Glenn Beck, Oracle For The Criminally Insane

Aren't we all glad that Glenn Beck is around to explain American History to us? Some of us may have had it all wrong. Who would have guessed that Stalin created Social Security, the White Album was an evil plot to destroy society, and that Franklin Roosevelt rose from the dead in 2009?

And he dabbles in world history, too, with his cringeworthy little jaunt to Auschwitz.

Reds

How is it that the color red, now semi-abandoned by communism, has been appropriated by the republicans? Are there some closet Bolsheviks in the GOP? Really, one would think they would go with stick figures or fingerpaints as a graphic tool; those would mean more to their target audience.

This color scheme didn't seem to be pervasive prior to the (stolen) election of 2000. Then it was all over the place.
