Who needs Comedy Central when you already have Fox News? Seriously. But we briefly check in, if only to understand America’s anger and paranoia. This is Glenn Beck, currently number one on the NYT bestseller list, on climate change a while back, over tears no doubt: Let me tell you something. For those of you who think climate change is real and manmade, you should know this, that -- I mean, you don't have to be a socialist, I guess, to believe in global warming. It's just that almost everyone who does believe in global warming is a socialist. I mean, believes in manmade global warming that now can be fixed and reversed or whatever. And we've got the tools to fix it. Almost everybody who says, "I've got a plan to fix it" is a socialist.

Or something.

Beck actually says it best: The evil empire, if you will, is back. Does this at least partially explain the City Hall theatrics in Spokane and Town Hall madness sweeping the nation?

We’ve been wondering for a while.
