America is waiting to see if Glenn Beck will: 1) bring his beloved chalkboard, and 2) weep on cue, as he gives the keynote speech at the conference of far right social conservatives and religious fanatics known as the Values Voter Summit, attended every year by top Republican politicians because these are their people.

It never seems to bother these people that Beck is a follower of a religion most of them consider evil, possibly Satanic — Mormonism.

Do people pay to hear this crap? You would have to pay me to attend (cash and drugs—lots of drugs—something that would put me in a coma). Really do people pay?

2 Charles Johnson  Sep 27, 2014 11:04:28am

I think some of the events are paid admission, but overall I think it’s free to attend.

The only real cost to enter is dignity and brain cells. You lose both.

I had a horrible nightmare recently where I was back in grad school and somehow I ended up in a course taught by Glenn Beck. For that reason, I am not sure how long I can take this without having some awful flashbacks.

Edit: He told his wife that we can go ahead and burn every school book as long as we have the New Testament. I am out.

7 A Mom Anon  Sep 27, 2014 11:15:24am

And there it is…”we can burn every school book, we have all we need right here”, whilst holding a Bible. And that is where I shut it off after about 30 seconds. NO Glenn, we want smarter people, not more grifting dipshits like you.

Baby sitting my sister’s dogs…she said the puppy wasn’t ready for the beach yet as he’s too young. The puppy begs to differ.

I guess Glenn Beck has no friends.

During the First Gulf War didn’t RWNJs in Israel put up signs saying “Prays stop Missiles”? Heck, who needs missile defense, rocket science, and engineering when we can pray?

12 Charles Johnson  Sep 27, 2014 11:26:15am

There were some boos when Glenn Beck said he didn’t want gays to be executed.

re: #7 A Mom Anon

Seriously, how the FUCK would we train doctors, nurses, teachers, air traffic controllers, mechanics, architects and construction workers, electricians, plumbers and EVERYONE else using a Bible as the only book? I’d love to watch Glenn put a megachurch pastor in charge of his angioplasty in lieu of a cardiologist. I’ll chip in on that one.

15 Charles Johnson  Sep 27, 2014 11:31:12am

But I’m pretty sure the Sykes-Picot agreement isn’t mentioned in the Bible. So when they burn all the schoolbooks how will anyone know?!

WE’RE DOOMED.

Wasn’t Beck making some noises a few months back about feeling regret and responsibility for contributing to the poisonous political atmosphere?

And he’s showing up at this fucking freak show?

My surprise, etc.

The Book of Mormon gets burnt too? That’s some bad latter day sainting on Beck’s part.

Results of the VVS14 straw poll for 2016 presidential candidate…

Ted Cruz 25%
Ben Carson 20%

Ben Carson also got No. 1 spot as vice-president.

LOL. That sweet, sweet grifter payola would dry up like a desert if he got too sensible and apologetic. He probably took a hit in the wallet for his half assed apology, which is why he showed up to this freak show.

Glenn Beck with his Bible and his chalkboard

And his toupee, from the look of it.

He has three mikes, but keeps fading out as he sways around.

Jim Jordan is up. Here’s a guy who still has his own hair, but doesn’t seem to know what to do with it. Is he trying to obscure his actual hairline?

I think he has a cowlick in front.

I did, but I didn’t photograph it. I just left him on the tailgate of the truck and used the shower nozzle on the garden hose to clean him. He took it quite well. Better than the Golden (who hates getting hosed down) did. And once I got a towel around him all bets were off…he loves a good rub down and makes the most of it…all teeth and growl.

Odd tweet—seems to me this illustration is much more representative of (religious) indoctrination than modern education. Upon searching Google Images, it seems to be popularly paired with a Noam Chomsky quotation on Pinterest. From there the search results descend into all kinds of weird, shit about “sheeple” and mind control and such:

My favorite response was this one (I’m assuming sarcasm):

re: #52 CuriousLurker

Communication is, after all, an attempt of one brain to get another brain to process the same as the first.

Learning language being the most obvious example, but all forms of education are of this category of mimicry.

If I fault Chomsky on this particular point it is that he doesn’t go all the way and realize that he too, by trying to get people to learn from him, is trying to shape the brain-processes of his listener.

In this we all are pots or kettles.

56 ObserverArt  Sep 27, 2014 1:16:45pm

How ever did the good ol’ US of A get to be the exceptional leader and protector of the world when we had separation of church and state, public education, higher taxes, social/race changes, voting rights, civil rights, public roads and all kinds of other stuff that is now stopping us from being great?

Almost 240 years of real progression and now it is all a problem.

I only wish these idiots would be held to such simple questions by the media. Instead of Chucky Todd-like “not our job” coverage, just ask these bozos to answer simple to the point questions and make them answer. I’m thinking the snake in them would have to show up.

57 Khal Wimpo  Sep 27, 2014 1:19:16pm

I can’t. I seriously can’t tune into the derpfest. The lulz do not outweigh the amount of time I will spend in random moments when some neuron fires and I am tormented by something galactically stupid.

Thus:

So very much nope. A whole infinite internet meme-generated sackfulla nope.

Sorry had to go sell a bike.

Bought for $40 + 10 minute tune up, sold for $150 = profit!

I’ve occasionally thought of buying nonrunning watches on Ebay for cheap, cleaning them up and selling them. Often a nonrunner only needs cleaning to be able to run well, so I figure it would be pure profit!

Then I run across a watch like one I got recently. If I fixed it all up, and got a new quality strap, I could probably sell it for $75-125. The problem is, I’ve already got 8 hours of work in it, and it’s still not behaving. If I check each piece separately, they all check out fine. Groups of components check out fine. It’s only when it’s all together that I run into problems.

You generally can’t tell why a watch isn’t working till it’s on your bench. Often not till you take it apart. Sometimes, not till you put it back together. And occasionally, not even then.

Yeah, bikes are much easier to diagnose, and the parts are more interchangeable. And if all else fails, they are worth more as scrap than a watch would be!

That depends on the watch, sadly. Many otherwise good watches have their cases melted for cash, because a lot of people are really gullible.

The other thing - drop a screw on the floor while fixing a bike, and it’s a hell of a lot easier to find!!!
