Glenn Beck, as seen from across the pond.
Have seen people talk about the Glenn Back rally here and there, and as always I flashed back to this wonderful piece by Charlie Brooker. (For those unfamiliar with him, this is how he's described on wiki: Charlton "Charlie" Brooker is a British journalist, comic writer and broadcaster. His style of humour is savage and profane, with surreal elements and a consistent satirical pessimism.) Anyway, here he is, commenting on American news. The Glenn Beck segment starts at approx. 4:30, although I'd recommend watching the whole thing.
Oh! And there's A LOT of swearing.

Oh, I do love a good clean-out. I think it's good for the soul. But there's no denying that it can be massively draining to go about. Good luck to you!
Thank you! And to be honest I wouldn't mind it if I could just to do it peace and quiet, but there's a week until the children go back to school, so everything gets interrupted twenty million times...
I always feel like, with this show, I sit down to jot down a few thoughts . . . and then a dissertation comes out.
Well that's just how I write, generally... ;)
For your sake, though, I hope it will stay manageable.
Thank you. I'll try to stay on topic. (Which reminds me - the kiss? SO MUCH WRONG! *shudders*)
it's so hard to judge behavior with so little context.

Life would seem dull and purposeless, surely, without Tina Fey's Sarah Palin impression?
"And I can see Russia from my house!" Ah yes, those were INCREDIBLE! (And I've seen them all - I was following US politics v. closely before the election. it was almost like having a new fandom. Bit scarier though.

I don't know the rules of British games. Do I owe you a Coke now, or something?

Me too, really. But the whole tendency is
horriblywonderfully exacerbated by season 5.(Which reminds me - the kiss? SO MUCH WRONG! *shudders*)
IKR? So, so wrong. Watching through my fingers levels of wrong.

Ah, yes. It was quite a good show. I actually started watching the election results on BBC America because they started an hour before all the other outlets and because I like their sober approach. It was 1) hilarious to watch them try to explain the electoral college to British people and 2) so sedate I got antsy and was downright relieved to switch over to CNN.

Oh not at all. I just love it when I can match people's icons. :)

Did you see Matt and Karen on The One Show? The presenters talked A LOT about the kiss (and even showed it) and the two of them were just sat there looking all uncomfortable, poor things.
Ah, yes. It was quite a good show.
It was, wasn't it? With plenty of batshit insane to keep everyone entertained. Look, I even have an icon! :)

I heard about it, and it was like "I would never be able to watch that" (interviews are often a bit uncomfortable for me to watch anyway? Like, I feel like I'm being invasive.) So I found a clip online of just the bit with the batter walking--that was fun.

Lovely :-)

This one certainly was.

Oh yes, loved that. Esp Matt being all Doctor-y and explaining things! :)
