I had wanted to say something about the horrible smear campaign Glenn Beck launched against the bright and talented Yosi Sergant. But my buddy Luke Wahl, who's lucky enough to call Sergant a friend, sums the story up better than I could. - John]
Hey, Glenn Beck. I hope you die in a fire, you unbelievable douche.
I used to dismiss Beck's mindless ranting as merely the moronic stammering of someone with the mental capacity of a badger on 'ludes. I didn't realize how dangerous, and maybe, powerful he was until his most recent bullshit attack took down a friend of mine.
Yosi Sergant was the man who essentially made Shepard Fairey's "Hope" poster happen. The iconic image of a campaign rooted in a movement for change and progressive thinking was born when Yosi got Shepard on board in January of 2008. They made the posters and handed them out at a rally at UCLA, and history was made. Yosi was without a doubt the ringleader of Obama's West Coast youth movement. A passionate, dedicated, thoughtful, energetic, articulate guy, Yosi rallied us all together and packed us on the Hope Express, non-stop to Washington. He
was the movement.
After the election, Yosi got his dream job, working at the National Endowment for the Arts as a spokesman. It's the work he was born to do. A talented publicist, Yosi could take his passion for art and music and spread the gospel of not only the relevance of these things, but the necessity. He brought graf artists into the White House, he showed rappers around the rose garden. Yosi is the epitome of the administration's cool, educated vibe.
All of this went poof yesterday for Yos. A dream was clouded, and an innocence that belief and dedication is all that one needs to make change was lost. Maybe forever. This is because Glenn Beck called the NEA's "United We Serve" plan Nazi propaganda, and Yosi, who spoke on behalf of the initiative, a chief exporter of the goods. He called my friend out by name, and in order to stifle the story, Yosi was asked to resign.
I find this Nazi shit to be especially amusing because Yosi, who is as jewy as Schlomo McJewberggreengoldstein, has also been an inspiring force for Israel-Palestine peace. He is a dedicated, peaceful lover of Israel, and a man smart enough to see what needs to happen to ensure happiness in the country he loves. To call Yosi a Nazi is like calling Glenn Beck an American Hero. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Yosi remains at the NEA now, but the dream has been sullied. Hopefully Obama was the cause for his not being dismissed. I have to hope that he stepped in to save him. Frankly, if Barack let this man fall because of Glenn Beck, no matter how much outcry there may be from the right, then he is not the man I voted for.
I hope that something great comes out of this for Yosi. He is a truly wonderful American, and Glenn Beck should be ashamed for what he has done. Then again, shame is an emotion exclusive to humans, and I am not so sure Glenn is one. If you see him on the street, punch him in the balls for me.
Fuck you, Glenn.

Okay, an obese, balding, dimwitted shitsack of a 21st century Mark Twain. And lazy. Don't forget lazy. Instead of doing any actual work, Captain Copy-Paste retweets the inane bleatings of the Senate Republican Committee. Verbatim. And calls it "work."
Barack Obama called Kanye West a jackass. Which means that in order to trash the president, Bill O'Reilly must rise to Kanye West's defense.
And yesterday we learned that George W. Bush pronounced Sarah Palin "not even remotely prepared" for high office.

The Distinguished Hillbilly from South Carolina has just set a new land speed record for public apology after his childish outburst during President Obama's address to a joint session of Congress. "This evening I let my emotions get the best of me when listening to the President’s remarks regarding the coverage of illegal immigrants in the health care bill," Rep. Joe Wilson (R-Trailer Park) said. "While I disagree with the President’s statement, my comments were inappropriate and regrettable. I extend sincere apologies to the President for this lack of civility."
Giant lying butter-demon Maggie Gallagher went to Maine! But not for the reasons you'd expect, like bulk-discount savings at a lobster outlet or to snorf up blueberry pie until she looked like that girl from the Willy Wonka movie. Nah, Mags was there to rally against civil marriage equality for gay Americans. "Most of the people in Maine were enthusiastic," she wheezes, "but one clergyman asked me, 'Shouldn't we live with our neighbors in peace?'"
President Obama better watch his uppity nigra mouth when he addresses Congress tomorrow night, according to Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Dixie):
Because my every utterance is precious and must be preserved for the edification of generations yet unborn, here is a comment I left on the Washington Examiner's asinine editorial decrying President Obama's planned Tuesday address to the nation's school children:
Barack Obama rose above the difficult circumstances of his childhood to achieve wide acclaim and success.
Operation Rescue jackass Randall Terry promises to "make life miserable" for Congress as members returning from August recess. "We will not go peacefully into the good night," he brays to the asswipe Washington Times.
Senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) has a brace of procedural objections at the ready should his Democratic colleagues attempt to ram through a health care reform bill on the strength of a simple majority.
