A video posted to YouTube a few weeks ago making the rounds across the internet apparently shows Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck having Vicks applied under his eyes in order to cry on cue for a photo shoot.
I don’t know the context but I’ll leave for you to decide.
Odd:
Always watch where you’re going:
Teen Girl Falls In Open Manhole While Texting
Alexa Longueira, a high school sophomore, was walking along Victory Boulevard near Travis Avenue on Staten Island Wednesday evening when she felt the earth move and was plunged into smelly darkness.
She said the manhole she fell in to was left open and unattended with no warning signs or orange cones. She said two workers with the New York City Department of Environmental Protection failed to secure the area as they prepared to flush the sewer.
“It was just really gross and it was shocking and scary,” she said. “Because of their careless mistake I got hurt.”
Longueira has deep cuts and bruises and said she now has nightmares about falling, but she also did admit she was texting at the time.

4 Shot, Dozens taken hostage in Binghamton NY:
Deaths confirmed at N.Y. hostage-taking
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – Several people were killed Friday when a gunman walked into an immigrant services center and opened fire, Gov. David Paterson said.
“I speak for all of New York when I offer my prayers for the victims and families of this tragedy,” Paterson said hours after the gunman shot several people and took dozens hostage. The gunman had already blocked the back door with his car, authorities said.
NBC’s Pete Williams cited city and state officials as saying that as many 13 people might have been killed. But Williams cautioned that the information was very preliminary and may change by because police were still searching the building.Law enforcement officials also believed the gunman was dead, Williams said, but they were not certain how he died.
Two people were seen in handcuffs as they left the building, but Williams said they were not suspects and that police were simply taking extra precautions as people left the building.
Authorities scheduled a news conference for 4:30 p.m. ET.
At least 41 people were in the American Civic Association building at the time of the shooting, The Binghamton Press & Sun Bulletin reported.
The gunman had a high-powered rifle, Mayor Matthew Ryan told the newspaper. Law enforcement sources later told NBC News that several weapons were recovered from the shooting scene. (Source: MSNBC)
Fox News is really scared about what might happen, and oblivious to what already has. This is what that has been said in day 1 of the inauguration.
Seriously, Fox News is getting a little out of hand.
I am particularly concerned about the time when a McCain supporter told McCain that she does not trust Obama because he is an Arab. To that McCain refuted that Obama isn’t and that he is a decent, family man.
What struck me is not so much the insensitivity of the question but McCain’s answers. McCain seemingly suggested that Arabs aren’t decent family men.
Colin Powell recently gave Obama his endorsement. Powell remarked the accusations of Obama being a Muslim.:
Powell: I’m also troubled by, not what Sen. McCain says, but what members of the party say, and it is permitted to be said such things as: “Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.” Well, the correct answer is: he is not a Muslim. He’s a Christian. He’s always been a Christian.
But the really right answer is: What if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer is: No, that’s not America. Is there something wrong with some 7-year-old Muslim-American kid believing he or she can be President?
Yet I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion: he’s a Muslim, and he might be associated with terrorists. This is not the way we should be doing it in America.
He’s right. So what if Obama is a muslim? Does it make the president less American? Whatever happened to liberty? Wasn’t it stated in the Bill of Rights that all men are entitled to exercise religion of their choice?
It’s funny someone would sought an injunction against God. But God has it all prepared.
God Wins In Nebraska Court
Nebraska state Sen. Ernie Chambers sought an injunction against God last year for widespread death and destruction. Judge Marlon Polk threw out the suit, saying there’s no way to properly notify the defendant. You can’t serve papers on a suspect with no address. Chambers says he may appeal. He says God is aware of the charges because he is all-knowing. (Source: NPR)
