VIDEOOf all the things to get over the top emotional over, the Twitter suspension of the notorious doxinator Taylor Lorenz should be towards the bottom of the list. However, that is exactly what Agenda Free TV's Steve Lookner did when he bizarrely went full Howard Beale over this as you can see.

Let us go back forty years. Here is one of the greatest scenes in the history of the movies. Howard Beale is the presumptive Republican candidate for President of the United States. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, polls indicate that a majority of British voters are going to vote to pull out of the European Union on June 23. The international establishment is facing a two-front war. The Atlantic alliance is in visible disarray. This has not happened before. This is truly historic.

If you've ever seen the 1976 movie Network, you'll know the unforgettable scene in which TV news anchor Howard Beale (played by Peter Finch) has a mental breakdown while on-air. Ignoring the teleprompter, he breaks into one of the greatest soliloquies of American cinema, a wandering but coherent rant about the banks, crime and unemployment. Finally, he urges his viewers to throw open their windows and yell, "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this any more!" Today, Network feels as fresh and vital as it did 36 years ago, and not just because Finch,...

“I want you to know, I’m not dying,” Glenn Beck announced on his radio show this morning. TVNewser reports via TheRightScoop that the Fox News Channel host has neither cancer nor multiple sclerosis nor lupus. But he does have nerve damage likely related to his past alcoholism. Also, as some liberals may be secretly (or maybe even not so secretly) satisfied to learn, half of Beck's vocal chords are paralyzed at the moment. “I had two MRIs, two CAT scans and then I was going into the PET scan, and they said, ‘We’ve read all of the others we don’t...

O'REILLY: Why don't you do the culture warrior stuff? BECK: Because honestly, right now, I mean, the one part of culture that I am doing a lot of is faith. But general faith. We have got to get back to our churches, our synagogues, our mosques, whatever it is, as long as it's not telling to you blow things up. Get back to God and get back to the Founding Fathers. O'REILLY:. But let's take the gay marriage deal. You know, big ruling in California. You really didn't cover that much, right? O'REILLY: Why? BECK: Because honestly, I think we...

Why does Fannie Mae, a government mortgage finance company, have a patent on a device that would allow the government to turn off the energy in your home whenever they want to? The device is put into the outlets in your home and cannot be removed without a special device. Love him or hate him, Glenn Beck and his staff have possibly uncovered something big with this..if cap-and-trade passes, this could be what is coming our way..Among those helping with this investigation is Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvM4tjNnQIo

The other day I ran across a clip from the 1976 film "Network" -- of course, the "Mad As Hell" speech which is a perfect match for the political mood of the country today. But then I remembered there were some other great speeches & scenes, and when I reviewed them again, sure enough -- it right on the money for today! No, I am not saying that a writer in 1976 had some magical powers to predict the future, but yesterday's hyperbola is today's reality. How weird is that? Mad As Hell The MediaThe World is a Corporate Holding...

Glenn is on a roll this morning. He is speaking about bringing all our troops home world wide. Then makes the case for letting the whole world know. Touch us just once and you will truly see how many people we can kill. I like it. The current BS about us being the 'bully' is not going to change if we do not.

I may have finally reached this point. How 'bout you?

That Linus Torvalds, creator of the Linux operating system, prefers the current version of the General Public License, GPLv2, over the version in development, GPLv3, is no secret. But in a lengthy E-mail response to questions from InformationWeek, he offers a full explanation of what he thinks is superior about GPLv2. Torvalds says he regrets that the authors of GPLv3 have decided to take aim at political opponents. He has little patience for statements about the "evil and immoral" nature of proprietary code or the "TiVo-ization" of Linux (a reference to set-top box producer TiVo producing a device that runs...

There are speeches yet to go at the Republican Convention, as I write this. President Bush will speak tonight, and of course the most important speech given at any party convention is the one by its nominee. Still, without fear of being proven wrong, in my opinion the most powerful and evocative speech at this Convention was given yesterday. By a Democrat, Senator Zell Miller. The title which summarizes his work is just one letter different from the catch phrase made famous in the Oscar-winning performance of Peter Finch in the 1976 classic, Network. Finch played Howard Beale, the TV...
