Here are some webisodes of all 18 episodes of Freaks and Geeks. It's astounding to me that this show was canceled before they even aired the entire 1st season, and it went on to win so many awards and become one of the most beloved shows in TV history.

He's a mormon.

Sounds like a basket case - guess some of this could explain his fits of rage and emotional instability both on his radio and TV programs.

All that stuff I say, it's just for ratings. Advertisers love ratings.

He's uncovering 'Robert Creamer', a convicted felon, married to a congresswoman, who attended that last dinner party along with the famous 'party crasher couple' last week!

Glenn is going thru this felons book which was written during his almost 2yr stint in federal prison, 2006, it's sickeningly familiar verbage will make you nauseas re:health care bill that is trying to be rammed thru.
This felon might have just 'written' part of this healthcare bill!!!!!

Gee, it sounds like Obama and Reid read and reread that felons' book!!!

Beck is waking up America???

Dear god, help us if the contingent of Beck followers is a substantial portion of "America"!

Guess that's the best they can do.
This thread has completely been hijacked and might as well be closed. Apparently, they fear the truth, so have to divert.
I'm sure by tonight or tomorrow morning, someone else will post another thread on the topic and perhaps that one will stay on target. Sans the
elementary posters. Maybe they will be taking a nap on their map at that time.
The threshold for what you consider intellectualism is worryingly low.

At any rate, can someone tell me what I'm supposed to be outraged about now? So far I have some guy who was in prison who is married to a Congresswoman who was invited to the president's party.

A resounding yawn.

Oh he's just another one of those people the president has surrounded himself with. What is this, the tenth shady character? I wonder how long before he's thrown under the bus.

Michael Savage? Correct me if I'm wrong, but is that the "lol ur autistic" Michael Savage?

Half of America used to be alcoholic meth addicts? So then why do you have a problem with Obama supposedly taking healthcare advise from a felon?

The person was the topic. Not bugs bunny. Not his character. Not Freaks and Geeks. Not his familial problems. Not the guys name who was brought up.

I don't care if you go off topic but the fact so many insults came out without one of those insulting posters addressing the person referred to in the OP is more telling than anything else.
