About a year and a half ago, Glenn Beck did this bit that I thought, at the time, was the dumbest thing ever written. I was googling for some specific info on health care reform today, and I found a link to his site. I thought I’d click on it because – in all sincerity [...]

Also, Glenn Beck is still retarded.

Took another two weeks off from the blog without even noticing it.
It’s funny how busy life gets without you even really noticing it. Kat and I moved into a new place last week, which derailed things a bit, and I’m up in Indianapolis since last Thursday, which derailed things further. I’ve been doing my [...]

Well, there’s probably dumber, but this is definitely the most embarrassing thing I’ve read all week. Here’s noted retard Glenn Beck trying to explain why taxing rich people is bad, using a straw-man “liberal whiner” and attempting to refute it with an NFL metaphor:
‘I’m just talking about leveling the playing field, to give everyone [...]

McCain’s got a new ad in his bid to get elected student council president of America. It’s about, like, how hot young white girls are totally into Obama, which means A) you’re a dumb girl if you vote for him and B) those white girls want to fuck him, doesn’t that piss you off? I [...]
