Glenn Beck is taking his breakup with Fox News to the spin zone - and insisting that hey, it's not you, it's me.
The controversial, chalkboard-toting host took the last few minutes of his show on Wednesday to explain his departure, at one point comparing himself to Paul Revere.
"When I took this job I didn't take it because it was going to be a career for me," Beck said.
"Paul Revere did not get up on the horse and say, 'I'm going to do this for the rest of my life.' He didn't do it. He got off the horse at some point and fought in the Revolution and then he went back to silversmithing." _________________ It has been said that "curiosity" killed the cat but it might be more accurately stated that "seriousity" killed the cat.
I wish I had listened to old GB more as I could have learned a lot about what could be said and what couldn't be said on the mass airwaves by a so-called media maverick.
Don't really think he will completely disappear though. _________________ It has been said that "curiosity" killed the cat but it might be more accurately stated that "seriousity" killed the cat.
1775: THIRTEEN COLONIES. “The British are coming, the British are coming!” What a great story, Paul Revere riding through the night with his famous message. Makes you feel all tingly and patriotic. But hold on to your tricorn hats, because it turns out that this story is just another lie. The cry might better be, “The Bullshit is coming, the Bullshit is coming!” The truth is that poor old Paul was stopped by British troops and never delivered his message. So why do we believe this nonsense? Largely due to the fact that, in 1860, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote the poem, Paul Revere’s Ride which starts with the immortal lines, “Listen, my children, and you shall hear/Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere.” Longfellow’s glorification of Revere was pure invention. A better question might be, why does the falsehood about Paul Revere remain, like so many others, not only uncorrected in the public mind but continue to be nurtured and spread by the mass media?
lol.....definitely worth looking into the truth claims made by mtwsfh.blogspot.

LOL...nothing seems to surprise me!...Control for the sake of control is always a possibility. Sometimes there is not even a logical equitable motive. Could just be good old fashioned control via the spread of a culturally popular fairy tale. But a rooted story of explanation would be that much more interesting. _________________ It has been said that "curiosity" killed the cat but it might be more accurately stated that "seriousity" killed the cat.

Thanks for the refreshing confirmation of all things all-too-human. There can be no doubt that the irresistible pull of the profane needs to be converted into the profound so that it can be "cleansed" of its content and appearance.
A most interesting trove of truth. _________________ The grand design, reflected in the face of Chaos.

Caught a GB episode last night. His opening chalk board said;
"CALL 911 YOU ARE BEING ROBBED"
Then he calls out the responsible partiesor at least at the involved parities.
I wish I could find the opening scene on youtube. I could find part II but not the opening scene. I find that interesting tool
If you were GB and knew the official truth of 911 and the ones responsible but couldn't say it in PLANESITE on his mainstream platform but could allude to it; yesterdays episode would have been a signal to all the truthers that he gets it but can't completely say it.
below is as much as I could find from yesterdays episode. Be great if someone could find a post. Just need opening scene. Good overall show though.
