The heck with Rush what about Glen Beck who is himself the father of a special needs child. He was speaking on his radio show last month to actress (and, apparently, artist) Mary Lynn Rajskub (of 24 fame) and asked her about paintings she does. When she says she particularly enjoys painting "retarded children and paintings of the insane," laughter can be heard on Beck's end of the line. Then Beck, trying to suppress laughs, starts to ask how much the paintings of the "retarded" children go for. When she asks if there are "people laughing in the background," he replies that, "we're not laughing, we're just imagining that those would be nice. ... Honestly, I've been looking for one of those, but I haven't seen them."
Unable to keep from laughing, Beck adds that he has "no idea if you really do this or you're just screwing with people." She's being serious, she insists. You can hear the entire audio at Media Matters.
So is Beck, who like Limbaugh Palin thanked in her book, next on the ritual condemnation list?
The fact that people will be shocked just goes to show how little attention people pay to their own finances. Am I an debt? Absolutely, but I know about it and have been following a plan to get out of it. It's depressing to know that some people think the best way to solve problems is to spend more money. I wonder what government gave them that idea??
Well, they sure won't be "too big to fail" next time. If this is how they say Thank You for letting them survive, let them all burn...
the mass mailings of applications the credit card companies mail out should have directions to your nearest tack shop so you can get fitted for the saddle that they will ride you to the grave with.....Citicorp and BOA are squirming around the weak regulations that were put in place to almost protect you from getting ripped off for using your own money... it is our tax money that keeps them afloat cause they were "too big to fail" ... and now the can collect fees for not using your predatory credit cards?? wheres our representation???...
