Let me know if you ever screw up your courage. <G> I think Fox News is nearly as funny as The Daily Show, though unintentionally. Glen Beck is a different story. I was taught not to make fun of the mentally ill, especially since some of them may kill you if you do. The latest hoot is this 9/12 March on Washington. Beck and the other goofs say 2 million protestors showed up. The National Park Service, which regulates such things, said it was 75,0000. Now there have always been discrepancies between the Park Service count and the protestors count. But this was not the differential between a man and a woman when they discuss the size of his member. This was more like Baghdad Bob on Amphetamines. <G> The right wingers knew they were lying, so they showed pictures of previous protests to illustrate their grotesquely inflated numbers. <G> That being said, the mainstream media did give the protest the cold shoulder. 75,000 is a big number. The fact that none of them were black or Latino makes that number even more impressive.
