110% pure crazy: a charming Glen Beck segment with Michael Scheuer, in which the latter says, "The only chance we have as a country right now is for Osama bin Laden to deploy and detonate a major weapon in the United States. ... It's an absurd situation again, only Osama can execute an attack which will force Americans to demand that their government protect them effectively, consistently, and with as much violence as necessary." Seriously, not a parody, not an exaggeration - he's openly hoping for an attack on the country, to make Americans demand the government 'protect' them, so we can...avoid being attacked. How out of their goddamned mind does someone have to be to even think this, much less say it publicly? Gah.

Some upliftingly crazy news, to balance out the Beck-related horror: "Asked if he has plans to run for public office, he [Joe the Plumber] replied, “I hope not. You know, I talked to God about that and he was like, ‘No.’”"

You know, I talked to God about that and he was like, ‘No.’
