Glenn Beck's poetry problem
Glenn Beck has launched a blog to counter the problem that "Too many important stories are overlooked." One such important story concerns two America-hating professors who supposedly plan to supply GPS smartphones to Mexicans seeking to cross the border illegally. Death and Taxes reports on the situation's most fascinating wrinkle:
Reportedly, the phones also have “explicit poetry.” Not quite sure how this is helping the Mexicans. Is there an explicit poetry shortage in Mexico?
Not only does this not seem to qualify as an “important story,” there seems to be nary a “fact” of any import to the broader world contained in the entire piece. In fact, it seems downright bizarre. Explicit poetry? This is what the right wing has been all up in a huff about?
As always, when things go wrong, everyone always blames the GPS. And poets.
