    RE: Frum. Please accept my official apology on behalf of the Canadian people. Not for Celine Dion, though. You people brought that on yourselves.

    I LOVE Fox News. Love it! Here's a game. Start with CNN. . . so, there you are watching CNN. . . Madagascar coup, check,. . . some crazy shit going on in Pakistan, check, . . . after a while, all this hard news coverage gets kind of boring. It's just one hard news story after another.


    So after you're lulled with breaking news, switch quickly over to Fox News and BAM! CRAZY BIG DICK CHIMP LADY! IS OBAMA A MARXIST?? UP NEXT: MICHELLE MALKIN WILL TELL US WHAT'S THE WHAT! AND WILL THAT DAY-OLD PIZZA IN YOUR FRIDGE KILL YOU? (CUE SPOOKY MUSIC) AND LATER ON THE FACTOR (CUE SWOOPY CRAZY MUSIC): PELOSI FLIES A JET! WHAT A CUNT!


    And after about 10 minutes, when you're heart rate is up and you're tempted to actually TALK IF NOT YELL AT YOUR TELEVISION, switch back to boring-old CNN and find out what's actually going on in the fact-based world.


    It's a fun game. I love Fox News.

    @RealTomatoKetchup: Also I should point out that I watch the international editions of these networks. The US edition of CNN tends to be dumbed down -- perhaps more swirly graphics and primary colors to keep Americans entertained? As far as I can tell the international edition of FN is about the same as its US version. In that way FN is less pretentious.

    @gawkimo: DirectTV's News Mix channel is great fun for this exercise. Just watching the different video streams from CNN, MSNBC, Fox and Headline News (which has repositioned itself to be Fox News Lite) can be hilarious during certain breaking news stories.

    Mr. Beck has been off his meds since moving to FOX News.


    Go back on the Namblatol; 200mg in the morning and again before bed.
    Try the Xenophile again too. You seemed happier and your weeping episodes were less frequent.

    And Glenn Beck's glorious answer is: "It's not my job to help Republicans win elections."

    Man, Beck is a year's worth of steady White Castle consumption away from Limbaugh. So close. He's really closing that gap.

    Folks, hate to break it to you, but whatever party is experiencing defeat turns to conspiracy theories and fear to cajole and/or satisfy its constituency. Examples: 9/11 conspiracy theories, Patriot Act outrage, "The-Evangelicals-are-coming! Run for the hills!", etc., etc. Granted, Glen Beck looks strangely like a chicken nugget and might very well have the brains of one.

    @formerly it takes a lot to laugh: It sorta was. It didn't authorize wiretaps or anything, but it got lumped in with a lot of stuff the Bush administration was just doing illegally for reasons of its own without consequence.

    @Sproing: I wasn't saying every person in every party is at one point or another a conspiracy theorist. But all parties do have their standout theorists that spout nonsense.
    Political scientist Richard Hofstatder identified the 'paranoid style in American politics' back in the 60s, I believe.

    Why do I have the feeling that before the end of Obama's first term, Christopher Hitchens will have a regular column in NR?


    And I like Christopher Hitchens. But this seems like a marriage too perfectly hell-crafted not to happen.
