Wanted: Radio show, 9-noon eastern.

Filed under: — Mike @ 9:45 am

I just can’t take Glenn Beck anymore.

He just spent 30 minutes on Halloween, and why he hates it. This particular “monologue” section was particularly bad.

Beside the fact that Glenn’s mic technique seems to grow worse every day, and that his mic seems to breakup and distort more and more every day, this particular segment reinforced a lot of my opinions of Glenn.

First, halloween is for kids. If you don’t want trick-or-treaters, turn off your lights and lock your door. If your wife doesn’t want you to eat candy but you want to eat candy, go buy some candy. I guess we see who wears the Bill’s Khakis in your family.

Second, he did his usual “wife” voice. If you haven’t heard it, you’re lucky. It sounds like Grover after having smoked a carton of cigarettes in one sitting. Nobody wants to hear that at 9AM. It’s just terrible, and it is an insult to women.

Third, he explains that he has intentionally purchased his last three houses in far proximity to any neighbors. I guess that explains why he has delved deeper and deeper into rambling-insane-conspiracy-believing-lunatic territory.

Fourth, he explained that he has a nice Yukon Denali that he drives around to create false comfort for his family. Why not stick the family in a bomb shelter, put it on the back of a flatbed, and cruise Connecticut in real safety? You’d get the same gas mileage, and your family would be inordinately safer when the world ends.

Glenn, you lost me. I’m a talk-radio junkie, but I just can’t take you anymore. Even your funny segments like moron trivia and the couple of the year are lame when you don’t do them right.

Maybe I’ll listen again in the future, but for now I’m done. Good luck with your show.

Why the President NEEDS a Republican Majority

Filed under: — Mike @ 9:12 am

It’s quite simple, really.

President Bush NEEDS a Republican majority. He knows it. His party knows it. And they are all scared they’re going to lose their majority.

The reason?

In SIX years, President Bush has only met ONE bill he didn’t like.

Yeah, I’d be scared too if my party’s leader somehow construed his duty to uphold the constitution as a requirement to sign 99.9% of all legislation that comes across his desk.

Come on Democrats– for once I’m rooting for you. At least in the House.

And no, I’m not really rooting for you. I’m rooting for gridlock. You just happen to be the (gulp) best option.

So there.

Earth to Drudge

Earth to Drudge:

1. You shouldn’t put a story up at the top of your site in big red letters only to completely remove the story and all references to it from your site and your archive. If it was featured, even if only for a day, it belongs in the archive. Well, unless the administration asks you to remove it I guess. (the story about the internet radio host who seemingly made some very unwise calls to action)

2. Articles that sat in the far right column on the page for over a day should not be re-promoted to the top headline (right below the advertisement that I block) come Monday. (the articles about President Bush on the campaign trail attempting to save his precious majority)

3. You shouldn’t skip a story just because it reveals massive holes in the administrations #1 issue, “homeland” security. (the one about the idiot who made a boarding pass generator for an airline).

That is all.
