A bright spot in bankruptcies?

Blogmaster — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:50:06 +0000

Bankruptcy filings are up this year in northeast Nebraska, including the Omaha area, but the increase has been far higher in the rest of the state.

Although job losses and the slumping economy contribute to the bankrupty increase, economists and lawyers aren’t sure why there’s a difference within the state, which is split between U.S. Bankruptcy Courts in Omaha and Lincoln….(read more)

Stamp Malfunction

Stamp Malfunction

The Postal Services created a stamp with a picture of President Obama on it. The Postal Service noticed that the stamp was not sticking to envelopes. This enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation. After a month of testing and $1.73 million in congressional spending, a special Presidential commission presented the following findings:

1. The stamp is in perfect order.
2. There is nothing wrong with the glue.

3. People are spitting on the wrong side.

Chavez loves Fox News

Glenn plays the amazing audio of the Fox reporter who caught up with Hugo Chavez at the UN and asked him a few questions, which Chavez promptly avoids while calling Fox viewers deranged. Glenn also plays audio of Benjamin Netanyahu, who was outraged at the fact that legitimacy is given to the President of Iran, a guy who denies the Holocaust and who has called for Israel to be wiped off the map. Glenn plays the audio and reacts. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Rare night for NBC

The SNL Weekend Update crew targeted Glenn for the very first time in a bit (which Glenn thought was actually very funny) AND Rush Limbaugh appeared on The Jay Leno Show. Glenn was mocked for his spelling prowess while Limbaugh masterfully and unashamedly explained the conservative point of view on Healthcare, Capitalism and more. The icing on the cake was Rush racing in the Green car, running over a cardboard cutout of Al Gore…then putting it in reverse to run him over again. The biggest shock? The crowd cheered wildly when the cardboard Gore was mowed down AND the crowd also cheered while Rush explained opposition to government healthcare. On NBC? Really? Nice. Watch the SNL bit on Glenn HERE and Leno’s interview with Rush HERE.

Barack makin’ stuff up

The President seems stuck in perpetual campaign mode, leaving the White House in favor of giving speeches to heavily partisan crowds who already support his plan. Which makes it doubly worse that he feels the need to make things up while on the quasi campaign trail — like he did with a hard luck healthcare story meant to highlight the evils of our current system. Obama appears to be attempting to outdo Al Gore, who complained during a Presidential debate in 2000 that schools were so overcrowded people had to stand in class. The real reason people were standing at the school Gore mentioned was because they had hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of brand new lab equipment that was yet to be unpacked, taking up space in the classroom. Could Obama’s fib be worse? You decide — Glenn tells the story in the latest Beck Talks video blog. WATCH

Would McCain have been worse? Glenn is taking heat over those comments (from the GOP) and just wanted to show you THIS clip of McCain on the campaign trail. Still think he’d be any different?

Glenn Beck gets another ‘scalp’

The Communications Director of the NEA resigned, and the fringe media is referring to this as another Glenn Beck scalp. Glenn has no interest in ‘scalps’ — and only in the truth. The fact of the matter is the NEA debacle goes far higher than the Communications Director who quit — and Glenn won’t quit until he gets actual answers on what the real agenda is. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Channeling Saul Alinsky

Glenn plays a series of audio clips — starting with the Chavez clip where he makes fun of Fox News and ending with the clip of him being incessantly referred to by Dick Durbin on the floor of the United States Senate. All of these clips demonstrate one thing — the left can’t win the argument, so they are being forced to refer to the strategy championed by Saul Alinsky. Identify the target, then mock and ridicule. Chavez couldn’t answer the question Fox asks, so he mocked. Durbin can’t answer the charge – so he redirects the attention towards the ‘guru’ Glenn Beck. Glenn explains more.

Another indoctrination video

After watching Hollywood and the fringe media bow down and worship ‘The One,’ is it any wonder that THIS happens at our schools? A teacher is practicing a song with kids in the school and it’s all about singing praise to Obama — complete with the line “all are equal in his sight.” The only question left is — did they capitalize the H in ‘his’ on their script? And why is it suddenly ok to use ‘Hussein’ again? Glenn plays some clips and reacts. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Also, check out Beck Talks video blog on Obama’s creepy followers. WATCH

Who will fix ACORN?Oh, you’ll feel at ease when you see the distinguished advisory board at ACORN who will sink their claws into the corrupted organization and clean it up. People like Andy Stern from the SEIU — they’ll fix it! Glenn runs down the list of board members and in the process gives hope to the next aspiring journalist looking to uncover corruption at ACORN. Maybe the next video can feature an Escort instead of a hooker? (

Arguing with Idiots – McCain

Available Now!

Glenn sat down with Katie Couric earlier this week and one of the comments drawing the ire of Republican commentators and bloggers was when Glenn said McCain may have been a worse President for the country than Barack Obama. Republicans were horrified! How could this be? Glenn explains it for those whose partisan blinders have hindered their ability to think. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Michael Moore doesn’t like Capitalism

Gee, what a surprise — yet another thing Michael Moore doesn’t like about America. Hey Mike, little tip for you — if you hate it here so much why do you stay? Oh, and one other question which the media won’t ever think to ask you: If you hate capitalism so much, why do you charge money for people to see your movie? Isn’t that….capitalism? Glenn and the guest idiot discuss Michael Moore and his idiotic movie. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Frog-gate

Christian Science Monitor was appalled at Glenn’s segment last night on TV explaining his comments on John McCain. They initially came out swinging saying, “Did we witness the murder of an innocent frog?” Maybe if they cared a little more about journalism and a little less about the human treatment of rubber frogs, the Christian Science Monitor wouldn’t have provided a shining example of why the fringe media is mightily struggling right now.

