The Mayor of Toledo, Ohio last Friday was the only one in town who hadn't heard the United States Marines were coming to do some training exercises in the downtown area. When he finally heard the news, he reacted in about the worst way possible. He kicked the Marines out of the city because he didn't want them to 'cause fear'. To make matters worse, he's sticking by his decision. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here).
Parent of the Year
More nominations are in for the Glenn Beck Parent of the Year contest---and there are some major contenders this month. From a Mom who left her three year old son at a busy mall and didn't go back, to Bobby Cutts--the former cop who 'accidentally' karate chopped his pregnant girlfriend and 'accidentally' wrapped her dead body in a blanket and 'accidentally' drove to the middle of nowhere and 'accidentally' disposed of the body. It's going to be a tough choice, especially with the Oscar worthy (note: heavy sarcasm) performance by Cutts on the stand yesterday. Read an excerpt of the nominations. (Insiders listen here for the full story).
ALSO: Check out this interview that Cutts did before he was named a suspect. There is not much else to say about this clip but WOW.
Glenn lectures Mom
Nothing hacks off Glenn more than when a stay at home mom calls up the show and starts off her call with 'I'm just a stay at home mom'. Glenn explained to the caller exactly why she was mistaken to say so. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here).
Keep Glenn everywhere
Glenn's 'Debit Cards for everyone' editorial is now being featured on CNN.com. It was the most emailed story on the Daily News website yesterday, and it's been #1 most read on CNN. Isn't it fun to see a conservative opinion splashed all over outlets with heavy liberal readership? In case you missed it, here is the story . If you already read it---just read it again to keep Glenn's mug on the front page!
And last but not least, some excited Obama supporters in the Houston, TX area opened a volunteer office for the Senator from Illinois just after Super Tuesday. That's neat and everything---but take a look at what the news segment about the office shows on the wall of the office. Very interesting indeed . . .
