This is just plain icky
Aug. 17th, 2010 09:40 pmGlenn Beck, conservative Fox News host, is planning a "Restoring Honor" rally, with former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin among the scheduled speakers. It will take place on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, 47 years to the day after Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech there.
No good can come of this. No way he can match the soaring words of MLK JR. Or even the gorgeous voice of Marian Anderson. After the rally is done, I will sprinkle holy water on the steps and burn sage to purify the spot.

This, OTOH, rocks

The Supreme Court has upheld a $20,000 fine against a leader of the movement challenging President Barack Obama's citizenship.
The high court on Monday refused to block a federal judge's October 2009 ruling that required California lawyer and dentist Orly Taitz to pay the $20,000 fine for filing a "frivolous" litigation. The judge said Taitz attempted to misuse the federal courts to push a political agenda.
Taitz sued in Georgia federal court on behalf of Army Capt. Connie Rhodes. Rhodes sought to avoid deployment to Iraq by claiming Obama wasn't born in the United States.
Justice Samuel Alito on Monday rejected Taitz's second request to block the sanctions. Justice Clarence Thomas had rejected the request earlier.
Can we FINALLY put this to rest?
