crazy tv show, but even if he doesn't he's still crazy. And because he's crazy, and because he's saying some seriously messed up stuff, he's egging on the lunatic fringe of this country into killing people. People in that fringe see their paranoid ideas on a major news network and they feel that they are validated, that everything they believe is true, and then they act on what they are hearing. And that is why this year more people have died of violent attacks here in the US than have died in Iraq.
The fact that Beck is saying that he isn't responsible for this new and interesting turn of events is insane in and of itself. Since he started really going batshit on air there has been rise in violence. Blame it on Obama, on the economy, on lots of things, but at some point Fox News is going to have to also blame themselves. They have allowed a crazy man to talk about crazy things on air. And when they saw that he was starting to break down, and they saw the effect he was having on people, they allowed him to stay on air. They chose ratings over common sense, and they are just as responsible as anyone else in this. No, they didn't hand the crazy people a gun, but they did tell the crazy people that Obama will take their guns, so they need to buy them quickly and then shoot the people coming to get them. Tell me, how that is really any different?
