Random thought of the moment: An intimidating situation can be defined as when you walk into a place and realize you are the dumbest person in the room. A *frightening* situation is when you walk into a place and realize you’re the *smartest* person in the room.

It’s just about gotten to the point I can’t go anywhere. It’s because that I’m famous or have a bunch of money. It’s not because I like to draw attention to myself. Contrary to the beliefs of a few, I am not a publicity whore. I’m just a normal guy. Despite all this, I have a problem.
“Glenn Beck represents a truly troubling trend in television journalism. Since May 2006, the radio talk show host has had his own one hour nightly programme on CNN’s Headline News channel. While the network may have hoped that Beck’s flamboyant style would increase ratings, the cost to their integrity has been staggering.
In just the past two months, for example, one half of Beck’s shows have focused on matters Muslim. Beck insists that he is not opposed to all Muslims, only what he refers to as the “10 per cent who are evil”. He then counters this observation by stating that the vast majority of good Muslims have been cowered into silence by the extremist 10 per cent, so that they too stand indicted by their cowardice. Only when they do speak out, Beck says, will radical Islam be defeated and the rest of us be safe from their scourge. The net result of this circumlocution is that the majority of Muslims are to blame.” - James Zogby
You know what I find to be a really disturbing trend? The fact that guys like Keith Olbermann never get mentioned in articles like this. All this is, is another episode of “Throw The Conservative Under The Bus.”
