Glenn Beck still the quintessential D* Bag

From www.politicususa.com:

Beck played a clip of Stewart asking how the Occupy Wall Street protesters aren’t like the tea party, and said, “How long do you have Jon? You’ve only got a half hour show. I’ve got a two hour show, and I can’t fit it in two hour, Jon. Open your eyes, you moron. Stu said, Yeah, but if you just say it, and the crowd laughs, it’s true that makes it true. They’re the same. They’re exactly the same. How are they different? They’re talking about killing and cannibalizing the rich. Just like the tea party.” Beck chimed in, “They’re talking about revolution in the streets and destroying the entire system, just like the tea party.” Stu said, “Remember when the tea party talked about Google Jews and how evil they are?” Beck came back with more insults for Stewart, “It must be true, you dope. You know Jon Stewart; I have absolutely no respect for you. You are not a thinking man at all.”

There are a couple people not to mess with on here. One is Bill Clinton and the other is Jon Stewart. I might have to add Steve Jobs to the list but so far, he is not on there. This was Glenn Beck and crew’s response to the video segment on the Daily Show entitled Parks and Demonstration.

Glenn Beck basically has no class. He is coarse and common and it is wonderful that he is no longer on Fox News. Actually the gang of 5 who replaced him are doing a pretty decent job. Of course, they profit by comparison. The first thing Beck needs to do is grow up. Maybe his wife can help him work on acquiring some class. His bishop needs to get hold of him. No Mormon I have ever known has acted like this.

Jon Stewart is probably smirking right now.  Go Jon.

Misuse of parking spaces?

 What’s wrong with this picture?  Plenty, actually.  The signs say:  Jury Parking-Towing Enforced.

The new reserved spots are in the public parking lot where 28 splits at the courthouse and rescue squad.  There is very little parking left for the public with this expanded jury space.  However, do you think the owner of that truck is really on a  jury?    I bet not. 

Perhaps Prince William needs to adopt a policy similar to Arlington– After 11am the spots become public parking. No juries are starting up after that time.  However, I am not so sure the sheriff’s political truck constitutes being ‘the public.’

While we are discussing the court house, how does one order up the golf cart if they have mobility issues?  I see it out there but if Ihad to park on the south 40 and had, say, a broken foot, how would I get a ride?  It looks nice but is the concept utilized by the handicapped?

 

Who are these 99%-er people?

From The Washington Post:

“It’s not that 99 percent of Americans want a revolution,” Ezra Klein wrote Tuesday. “It’s that 99 percent of Americans sense that the fundamental bargain of our economy — work hard, play by the rules, get ahead — has been broken, and they want to see it restored.”

Almost 15 days later, the submissions are appearing at a more rapid pace. At the same time, thousands of people can now protest in their home cities, as Occupy Wall Street has spread nationwide.

Voicing opposition to everything from corporate greed and bank foreclosures to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and unemployment, the Web site Occupy Together estimates there are now “Occupy” movements in 291 cities.

As the Occupy Wall Street demonstrations move across America, I am becoming more and more convinced that this is a unique movement and isn’t just your usual professional demonstrator and anarchists.  Yes, some of them are there.  They have to be somewhere.  However, more and more people in that sea of folks seem to be Americans  who are just frustrated by foreclosures, joblessness, political rhetoric that misses the point, and general malaise concerning their fate in their America. 

It is in the interest of the tea parties, the GOP  and some Democrats  to dismiss these people as kooks, commies, pinkos, anarchists, and professional agitators (that’s what they used to call them back in the day).   Why?  Because Occupy Wall Street (OWS) could end up being a huge groundswell of EveryAmerican who lacks the face of any political party and who just wants to put a stop to the absurdities and obstructionism going on in this country.   Obviously the tea parties want to be the new kid on the block, but they aren’t really.  They are just another branch of very conservative Republicanism, despite protests to the contrary. Read More
