Glenn Beck

As most of you probably know by now...(I've gotten many emails about it)...Glenn Beck recently revealed that he has macular dystrophy, a disease that could cause him to go blind by next year or before. He revealed this news while giving a speech at Salt Lake during his Revival Tour.  Beck teared up when telling the news, and explaining how his love of reading may be lost when going blind...then, becoming his more...humorous self...regained his composure by saying he'd probably be too lazy to learn Braille.  There is a chance that Beck won't go blind...
Macular Dystrophy is a very RARE condition, and is also inherited...Beck said he went to the doctor because he couldn't focus his eyes...
GLENN BECK CANNOT GO BLIND!!!!

Family Bonding in Maine!

First of all, Obama and family is on yet ANOTHER family vacation, of course while in the middle of a crisis...but at this point, what else is expected from the White House inhabitants?  Then we hear of the security provided for the weekend trip to Mount Desert Island.  It costs these towns so much money to provide security, and I feel sorry for the conservatives living there forced to pay the taxes of a president they DON'T WANT VISITING!  Then, as if descriptions of what the first family was WEARING and a stalker-like itinerary of everything the family did that day WASN'T enough, we hear of the first dog, the lovely Portuguese Water Dog, (By the way, do we call dogs of the White House "first dogs"?? That sounds SO stupid!)arriving on the private tarmac in a separate plane!  Maybe because the regular JUMBO JET that Obama uses (and spends HOW much money per flight?? Just a question) to fly around the world in couldn't fit on the tiny airport tarmac of little old Mount Desert Island they felt the need to add to the quantity of airplanes they flew, because after all, THE PRESIDENT IS VISITING! He can't arrive like any other person!!  The article, "advertised" on Drudge, links to the Morning Sentinel, a Maine newspaper, written by Rebekah Metzler, titled "White House Wanderers Tour Acadia" goes into EXTREME detail over the time lapse between the family's departure from the airplane, the attire that the President and First Lady wore, and an exact play-by-play of everything the family did that day. Glad we know what's important, or at least the Morning Sentinel does! "Look, honey, the paper came!" "How's that oil spill?" "I don't know...but Obama visited a national park this weekend!" How lovely!  No offense to Rebekah Metzler, I don't know her, the article was well written but to be honest, it's about Obama, so that automatic disliking is already there.  Now about this dog thing: there is a text box to the side of the article that says:
Clarification: Today's story about the arrival of the Obamas said the Obama's dog and one aide arrived on a small jet before the First Family, but there were other occupants on the plane, including several other staffers. The presidential party took two small jets to the Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport in Trenton because the airport was too small to accommodate the president's usual jet.
Now I'm sure the government's opinion of a "small jet" is WAY different than the little 2-seater "small airplanes" you see in those Alaskan movies.  And of course the president can't travel with his staff, that would be like sitting in the back of an airplane by the jets, and assisting the flight attendants when they pick up garbage! Come on, America, get real!
