Truth & Consequences

Goddess forgive me for taking pleasure in other's misfortunate but I love this. Advertisers bailing on Glenn Beck. At the last count, 12 have pulled their ads. This of course won't affect Fox's bottom line. I understand the ads will just be placed on different programs but I did see a rumor that Beck is taking an unexpected vacation -- so there's that.

More overt death threats:

The Secret Service is investigating a man who authorities said held a sign reading "Death to Obama" outside a town hall meeting on health-care reform in western Maryland.

The sign also read, "Death to Michelle and her two stupid kids," referring to the first name of President Barack Obama's wife, said Washington County Sheriff's Capt. Peter Lazich.

Awaiting the Palinites and other fringe rightwing's collective outrage at actual threat against children. Not holding my breath.

If you're not at Netroots Nation but wish you were, they have a livestream of the events.

And mark your calendar. There will finally be a Meet the Press worth watching this Sunday. I think David Gregory is on vacation and they will have a Special Edition featuring the panel, Dick Armey, Tom Coburn, Tom Daschle and Rachel Maddow.
