Seriously.

Two speeches this week – one to children, one to the nation – and another speech on Monday to Wall Street. On top of it all, he is still doing his weekly address online every Saturday morning. (I wonder when he films these and if he does more than one at a time or if the camera is just there for whenever he is in the ‘mood’.)

Looking at that site further, apparently this guy gives like 9000 speeches a day. When does he have time to do his job? I respect the whole importance in communication thing and for the most part would encourage it, but isn’t this volume just a tad time-consuming?

Is it normal for the US President to communicate this much? I honestly don’t recall seeing any past US Presidents on my television this frequently. Am I being ignorant?

In comparison, I believe the last time the Canadian Prime Minister addressed the nation was in December 2008. It was a pretty important deal about the potential collapse/take-over of our government, and even then his speech was only around 4 minutes long AND it was televised at 7 pm, as to not disrupt primetime shows.

Short, to the point, and considerate of our regularly scheduled programming and viewing habits (and the networks sensitivity to potential loss of advertising dollars.) Plus, it was filmed in a wooden room and began in a way that was like we just walked into his wooden office and interupted him from reading. All that was missing was a crackling fire in the corner and him wearing a cardigan.

In the wake of the controversy over the allegations of whether Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990, Glenn Beck and his handlers are in the process of trying to shut down people’s first amendment rights and freedom to search for the truth. Certainly does not sound like someone who claims to “love” his country.

While no one is saying that Beck did commit these atrocious crimes, more questions have been raised with his continued silence while his handler’s claim that the site in question should be closed. In the complaint sent, it notes:

“The Domain Name gleenbeckrapedandmurderedayounggirlin1990.com fully incorporates and is confusingly similar to trademarks in which Complainants [Glenn Beck and Mercury Radio Inc.] own rights …” (emphasis added)

Confusingly similar? I’m not saying that there is any truth to this rumour, but it does make you wonder why Glenn Beck would claim to have any “similarities” to it, unless there was any truth to it.

On Glenn Beck’s show on September 8^th, short of admitting or rejecting these allegations – as any America-loving-person who did not rape or murder a girl in 1990 would obviously do – Beck informed his viewer that he used to experience blackouts, thereby keeping open the possibility that he did rape and murder a girl in 1990 . No one is claiming to have all the facts. All we are doing is asking questions. Sadly, if with this in mind maybe even Glenn Beck will never know the truth.

“by the end of this week people will go to jail” – Glenn Beck on Fox & Friends September 8, 2009

Boeing 737 Aeromexico  plane has been hijacked in Mexico with up to 104 passengers. Apparently the three hijackers are threatening to blow it up unless they get to speak to the president of Mexico.

The plane is currently landed in Mexico City.

It is live right now on CNN with Rick Sanchez translating the news to for us English speakers. Here is a link to the live feed.

Reports are saying that the passengers have been released. Interviews with some passengers note that most were not aware that the plane was hijacked. All passengers will be separated into groups and interviewed to make sure that there aren’t any of the hijackers pretending to be passengers.

Update: there were 5 suspected hijackers and they have been taken into custody. And they didn’t have a bomb.

It has almost become second-nature to me to immediately go to Twitter to find out what is happening with a site when it has gone down.  But it appears that Twitter has been on and off for the last day. When not working, you see a message that says “HTTP Server Error 503 No available server to handle this request”, which basically means:

“The Web server (running the Web site) is currently unable to handle the HTTP request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server.”

So.. too many tweets or someone is working on it. Or too many tweets AND someone is working on it.

If you are lucky, you may even come across the other boring standard message:

So what am I supposed to do now? TechCrunch provides a great list of suggestions to abide your time while waiting patiently for Twitter to return.

Hopefully, Twitter will update their blog soon to let us know what’s going on, because it is getting pretty annoying. I hope Rick Sanchez’s show isn’t ruined too much because of this.

For those that are concerned about what Obama will be saying to school children tomorrow, you can relax as the text for his speech has been released.

I’ve read it and there isn’t anything in it to fear. No, Obama doesn’t try to indoctrinate your children into a life of communism, or whatever it is that some people are all up in arms about. And no, this is not the first time a president has addressed kids in school, either.

But for those that are still convinced that the speech may contain a hidden message that you do not want your children to hear and be brainwashed by, I give you Word Cloud Analysis.

This neat online tool takes text that you submit and generates a “word cloud” that gives “greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text”, so the more the word is repeated, the bigger it appears.

If you are curious and would like to compare, I also created a word cloud for both Bush Sr.’s and Reagan’s speeches and all three can be found below (you can click on them to view them at their full size):

Obama’s speech for September 8, 2009

Bush’s Speech, October 10, 1991

Reagan’s Speech November 14, 1988

(Note: there is a brief Q and A section that I didn’t include in the Word Cloud Analysis for Reagan’s speech.)

Can you really trust these eyes?

It is really creepy to think that when I am watching Glenn Beck and he is looking at the camera passionately about all the things we should most definitely worry about – like how the government may or may not be thinking of ways to reduce the population such as adding chemicals to the water to sterilize the population – that Glenn’s eyes might be that of a cold and calculated murderer that raped and murdered a girl in 1990. I am appalled that I may have been mistaken. I believed that Glenn Beck brought us the truth and could be trusted, but if these rumours that Glenn Beck allegedly raped and murdered a girl in 1990 are true, then I don’t know what to think.

So far the facts that I have seen on the internet:

1. Glenn beck was alive in 1990
2. There were girls in 1990
3. Glenn Beck has arms and legs that make him capable of committing a crime and fleeing the crime scene.
4. Glenn Beck has yet to publically confirm or deny the allegation, nor has he provided any proof otherwise
5. A Poll confirms that 83% of concerned people believe the Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990.

So Glenn, are you going to answer these allegations? Where is the evidence that you did not rape and murder a girl in 1990? Your silence is deafening.

And WHY hasn’t the Mainstream Media (MSM) asked these questions? Are they afraid that it might be true that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990? We are all asking questions and we may not have all the answers, but it is vital that Glenn beck proves that he isn’t a rapist.

A grassroots campaign has started so we can get the answers we deserve and can be found here.

Here is a partial scan of the alleged police report regarding Glenn Beck raping and murdering a girl in 1990.

Here is a C & P of the story that broke on iReport:

May 10, 1990, 11 year old Robin Cornell and her 32 year old babysitter, Lisa Storey were found beaten, raped, and smothered to death in Cape Coral, Florida. Police are now interviewing local detectives to re-open the case, but if they don’t find any new leads by the end of the year it will be closed. They are also looking into airing an episode on Americas Most Wanted. This town desperately needs your help in solving this case.

Beck was also linked to the rape and murder of seven-year old Margaret Shrader in Harris County, Texas in 1990.

Update: The story is getting a lot of hits from people curious as to whether the allegations that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a girl in 1990 is true or not, so that must explain why the page currently isn’t working. That or the mainstream media is too afraid that the truth will come out. But you can find more links to evidence here, here and here.

I don’t know about this. I should really purchase myself a chalkboard to write it out to see all the connections. And I recommend that you do too.
