      Anybody thinking that old Glennie had something else removed last week besides his appendix?

        rwmacdonald2091 --

        If you are referring to his brain, I believe that was taken out years ago. I heard it was sitting in a jar on a shelf, labeled "Abby Normal".

        (In case anyone missed it. That was a reference to "Young Frankenstein".)

      Um Becky in state prisons some convicts depending upon their charge are allowed to work outside the prison. They do not make much but it is done teach prisoners to return to society to look for a job. Also some prisoners can still pay child support while working.

      I guess Becky does not beileve in rehabilitation. You recieved rehabilitation for your addiction why not for convicts?

        Much as my initial thought. The trend of neglecting rehabilitation, or the "corrections" in the department titles, has been happening for decades. Now someone's actually trying to make a positive difference and it becomes a "conspiracy."

      its really amazing that this man has a radio show and a tv show when he spews this garbage that makes abaolutely no sense.

      first off not all "convicts" are the same (like for example drunk drivers or pot growers, u know non-violent people)

      so is Beck anti-charity work and anti-service? I guess he is when a black man is President.

      Who else said this exact same crap a little earlier in the day? OH thats right - Glenn Beck. Making a dumb point twice, doesn;t make it equivalent to one smart points. ITS STILL TWO DUMB POINTS. But you just brought in all this other extraneous information in.

      Its not that no one was paying attention - if their was no opposition it means people voted yet on it. They still had to see the proposal. Its not like they just skipped over it and assumed yes. But you ain't getting much support in NY for your teabagging - sorry glenn, Your base doesn't quite make it this far north. Yea there might be a few but not enough to overturn anything important on a state level. yOU COULDNT even get your puppet into a seat that was dominated by repugs for 120 years. That shows how little people up here care about your rants.

      Glenn Beck has to be one of the most ignorant men of America. Is it so crazy to have non-violent offenders work, and learn how to become de-institutionlized? We lock them up like animals, and when their time is done we let them loose expecting them to return to society some how better than when they went in. Does anybody see a problem with this? Teaching these PEOPLE, because lets not forget that is really what they are, to work and socialize before they get out is at least attempting to prepare them for life outside prison walls.
