      I'm beginning to realize that botched butt surgery he had that almost killed him and drove him to suicide involved either a lightbulb or a gerbil.

      What was the most revealing portion of the show was the predictions made from previous earth days. Here is an example. http://www.ihatethemedia.com/earth-day-predictions-of-1970-the-reason-you-should-not-believe-earth-day-predictions-of-2009

        Yeah, with the exception of a few of them being really out there, what was really outstanding was there was no effort on the writer's behalf to refute any of them. But then again, that's how the right works, don't do any research to prove it wrong, just be derisive to dismiss what you don't believe in.

          Do you really have to refute the likes of these predictions made in 1970

        Fakeliberal, why don't you find a "source" with at least SOME credibility?

        The headline commentary on that site is nothing but a whine about that Miss California, who lost, fair and square to Miss North Carolina, and is now whining about sour grapes, "Wahhh!!! I won, But gays cheated me!"

        Now shut off Rush the Pillhead and Michael the Savage Weiner, dump Annthrax Coulter's garbage, and just try to think for yourself for a change.

          Well , according to the judge, it did cost her the title. Is that fair? I thought you stood for free speech , should her opinion have been held against her?  And I saw her comment a few times, she is certainly not the one doing the whining, that wonderful guy Perez is the whiner.

            It did *NOT* cost her her title, and besides, she was dead wrong on 1 or 2 points in her answer.

            Now quit lying.

              I guess you had more influence on the outcome than the judge who said it cost her. You always know better.

            This freakin' stupid Miss California thing is ridiculous.

            Nobody said she couldn't say what she wanted to say. This is not about free speech. How come anytime someone disagrees with you conservatives, you all cry about how we're impugning your free speech. Doesn't happen chief. Thing is, you say something in the public sphere that is stupid, be prepared to defend said remarks if people take offense to whatever it is you're saying.

            She lost. Get over it. It's a stupid beauty pageant, and we won't know if she lost because of her disjointed answer, or what it was comprised of. They are judged on their answers, and her answer, sucked.

      I know he is an unfunny idiot, but there is a need to properly dispose of fluorescent lightbulbs. 

      Of course, using Beck's logic, you shouldn't heat your home because of the possibility of CO poisoning.

        Actually that is Al Gore's logic about heating the home, at least other people homes. But you are right about the bulbs.

      Man, i think i need a shower now after watching that.

      So this is what passes for right-wing lunatic humor, is it?

      Today beck & rush had a good old laugh at energy-efficient light bulbs, chopping down trees and let your car sit outside and idle all day long.

      Reason #1001 why i do not subscribe to their beliefs.

      Only Beck could get away with dousing a guy with "gasoline" and threatening to kill another with a light bulb.

      Yes, the fluorescent light bulbs are hazardous in the sense that they have mercury in them.  However, as a society, we only recycle about 3% of these bulbs.  We need to work on better efforts to recycle these bulbs appropriately.

      Yes, Beck has a good point about the bulbs, but he handles his point like he was wielding a razor.

      To make my point, the best way to help the environment and relieve the taxed energy grid?  Turn your lights off when you aren't using them, Glenn.  And for God's sake stop holding potentially-dangerous objects.

      I think Mr Beck has lost his mind.
