The Evidence is in. Glenn Beck and Michael Scott are the Same Person

August 27, 2010 · Filed Under Fox News, Glenn Beck, Media · Comment 

I was listening to Glenn Beck pontificate on his radio show about how what happened in the Third Reich is what is happening in America today and that he was surprised the Jews would not be sensitive to this. Being a Jew I wondered too, but not about the myriad of SS in the Obama administration but how this born-again Mormon knew so much about what I should be sensitive to.

Beck spoke about his ignorance of academia, being that he is self taught, but asked his listeners, “What if I am right?’ Of course he whispered it which makes what he says so cool because then you know he sincerely means it.  It was also at that moment that it all made sense. Glenn Beck is Michael Scott.

Michael Scott is a character in The Office, my favorite sitcom…other than the ones I was paid to write.  Glenn Beck is a character on radio and Fox News.  I now come to believe that they are, in fact, the same character.

It’s really not so much of a leap. Both are stars on their own hit shows. Both are wont to tear up to make an impression. Both have been known to use a blackboard to rationalize a tortured Read more

Offering his audience unambiguous evidence that his logic disconnects from even the most convoluted reasoning, Friday morning on his radio show, Glenn Beck likened the BP oil spill to a house fire.

“If a house burnt down, would we stop building houses?”

Sure we would, Glenn…

If the blaze raged on for over a month.

if the burning house caused the worst environmental disaster in history and there were no firemen who had any idea how to put it out.

if 70 miles of coastline had been contaminated by Read more

In a statement released Monday that spread quickly over jihadist Web forums, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula claimed responsibility for the entire year of 2009, sending the Obama administration into a rush of closed, high level meetings to deal with the political fallout from the year-long attack.

 

Taking credit for everything from Jon and Kate’s breakup, Tiger Woods’ dalliances and the Balloon Boy to the recession, Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize and Glenn Beck, the group that claimed loyalty to Osama bin Laden alleged that Al Qaeda launched 2009 in response to “American aggression” in Yemen, which has been the site of recent U.S. predator drone attacks.  The message maintained that Read more

Will O’Reilly Blame Washington Times Fall On Its Right Wing Slant?

December 3, 2009 · Filed Under Bill O'Reilly, Media · 2 Comments 

(Full disclosure: I have been published in The Washington Times, New York Times, Philadelphia Inquirer and the Los Angeles Times)

In April of this year, Bill O’Reilly wrote that “The New York Times is most definitely a committed left-wing concern that is openly contemptuous of the conservative, traditional point-of-view. That is the primary reason the paper may soon dissolve.”  He’s laid the same wood to the Philadelphia Inquirer, Los Angeles Times and pretty much any newspaper or mainstream media outlet who wrote or said something Bill disagreed Read more

Beck Changes Birthday To December 25th

September 23, 2009 · Filed Under Glenn Beck, Kind of Satire, Media · Comment 

As a followup to his call for a Fast and Prayer for the Republic on the same day as Yom Kippur, the Jewish day of atonement and the religion’s highest holy day, Glenn Beck has officially changed his birthday to December 25th, a day some have been known to celebrate a holiday called Christmas.

“I thought that our founders would have wanted future Americans to celebrate my birthday on a day they didn’t have to work,” said Beck. 

When it was explained that December 25th was also the birth date of Jesus Christ, Beck Read more
