Behold the miracle that was prophesied, as God reveals his plan to Glenn through a wonder never before witnessed by mortal man: a flock of geese.
And by “never before witnessed,” I mean “witnessed every freaking day.”

If God was going to do a fly-over, couldn't He do something really cool like make it suddenly go dark, and then orbs of brilliant luminance radiating pure love and an ethereal sound not describable by human language might dance playfully above the crowd for a while and then form the words, "Hey guys, you are totally on the right track. -- Yer pal, God". Then there would be a big impressive thunderclap and the lighting would return to normal.
The funny thing is, those geese very likely evacuated their bowels somewhat profusely on many an attendee's automobile during their flyover. Holy shit, maybe?

Eh, something like that always seems a little significant or nice when it happens at an event you're organizing. And I suppose it's better than Glenn being struck by lightning.
Now, they tried for a year to get someone in uniform to present the flag? Is it military regulations that they couldn't?

Wait a minute. Geese?
I think that was Zeus, Beck!
A sudden blow: the great wings beating still
Above the staggering girl, her thighs caressed
By the dark webs, her nape caught in his bill,
He holds her helpless breast upon his breast.
How can those terrified vague fingers push
The feathered glory from her loosening thighs?
And how can body, laid in that white rush,
But feel the strange heart beating where it lies?
A shudder in the loins engenders there
The broken wall, the burning roof and tower[20]
And Agamemnon dead.
Being so caught up,
So mastered by the brute blood of the air,
Did she put on his knowledge with his power
Before the indifferent beak could let her drop?
-- W. B. Yeats

It's not a new religion, but a very old one.
Bird augury was an essential part of religion when I was growing up as a young Roman civis. So Beck, praises be to Diu Piter, has dropped his latter-day phony faith for the rites of my ancient fathers.
Respect!
Unfortunately, what he wanted in the context was an eagle alone, or a pair of eagles clutching a lamb, or falling upon a raven, to signify victory.
What he got was a bunch of geese flying over his crowd full of creepy misundereducated troglodyte atavists, probably shitting on some of their baseball caps adorned with "Obama: Go Back to Kenya!" buttons.
And to top it all off, the geese, which Romans used as watchdogs around their camps when they didn't need to eat them, were flying in the wrong direction.
The video shows them flying north-by-northeast, which is, auguristically, as bad as getting the Tower card in a tarot reading.
Fail, Glenn. You're going to fail in making America into an image of your saccharine Manichean view of right and wrong.
I'm available for expert consultation, however, should you like to know about real augury. My nick is blue.

Goose: Dec 22 – Jan 19
If you want something done – give it to the Goose. Persevering, dogged, and ambitious to a fault, the Goose sets goals for accomplishment, and always obtains them. The goose is determined to succeed at all cost – not for the approval of other – but those with this Native American animal symbol competes with his/her own internal foe. Driven is the watchword for the Goose's dominating personality trait – which makes them excellent in business and competitive sports. When tempered with supportive, nurturing family and friends, the Goose excels in all things he/she attempts. In a loving environment the Goose can be very passionate, humorous, gregarious, and even sensual. However, lead to his/her own devises, the Goose may fall into obsessive or addictive behaviors that will inevitably be his/her demise.

People take inspiration from the simplest and most prosaic of things, and this probably for the best. I'm no fan of Beck, and I don't find a flight of geese to be all that extraordinary, but if seeing them overhead sparked a thread of thought that took him down a better road for that Lincoln Memorial shindig, I gotta thank the geese.

You know, if I were trying to be the latter-day Moses, leading America out of the wandering-in-darkness shite, I would not choose a V-formation of geese to be my proof.
Throw down your "stick", Becky, and show me the serpent!
Raise up your staff (which is what we Biblical types call a "stick"), and smite something. Anything. Smite yourself on the forehead, that might actually help.
Show me a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night (unless it be a KKK one).
Give poor people bread ("manna") and don't stint or lecture the poor poor about it.
Raise up your "stick" and part the waters of hatred in this land.
Do any of those things, and I might follow you.
Otherwise, you're nothing but a millionaire mountebank.

ROTFLMAO.....
I have not used that acronym in a while. It just fits here.... The only way that dude can look into a mirror is if he has his bank statements taped on the mirror. What a douche.
my keyboard cannot type those letters... the g always comes up a d, the l is always an i, the e is always a c, and you know what the n is... :)

re: #94 avanti
One wonders what message God was sending when he sent a flock of his geese into flight 1459, were there liberals on board ?
It was a flight out of New York City. Draw your own conclusion.

It's not a new religion, but a very old one.
Bird augury was an essential part of religion when I was growing up as a young Roman civis. So Beck, praises be to Diu Piter, has dropped his latter-day phony faith for the rites of my ancient fathers.
Respect!
Unfortunately, what he wanted in the context was an eagle alone, or a pair of eagles clutching a lamb, or falling upon a raven, to signify victory.
What he got was a bunch of geese flying over his crowd full of creepy misundereducated troglodyte atavists, probably shitting on some of their baseball caps adorned with "Obama: Go Back to Kenya!" buttons.
And to top it all off, the geese, which Romans used as watchdogs around their camps when they didn't need to eat them, were flying in the wrong direction.
The video shows them flying north-by-northeast, which is, auguristically, as bad as getting the Tower card in a tarot reading.
Fail, Glenn. You're going to fail in making America into an image of your saccharine Manichean view of right and wrong.
I'm available for expert consultation, however, should you like to know about real augury. My nick is blue.
Simply brilliant, Cato.
