During a book signing in the private, gated community near Orlando called “The Villages”, Glenn Beck announced plans to do a tour to divide the country into 7 parts and conduct re-education camps.

Beck plans to teach ethics, history, finance and political science.

I’m not kidding.  He says the first city on that tour will be Orlando on March 27, 2010 at UCF.

“It’s like looking into a mirror, after you’ve done a ton of coke off of it.  Clearly, Glenn Beck is as sincere in what he says and does as I am in believing that baby carrots are trying to turn me gay.“  — Stephen Colbert

“Because if they can take Glenn Beck’s burst appendix to save his life, who’s to say that they can’t take out your healthy appendix tomorrow and eat it in front of you and your children?“  – Jon Stewart

My personal arch-nemesis, Dominic Arizona Bonuccelli, has upped the ante by starring in his own TV show on the National Geographic Channel.

The description of National Geographic Channel’s “Lonely Planet Roads Less Traveled: Spain” says:

“They’re sending one of their most intrepid photojournalists, Dominic Bonuccelli, into the country’s northern provinces. His mission, to get off the beaten track and discover what can be found down the road less traveled.”

Well played, Arizona.  Well played indeed.  You may have one this round, but ultimately Diggz shall emerge victorious.

I know this was last week, but I just caught this tonight. The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart takes the entire CNN network to task for “leaving it there”. Jon Stewart and the Daily Show at the top of their game, doing what they do best…

I normally don’t like to support Fox News.  But these 5 minutes are revealing:

UPDATE:  24 hours later and I’m extremely pleased.  They did a great job with this app, and I’ve noticed an uptick in traffic.

I’m always on the lookout for ways to make my life easier.    No longer than 5 minutes had past after I posted about MySpace Twitter integration (including a note about how I use the RSS Facebook import feature to import my blog into Facebook Notes), did I see a post from one of my Facebook friends regarding NetworkedBlogs.

The last time I looked at bringing this blog into Facebook was about 6 months ago.  I looked at several 3rd party apps, WordPress plugins, Facebook Connect…but none of them did what I wanted.

So I settled on the RSS import function of Facebook’s Notes application.  Which did just fine.  It’s a little slow on the import (maybe once an hour at best), and it never brought in any embedded content correctly (so if I ever just posted a video without an accompanying link, the post would just look blank).

Enter NetworkedBlogs.   They claim they’ll promote my blog to 400,000 users and solve my Facebook connect problem at the same time.  I have installed it and this is the first post I’m trying.  Let me know what you think.

Oh, and here’s an embedded video, just for S&G:

“Beck, squeezes maximum profit from a relatively small, deeply invested audience…The more the host is criticized, the more committed the original audience becomes.”   Can’t bring yourself to read the article?  Then read the reviews on the link below…

They later corrected the error, noting  that it might be used to by liberals to “discredit the undeniably massive turnout”.

She’s right to be worried — it absolutely will be used that way. If you don’t want to be discredited, then don’t tell a ridiculous (and easily disprovable) lie.
