Day One: Opening Statements and Glenn Beck
Do you know the difference between 'opening statements' and 'questioning'? I do. I bet you do too. Glenn Beck doesn't.
Sometimes when I watch these kinds of clips, I feel like I am in middle school again. Making drama out of absolutely nothing.
I also don't believe that the United States of America is burning to the ground. Not yet at least.
Oh and the questioning begins today.

The First 100 Day Through The Voices Of The Losers
This is a total bummer to listen to. I don't remember the last 100 days like this. I guess it's because I wasn't watching Fox. I'm actually feeling a bit optimistic.
The First 100 Days: The Republicans
ThinkProgress's Victor Zapanta compiled a video report on the radical right's 100 days of opposition. Watch it:

Shep goes wild on Glenn Beck
It's hard to believe but this Fox news guy Shepard Smith seems to be having a little fun with Glenn Beck.
And this is apparently why Shep was having fun with Glenn Beck.
We report. You decide.
Actually, it's just me reporting, but still, you decide. Make up your own mind.

Full of hate?
He sure does hate a lot. I don't know. I reserve hate for the very worst of the worst of situations and humanity.
Like, if I don't like a chair or a couch, generally I don't hate it. I just don't like it.
I don't hate Glenn Beck. I don't understand him, and I certainly don't understand how he can turn to hating people or groups of people as the 'h' word is a strong one in my world and in my home. Hate is a powerful word.