Obama’s creepy followers

John McCain wasn’t too far off the mark when he labeled Barack Obama ‘The One’ on the campaign trail, turning his popularity into somewhat of a negative. All one has to do is look at the creepy videos of his supporters, who engage in bizarre ritualistic chanting to show support far more often than mere mortal human beings would be comfortable with. Glenn looks at a few of these bizarre supporter clips, including the ultra creepy Ashton Kutcher ‘I pledge’ video featuring dozens of celebrities. Funny, don’t remember the celebs pledging to help W. Check out Glenn’s latest Beck Talks video blog on ‘The One’s’ crazy followers. WATCH

More on ACORN

Who’s on the rolodex of ACORN CEO? Erick Erickson from Red State managed to obtain the names of those in contact with ACORN CEO Bertha Lewis. How many politicians are shaking in their boots? Glenn talks with Erick about the names. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Arguing with Idiots on…Taxes

Available Now!

You’ve probably had this conversation with your idiot friend many times. It starts with you complaining about your taxes and it ends with your idiot friend saying something like “Well how else are you going to get roads built or run fire departments?” or, even worse, “It’s about time the rich start paying their fair share!” What is “fair” exactly? Glenn answers that and a whole lot more in today’s episode of Arguing with Idiots. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Arguing with Idiots is OUT TODAY!

In celebration of today’s release of Arguing with Idiots: How to Stop Small Minds and Big Government Glenn tackled the subject of school ‘indoctrination.’ Idiots love to argue that the President’s speech to school children was harmless, but is that really where it ends or did that speech just set the stage for what’s to come? (Hint: If that’s where it ended we wouldn’t be featuring this in today’s newsletter.) ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

If you want to see what happens to school kids after years of indoctrination then what better place to go than UC Berkeley? We sent Steven Crowder out there last week to see what America’s liberal future thinks about presidents, guns and the Great Depression. If you don’t yet fear for our country’s future then you may not want to watch this. VIDEO

AWI Theme: Get the catchy theme song to Arguing with Idiots stuck in your head — consider it our form of indoctrination. Enjoy!

Indoctrinate – U

Actually, the progressives are starting much younger these days…there is a video being played in schools all across America that lays out the ‘story of stuff’ a loving, anti-capitalist tale that unfortunately has virtually no facts correct. Watch the video here (if you can stomach the entire thing) — when you are done, check out this thorough debunking of the video, in which the commentator investigates the footnotes used in the ‘story of stuff’ video. Glenn reacts. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Population control…again?

Remember when science Czar John Holdren said that he no longer agreed with his old views on population control? Because that was crazy. No one is worried about controlling the population now — like the UN — there’s no way they think there are too many humans on Earth and that’s causing problems with the environment. Good thing we have Holdren as our Science Czar, because he knows how to keep that population low! Learn all about him in today’s Beck Talks Video Blog.

Check out even more crazy talk, but this time from our Diversity Czar. VIDEO

Obama’s media tour

With his healthcare plan on life support, President Obama hit the cable circuit to promote his plan to America. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, Univision (Univision?) and the Late Show with David Letterman all got interviews – the one major network overlooked? Fox News. Apparently Univision is more worthy to hear the President speak than viewers of Fox? Glenn was particularly bemused by the President’s reaction to George Stephanopoulos’ questions about ACORN. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Stephanopoulos also hammered the President on his healthcare plan, even at one point reading the President a dictionary definition of taxes, asking him how it could not be considered a tax. STORY

Fighting the tactics of the left

During his media blitz Barack Obama said the media is ‘rude’ and he didn’t want to provide any ‘catnip’ by commenting on issues like ACORN, which isn’t a big issue according to the President. A group eligible for over $8 billion in taxpayer money giving advice on tax evasion, prostitution, and running a brothel for underage illegal immigrants from El Salvador isn’t an important story? Glenn talks with David Horowitz about Obama’s tactics and how to combat them. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Arlen Specter is…Jabba the Hut?

Glenn spends some valuable air time uncovering the flaws in Pat Gray’s impressions. When cornered, Gray backpedals and says he merely does ‘characterizations’ not impressions. Glenn finally lures Pat into doing the Arlen Specter impression AND the Jabba the Hut impression back to back. They sounded suspiciously alike – Insiders listen to the audio here and decide for yourself. But in fairness to Pat, it is easy to confuse the many striking characteristics Specter and Hut have in common.

There is an excellent article by Christian Toto, 9/12/09, at Human Events about Glenn Beck and the recent attacks after Time magazine’s latest cover story — “Mad Man: Is Glenn Beck Bad for America” — merely the most visible attempt to destroy/silence/marginalize the populist talker….(article)

I became confused when I heard the word “service”used with these agencies.

Internal Revenue ‘Service‘

: Image via Wikipedia

U.S. Postal ‘Service’
Telephone ‘Service’
Cable TV ‘Service‘
Civil ‘Service’
State, City, County & Public ‘Service’
Customer ‘Service’

This is not what I thought ‘service’ meant.

But today, I overheard two farmers talking, and one of them said he had hired a bull to ‘service’ a few cows.
BAM!!! It all came into focus. Now I understand what all those agencies are doing to us.

You are now as enlightened as I am.
