OMG, I watched Glenn Beck for the first time last night...
I'll never do that again, because even with the sound turned off, watching him on TV caused me to have a nightmare. I woke up screaming in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, heart pounding, goose bumps all over my body! I dreamed that I was standing in week old pig shit all the way up to my neck and that I was standing on Glenn Beck's shoulders.

1. I'd want to douse my eyes out with lye after watching him for an hour
THE PAIN THE PAIN!!!

4. I probably shouldn't have eaten that last 36" pizza before I
turned in...

2. Any idea what a dream like that might mean, anyone?
My dog was even scared!

7. It means you're in a shitload of trouble even when standing on someone's shoulders
Some dreams are easy to figure out. Drown Beck while surviving his bullshit by standing on him.

Now if you had dreamed that Beck was outside the shit and throwing you a line that would mean you'd be an idiot to take it. Unless, of course you plan to pull him in so you can stand on his shoulders.

13. I remember the last thing Glenn said before his head went
under was something about, "Where is that Gawd Damned Paddle?" I couldn't hear him though, because I had the sound turned all the way down in the dream too.

8. I went to the ER this AM just to be sure and they said that
half the people that came in there with Opticalrectitus and Spuffet's disease either watched Glenn Beck Or listened to Rush Limbo. The doctor said that he advised most people to always wear a good heavy plastic bag over their heads when they watched stuff like that.

9. I've seen him once, on a youtube video-- just 5 or 6 minutes...
...and I had a sympathy blood pressure rush that lasted all day. Glen Beck makes meth addicts look calm and reasonable.

a wicked BM.

Associate the sounds with his voice. Well, you get the picture.

12. I briefly saw Beck last night on a Keith Olbermann segment ...
with Beck's stupid grin and bouncing around flapping his arms... and then it occurred to me, he really needs to be in a clown's outfit! Watching the whole show, what bravery and perseverance! I can only stomach it a few seconds if I land on Fox by mistake when surfing the channels.

15. I only watched the first five minutes before the pizzas came.
I noticed the pizza delivery dude look in the front door at the TV and then he ran off and left the three pizzas and the case of beer on the front porch. I opened the door and yelled, "Hey, you forgot your money!" but by then he was halfway down the block with the pedal to the metal.

14. If you were up to your neck in pig shit, how could you tell ...
you were standing on Glenn's shoulders? How did you know where the shit left off and Beck began?

Damn, thanks for reminding me...I was wondering why I've had a headache ever since I woke up from that nightmare and you helped me figure it out.

I must have overtaxed and overheated my brain during that dream, trying to figure out where the shit left off and Glenn Beck began...

19. I've never seen him on TV as I'm cable challenged by choice but....
I did spy his ugly book in a bookstore and found the cover to be extremely disturbing.

Talk about subliminal messages just on the cover. Idiots can learn everything they need to know about the book and what he has to say without even cracking the book open.

21. I think Rush might have had an unnatural love affair up in the
Steel City with Theodore the Chipmunk, way back when and that Glenn may be the product of that chapter of Rushbo's secretish life.

24. Rush did recently claim that he "spawned" Beck.
Edited on Wed Oct-21-09 02:19 PM by Lucy Goosey
Limbaugh proudly claims to ‘have spawned’ Glenn Beck.

Rush: No. Look, in 1988, I’m the only national conservative voice. Now look at conservative media. Look what I have spawned. Glenn Beck to me is right on daddy-o. Glenn Beck is a result of my success.


You might be on to something. :D

25. That makes me feel really old
I grew to despise Rush when he got his start at KFBK radio in Sacramento, California. We hated him before he even splashed on the national syndicated scene.

I'm Rush's age, but my scion is only fifteen years old. Just how old is this jerk, Glen Beck?

23. Why on earth was that particular photo of him end up on his book?
I'm not even talking about the uniform, I'm talking about his face. His eyes are unevenly opened and there are dark shadows underneath them. And that fucking pouty look - it's like he's whining with his face.

Is he supposed to be the idiot in the "arguing with idiots" scenario? (I mean from his own point of view and that of his audience, I think I have a good idea of what the average DUer thinks of his idiocy.)

I'm seriously baffled. Is he dressing in a militarish uniform and photographed in an unflattering way to represent a left-wing Obamafascist "idiot" who his audience should argue with?


It's possible I'm overthinking this, yes? Looking too hard for some logic in logic-incompatible environment? I tend to overthink, and thinking isn't necessarily a great way to get inside the head of someone like Beck.

28. It's an image that angry white men can relate to in a very perverted way.
Symbolism is a strong messenger. The Cyrillic R (or whatever it is called) seals the deal.

I think Freddy Krueger or something like him, must have had a great deal of influence on Glenn's formative years.

30. He is the darling of the Utah Mormons.
They have him at their big 4th of July gala at BYU every year. Is it because he is a Mormon, or not a Democrat? They are not known for critical thinking, so who knows?

31. Glenn Beck is not the issue.
Glenn Beck is a performer. I've seen clips of his shows. One in particular, his rambling, incoherent rant about artwork in Manhattan, shows that Beck is just a carnival act. It's not Glenn Beck who is the issue. It's the people who give Beck a forum. Could you imagine Bill Paley giving this dunce his own show? Glenn Beck is a symptom of executives without intelligence or ethics. No concern is given to contributing to the nation's discourse. Beck's error-riddled inane babble is sanctioned by shucksters who care nothing about Americans and our problems. We need to discuss issues thoughtfully; they give us a circus bear.
Beck is a silly fool. But the real culprits are the suits with power who think Americans deserve a clown instead of Cronkite.

33. The guys in suits are making money off of that idiot...
and there are plenty of idiots on the other end of the boob tube that eat that idiotic crap up that Glenn spews forth. Keith Olbermann is right about 'Lonesome Rhodes'...although I think Loathsome Rhodes may be more apropos in Glenn's case.

36. As tough as Glenn is I'll bet he could single handedly...
kill every terra-ist in the middle east in a week. Or at least make 'em all sick.

Stealing the minds of GOPers is petty theft!(the pettiest)

I had to totally deprogram myself this AM after that dream last night. Pig shit, drool cups and a pig porker were so vivid in my Beckerhead nightmare that I had nonstop flashbacks until I drank a half gallon of XXX and ate a bottle of industrial strength tums!

I screamed so loud last night during that dream that I woke up my Poly-Vinyl Barbarian Barbie Blow-up Love Doll up under the bed.
