1. Anyone from CT remember listening to Beck on KC101 in the early 90's?
He was tool then too. I just wish someone would buy his house already, he put it up for sale last December. He lives in mansion in New Canaan, CT surrounded by a huge fence. Living in liberally elite New England...somehow, that makes me laugh. Maybe some other state can stand him. Also, I didn't know he tried to go to Yale. I doubt he could even have made it at Eastern CT U.

3. Somebody did something similar
during the last presidential campaign. Sorry, can't recall where I saw it or the name of the person who posted it. But it referenced Palin's dissing of Obama's work as a community organizer. The gist of the piece was: while Obama was working to bring security to hundreds of families in Chicago, Palin was entering beauty pageants.
