    The public option plan is deficit neutral? You're making that argument with a straight face and all? Fine, every trade has two sides.

    The rest of the lying liar centrists and I are going to go buy some more gold now, thanks. The poor will surely be awash in dollars ere long.

    @Unsolicited Advice:
    The public option would probably have a long-term net effect of reducing the budget deficit. This is not my opinion, that's the opinion of the CBO, which is obviously a radical maoist splinter organization.

    And I'm not sure what gold prices have to do with this, so....... yeah.

    Everything you said about the misallocation of resources (more highways, less mass transit) is true for schools, too

    Local funding of local transit and local schools with national funding of highways is a recipe for a big country filled with long roads driven by itinerant illiterates.

    Glenn Beck would never be stupid enough to run for office for these reasons:

    1) The hemmorhoid surgery meltdown, the substance abuse problems, all that stuff will get dragged out ad nauseum once he steps into the real public arena of a political race. He will get dragged so far through the mud he'll never recover.

    2) If he actually gets elected he'd have to deliver on some of the crazy shit he pretends to believe in.

    3) There's no money in being an elected official.

    I don't see why everyone is being so skeptical here about Glenn Beck seeing through his 100-year-plan. Obviously, part of Beck's plan is to not die. It's not like he's a charlatan slowly realizing his brand is in need of a new way of monetizing itself due to a lack of advertisers or something.

    Good news, everyone! With my 100-year plan, I'll never have to actually deliver on any of my schemes! It'll be your children that have to sort through the detritus of the failed Beck prophecies, and I'll be long dead by then--also, buried beneath a gigantic golden sculpture of my own pudgy face!

    I think the first iteration of this movement was much more stirring, original and effective. Fueled by classic idioms like Work Shall Set You Free, We Need Breathing Room and Lightning War, they set loins a-quivering so much better. To say nothing of their far superior costume designers.
    It's comparing fresh-squeezed to Tang, really.

    Whoa, so Beck is pro-choice and in favor of letting any consenting adult marry? I might have to rethink this guy!

    @sarrible: Zing! There was a post this week on Gawker about a pill for female arousal, and they quoted a male doctor as saying it was unnecessary, because lack of desire is natural as women get older. (Oh, the irony.) Oh, and some health insurance covers Viagra, but not contraception. Bring on the babies! Just don't expect us to feed, clothe or shelter them.

    @Lysergic Asset: Yeah, I couldn't find the energy to muster up a "fuck you" for that doctor when the post ran. Although now I'd like to say that I hope his dick rots and falls off.

    If Beck is so damn patriotic, why doesn't he do something really spectacular, like catapult himself into space with 4 roman candles jammed up his hoo-ha?

    I have a match.
