Huckabee Burns Beck
There are lots (and lots) of problems with Mike Huckabee. But I think he's pretty smart, he's pretty charming, and more importantly, he writes stuff like this:
This week Glenn Beck has taken to his radio show to attack me as a Progressive, which he has said is the same as a “cancer” and a “Nazi.” What did I do that apparently caused him to link me to a fatal disease and a form of government that murdered millions of innocent Jews? I had the audacity—not of hope—but the audacity to give respect to the efforts of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move campaign to address childhood obesity. I’m no fan of her husband’s policies for sure, but I have appreciated her efforts that Beck misrepresented—either out of ignorance or out of a deliberate attempt to distort them to create yet another “boogey man” hiding in the closet that he and only he can see. The First Lady’s approach is about personal responsibility—not the government literally taking candy from a baby’s mouth. He seems to fancy himself a prophet of sorts for his linking so many people and events together to describe a massive global conspiracy for pretty much everything. Sadly, he seems equally inept at recognizing the obvious fact that children are increasingly obese and that we now see clinical evidence of diseases in children that as recent as 20 years ago were found only in adults, such as Type 2 diabetes. The costs to our nation are staggering in increase health care expenses, but it even effects national security with now 75% of young men between the ages of 17 and 24 are unfit for military service primarily due to obesity! His ridiculous claim that John McCain and I collaborated and conspired in the 2008 campaign is especially laughable. Is he not aware that McCain and I were competitors—not cohorts? Beck needs to stick to conspiracies that can’t be so easily de-bunked by facts. Why Beck has decided to aim his overloaded guns on me is beyond me. But he ought to clean his gun and point it more carefully lest it blow up in his face like it did this time.

J Crew Nonsense
Take it away, Jon!
Maybe it's the video, but Keith Ablow's tie looks awfully pink to me.

Westboro
Ugh, these people. The BBC has a documentary about them. At the moment, the videos are up on YouTube and you can watch them here. It's...interesting. In some ways, listening to them talk, you can forget that they are such hateful terrible people who antagonize others at their lowest, most painful moments. You can't, however, forget that they have a warped view of Christianity.

"Hell is not a love tap..."
"...It's the bitchslap of the hate of God."
Oooooooh, Westboro, you are gross. (Be aware that there is a graphic photo of a dead baby that I assume is supposed to be an aborted fetus.)

More Weiner
I really think this guy must be a pill to be around, but he sure is funny with all his antics. In truth, I worked with a guy just like this. I found him very taxing very quickly...but in small doses he was amusing.
National Prayer Day
What I have learned from the following video is that prayer causes weather patterns? Or maybe that lack of prayer causes weather patterns? Or that weather patterns are a good reason to pray?
Just for the record, I don't have anything against prayer. I think it's incredibly helpful and comforting to billions of people. I just find this overproduced video amusing.
