Let's all remember to not give Glenn Beck too much credit. No really. I think we are forgetting something very important when we get up in arms about how Glenn Beck's guests are making thinly veiled terrorist threats. (Which we should be getting up in arms about, btw!)
He's an idiot. If the old saying, "What you don't know can't hurt you," is true than he's practically invulnerable.
I know, call me sentimental, but Glenn Beck's main viewing audience consists of people who think that dinosaurs celebrated Thanksgiving with the pilgrims and that Sarah Palin is some sort of political powerhouse.
Now, don't get me wrong. The diary on the rec list the other day about what that idiot guest said on the news totally deserves your rage. I'm down with the complaints. I'm down with the butt kicking.
But I'm seeing comments about how we need to try Beck for treason and I'm sort of chuckling a little because he's not a traitor, guys. He's a pissed off right winger who is suffering from a 'bout of verbal diarrhea the likes of which we've only seen from victims of Tourette's. And most of THEM manage to say things that are far more accurate and intelligent. Diarrhea of the mouth; constipation of the intellect.
Get his dumb ass off the air. Fine Faux News. But can we stop elevating Glenn to a level he only dreams of being? Which is relevant. Because, really, to most people, he isn't.
Glenn Beck = FAIL
Like, this sort of fail.
To bring peace to the world once again, I will end this unimportant diary with things that are more useful (and relevant!) than Glenn Beck!
The Waterproof Notepad!
For when your OCD is completely out of control and you must write down that grocery list while IN the shower. Note to those working checkout at grocery stores: Ewww.
The Ice Cream Turner:
Why exercise the muscles in your hands like those other suckers?
Back Scratching T-Shirt:
Because telling folks where that itch is can be harrowing. And the only catch is that you'll have to own seven of them or wear the same one every day.
And last, but still more useful and relevant that Glenn Beck:
Mark Sanford's political clout:
With all the sonnets and the squicky TMI, Mark has a genuine future. As a Harlequin romance novelist. His debut novel: "Take a letter, Maria."
So to Glenn, thanks for trying. But you're still waaaaay in the back of the line. The stupid have accepted you as one of their own. Doesn't this make you all warm and fuzzy inside? I know it must make you smirk a little to watch some of us collectively freak out whenever you step over the line too far but that is only because we're bored and have no money for waterproof notepads, like you. You're barely a blip. Obama would END YOU in a game of Trivial Pursuit. Oh, we'll poke fun and you'll ruffle our feathers from time to time but your time is coming to a miserable end. Ordinarily people live and learn. Somehow, Glenn, you just live.
I honestly cannot believe that Fox news thinks that you're a great asset. I think they're off by two letters.
No cupcakes for you,
Lolly
