Bad things always seem to happen when Glenn Beck and history collide. The latest example occurred today on FNC’s Fox and Friends, where Glenn Beck claimed that the United States bought Alaska in 1950s so that we could drill for oil. Beck apparently got Alaska’s date of purchase and the year that it became a state confused.
In a huge blow to the opponents of healthcare reform, Wal-Mart has come out in support of a mandate that employers provide affordable healthcare to their employees. Wal-Mart is the nation’s largest employer, and its uninsured employees are one of the biggest drains on the healthcare system. Wal-Mart’s position creates a giant crack in the coalition against healthcare reform.

Coleman said, “The Supreme Court of Minnesota has spoken and I respect its decision and will abide by the result.”
Rush Limbaugh reacted to the news the news that Al Franken has been certified the winner of the Minnesota Senate race by the state Supreme Court by comparing the Minnesota recount to the recount in the Iranian presidential election. He claims this election was stolen from Coleman. I believe that Limbaugh loves the GOP more than he loves America.

President Obama continued to walk a fine line with his position on Iran today.

The human spirit always longs for freedom and justice. The protest we’re witnessing right now is a result of pure, raw humanity at its best. It’s universal. It’s something we all share.

Much of the debate surrounding Sarah Palin’s feud with David Letterman this week has been based around questions over whether Palin overplayed her hand, or if it is wise for someone who wants to be president to be spending their time feuding with a late night host, but there is deeper motive at work here. Palin is trying to use Letterman to motivate the GOP base, and reignite the culture wars.
Glenn Beck has been popping up on FNC outside of his own program, including last night’s O’Reilly Factor to claim that he never mentioned the conspiracy theory of FEMA concentration camps, the problem for Beck is that in March he did
