Hi, All.
I went to Amazon.com to order LS’s most recent book (referenced on GB). You wouldn’t believe the snotty leftist ‘review’ from Publishers Weekly they’ve got posted. I’d buy his book just to irritate them!
Good afternoon, all. I am actually here for once.. too bad my XM antenna broke so I am here in silence. No TV at work, but XM filled in admirably. What am I going to do? No Glenn, no Stanley Cup finals....
In Islam, too, the black flag is the symbol of revolution:

“al raya”
“The Black Flag (al-raya) traces its roots to the very beginning of Islam. It was the battle (jihad) flag of the Prophet Muhammad, carried into battle by many of his companions, including his nephew ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib. The flag regained prominence in the 8th century with its use by the leader of the Abbasid revolution, Abu Muslim, who led a revolt against the Umayyad clan and its’ Caliphate. The Umayyads, the ruling establishment of the Islamic world at the time, were seen as greedy, gluttonous, and religiously wayward leaders. The Abbasid revolution, then, was aimed at installing a new, more properly Islamic ruling house that would keep orthodox Islam at the center of its regime. Since then, the image of the black flag has been used as a symbol of religious revolt and battle (i.e. jihad). In Shiite belief, the black flag also evokes expectations about the afterlife. In the contemporary Islamist movement, the black flag is used to symbolize both offensive jihad and the proponents of reestablishing the Islamic Caliphate.
In the primary example, we see a picture of the black flag (al-raya) superimposed on a map of the world. On the flag is the shahada, or the Muslim decree of faith, and at the bottom of the image there is a line in Arabic script that reads: “Assembly of the Fleet-Footed (i.e. jihadi fighters)” (muntada al-safinat). In the background of much of the right side is a masked jihadi fighter looking onward. This image clearly suggests a global jihadi aim. That is, with the black flag covering the entire globe, the one who views this image recognizes that the banner of revolt and battle (al-raya) has been raised over the entire globe, which advocates an offensive jihad in all parts of the globe.”

Beck just made a good point. The dim party embraced the anarchists to get elected, but can’t control them anymore. Violent lefties turning on lefty politicians.
Wow.
I watched the first half of Glen’s show today and I have to tell you, I got so nervous I had to stop. I will watch the rest of it later. I fear Glen is right!

Why Canada sucks…
And why we are on the fast track to suckdom. Check out this story Glenn had on radio today about a Canadian youth soccer league and the new rule they introduced. Any team that wins a game by more than 5 points will lose by default. Yes, you read that correctly. And yes, Canada sucks and because of stuff like this will continue to suck for a very long time. But we're not far behind! Glenn has more on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)
The Overton Window
Today on the radio program Glenn talked to Joseph Lehman from the Mackinac Center, the group that originally conceptualized the Overton Window theory. How does it really work? Check out the conversation from radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio) Watch this FREE Insider Extreme Clip of the in studio interview.
The Rosie O'Donnell BP solution
Another brilliant idea from a Hollywood celebrity regarding the BP oil spill situation: seize them! Yes, this is the kind of advanced thinking that conservatives could only dream of coming up with. Nothing bad could come of the government taking over our energy sector because government always runs things more smoothly and more efficiently than the private sector could ever dream of. Rosie takes a break from her donut to needlessly give her opinion, and Glenn shares her unmeasurable idiocy on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)
Obama's Katrina?
It's been over 50 days, and the press doesn't seem to mind that the President is attending parties and having a blast as the oil spill continues. Not that there's anything he can or should really do, but we all can imagine what the firestorm would be today if it were George W. Bush in office. Keith Olbermann would probably be interviewing oily turtles by now if it were Bush. The best part is that Obama is now demanding that there be 'no excuses' - but does he live by that creed? WATCH
Nelson DeMille - The Lion
Glenn was thrilled to talk to legendary author Nelson DeMille on radio today, but was not so thrilled to find out that his latest book, The Lion, is coming out around the same time as Glenn's The Overton Window. Glenn has always been fascinated by fiction writers and in the interview today talks about the war gaming and planning that goes into making a fiction book entertaining and informative.
