Who's watching Glenn Beck? -- latimes.com
“That makes (the Anti-Defamation League)’s recent report on the extremist groups and propagandists that have emerged since President Obama’s election — “Rage Grows In America: Anti-Government Conspiracies” — particularly notable. For the first time in living memory, the ADL is sounding the alarm about a mainstream media personality: Fox News’ Glenn Beck, who also hosts a popular radio show.
The report notes that while “other conservative media hosts, such as Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, routinely attack Obama and his administration, typically on partisan grounds, they have usually dismissed or refused to give a platform to the conspiracy theorists and anti-government extremists.” By contrast, “Beck and his guests have made a habit of demonizing President Obama and promoting conspiracy theories about his administration. … Beck has even gone so far as to make comparisons between Hitler and Obama.”
What gives all of this nonsense an ominous twist is Beck’s announcement that he intends to use his TV and radio shows to promote a mass movement that will involve voter registration drives, training in community organizing and a series of regional conventions that will produce a “100-year plan” for America to be read from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to a mass rally Aug. 28.”
Jeeeezus. dear rest of clear-thinking, level-headed America- Republican or Democrat- I’m embarrassed for you.
Cake & Polka Parade with Fatty Jubbo | WFMU
This is a recent fave, kind of like listening to a new version of Nurse With Wound’s Sylvie and Babs every week.
CAKE & POLKA PARADE WEEKLY PODCAST ON WFMU!
Your simmering pimply-faced blob of a host, Fatty Jubbo (Gregory Jacobsen), presents a classy program of children’s records, no-wave, noise, prog, 20th century classical avant-garde choral pieces, concrete sound poetry, weird foreign pop and audio debris. Crackpots, incompetents, geniuses... and they speak the gibberish too!
Fucking insane/ridiculous/beautiful/hilarious.

“Does Winnipeg Really Exist? Or is it just a Hollywood invention?”
From the YT comments:
“Probably an in-joke among Hollywood producers, many of whom are Masons/Occultists. Winnipeg has a special geodesic significance to them as the center of North America. Check out the Manitoba Legislative Building.”

A Canadian woman on long-term sick leave for depression says she lost her benefits because her insurance agent found photos of her on Facebook in which she appeared to be having fun.
Or maybe any way you phrased this it would be WTF? Plus the headline: “Canadian Woman Loses Insurance over Facebook Photo,” Time.com
