busby1013I'm feeling animosity today. So I will express it the way Jon would: by ripping into it as cleverly as possible. No censorship!
This year, to commemorate the worst tragedy the United States has seen in decades, American History Professor Glenn Beck has rallied his huddled masses and suggested that we reflect on the feelings we all had after 9/11:
listen to Beck's feelings
*Jon leans forward on the desk, hands clasped, a bemused look in his eyes* Hmmm, I don't seem to recall that particular feeling. Why is that, you think? Hmmm... Perhaps it's because I'm not a total douchebag.
But even total douchebags need a way to exorcise those angry demons of fear and helplessness we all get when our country is attacked. This year, Beck's minions came out in mobs and rallies and descended upon our nation's capitol, proving that once you've teabagged, you can never get enough.
CNN reporting... or at least attempts reporting
Come on, teabaggers! The Hitler mustached-Obama portraits and the Pelosi as Hitler posters... those are so last month! Can we see something maybe in a perfunctory Russia comparison?
Poster 1
Oh yeah, that's better. How about a pretense that we actually pay attention to news that comes outside of SportsCenter?
Poster 2
Oh yeah baby, because an illegal Honduran coup is *so* much cooler than an American election. Voting is soooo last year.
