So Michael Savage thinks Glen Beck is about to crack!?
Isn't that a wee bit like one crackpot saying another crackpot is, well, about to crack?!

And I Quote
After the recent recount activity in Minnesota -- where Franken increased his lead over Sore Loser Coleman -- the question for many is no longer whether Coleman is going to lose; rather, it’s when he’s going to lose.
From a P.R. standpoint, it wasn’t good news for Coleman that the legal challenge he initiated ended up (so far) handing more votes to Franken.

Pentagon preps for economic warfare
" ... They all have hills to fly them on except for little Taigu." Games without frontiers ...
The Pentagon sponsored a first-of-its-kind war game last month focused not on bullets and bombs — but on how hostile nations might seek to cripple the U.S. economy, a scenario made all the more real by the global financial crisis.
The two-day event near Ft. Meade, Maryland, had all the earmarks of a regular war game. Participants sat along a V-shaped set of desks beneath an enormous wall of video monitors displaying economic data, according to the accounts of three participants.
“It felt a little bit like Dr. Strangelove,” one person who was at the previously undisclosed exercise said.
But instead of military brass plotting America’s defense, it was hedge-fund managers, professors and executives from at least one investment bank, UBS – all invited by the Pentagon to play out global scenarios that could shift the balance of power between the world’s leading economies.
Their efforts were carefully observed and recorded by uniformed military officers and members of the U.S. intelligence community.
With Advocates’ Help, Squatters Call Foreclosures Home
This is outrageous!
Ms. Omega, 48, is one of the beneficiaries of the foreclosure crisis. Through a small advocacy group of local volunteers called Take Back the Land, she moved from a friend’s couch into a newly empty house that sold just a few years ago for more than $400,000.
Michael Stoops, executive director of the National Coalition for the Homeless, said about a dozen advocacy groups around the country were actively moving homeless people into vacant homes — some working in secret, others, like Take Back the Land, operating openly.
In addition to squatting, some advocacy groups have organized civil disobedience actions in which borrowers or renters refuse to leave homes after foreclosure.
The groups say that they have sometimes received support from neighbors and that beleaguered police departments have not aggressively gone after squatters.
They have no voice
The repugicans have spent the first hundred days of the 111th Congress mostly down and shut out.
While there's no realistic hope that they'll be more involved in some upcoming policy decisions.
They still have a long way to go before the public see them as constructive and cohesive rather than obstructionist and unruly.
