He is a lame, loony, lonesome, loathsome, ludicrous liar of a car salesman.
America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.
all which isn't singing is mere talking
and all talking's talking to oneself
(whether that oneself be sought or seeking
master or disciple sheep or wolf)
gush to it as diety or devil-
toss in sobs and reasons threats and smiles
name it cruel fair or blessed evil-
it is you (ne i)nobody else
drive dumb mankind dizzy with haranguing-
you are deafened every mother's son-
all is merely talk which isn't singing
and all talking's to oneself alone
but the very song of
(as mountainsfeel and lovers)
singing is silence

I think I am turning of TV for the weekend......( save for a couple of football games)

You really don't like Glenn Beck, America's Number One Performance Artist?
I'm not sure what would be more frightening, 60 minutes of his show or four quarters of Browns football.
ee cummings and Hunter S..dude, you have two of my favorite writers together here. ;)
Very timely I would say Jim.
The haters want to bring America to it's collective knees.
Even in the darkest hours of Bush's 8 year regime..I never wanted that.
Love the verse, but I have no desire to interact with beck in that way. ;-)
I think Beck's a nutcase with a classic case of post alcoholism wet brain, but I have to admit I couldn't have created a worse character to lead the loonies on the right.
Seriously, if I had the money and time to hire an actor, coach him on crazy shit to say, then buy him his own cable show, I could not have done better.
He makes Limbaugh and O'Reilly look like moderates--plus he cries and slings snot and gets those crazy googly eyes like no other.
I'll bet when he stands up to share at AA meetings, a lot of the members go out to their cars and take a nip of gin.
Randal... your take is the same as mine.... only I would prefer Moe Howard as a performance artist.
Hunter was always one of my heros. I am glad I never got to meet him.... he probably would have shot me in the foot.
TC.... you can never go wrong with Cummings.
Karen Zips.... Hey! If you ever raise the money and need a crazy for a show.....CALL ME! I work for BEER!!!
now i know -- beck's crying gets the roads wet
