RSSRay flaunts his ignorance of geography:
“About 10 years ago or so Santa Monica passed a “living wage” law…..”
Maybe, just maybe, there’s a difference between a continental-scale market and state, and a single city?

You’ve described a bedrock truth about the Iraq crime/debacle that has hardly ever been mentioned in public. The Bush/Cheney gangsters **did** gin up a bogus case for war, and for that they should be treated as Ribbentrop was. But 2003 America wasn’t Hitler’s Germany or Stalin’s USSR. By 2003 any American could effortlessly find challenges to the administration’s Big Lie Of The Day, monitor overseas press agencies, and so on. It didn’t prevent the crime, did it? And of course its chief architects have done nothing but prosper since.
“And now Glen Beck has added Saint Martin Luther King Jr. to the pantheon of Gods to be worshiped.”
I’m not exactly wowed by your comment over all, but this in particular begs for some pushing back. I don’t know what your problem with MLK is (I can guess, but I won’t go into that) But it’s a very, very safe bet that if Beck has tried to glom on to MLK, it is entirely opportunistic. If Beck had been playing his weepy celebrity schtick when MLK was alive, he would been playing to the George Wallace crowd, and insinuating that King was a Trotskyite Woodrow Wilson agent, or whatever Bizarroland fever dream Becks spins these days.
