100th Post! Combines Something I Love With Something I Hate: Stephen Colbert & Glenn Beck.

I've been hatin' on Glenn Beck since before he moved to Fox News.  (I won't go on some Fox News rant, we all know it is what it is.)  Words cannot truly explain how bat-shit crazy this guy is.  Say what you will about Rush, O'Reilly, etc., but as wrong as those guys usually are, they are sane individuals.  Glenn is far from that category.

For those of you who don't know him (I'm guessing almost everyone reading this), Glenn Beck is a Mormon Conservative/Libertarian who has a radio show and TV program.  He used to be on CNN's Headline News channel, and I would be frequently mesmerized and infuriated, watching him.  He moved to Fox News in January, and in my opinion, the move was LONG overdue.  (Watching him, you'd think you were already tuned in to Fox.)  I could start a list of dumb things he's said over the years, but I will spare you.

Anyway, Colbert skewered him the other night on his show, and it's just fantastic.

Apologies to everyone who isn't interested in political stuff.  I'll post something else after this to make up for it.

Political Things: One Serious, One Fun.

First, I was watching Countdown with Keith Olbermann last night, and his Special Comment was directed toward those who voted for Prop 8 in California.  Yes, Olbermann can come off crazy, pompous, and overworked sometimes (Colbert once described him as: "rants like a guy who saves his own urine,") but I still love him.  And his comment here sums up the awfulness that is (well, was) Proposition 8.

Here's something else fun!  An article entitled, "Barack Obama: The 50 Facts You Might Not Know."  Did you know Obama is a Muslim and a Socialist???  ....Haha kidding, no, these are actual facts, not something my dad would forward around.   A few things on the list that make me like the guy even more:

- He collects Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian comics.
- His favorite meal is wife Michelle's shrimp linguini.  (Delicious!)
- He has read every Harry Potter book.
- He drives a Ford Escape Hybrid, having ditched his gas-guzzling Chrysler 300.
- He hates the youth trend for trousers which sag beneath the backside.  
- He uses an Apple Mac laptop.

You can tell this was written in the UK.  Can't you imagine Buzz Killington saying, "I hate the youths and their trend for wearing their trousers sagging beneath their backside."  Man, everything the British do are awesome.
