1) Glenn Beck attacked GE for releasing a dishwasher with "progressive" in the name.*

2) a group of House Republicans have agreed to end the shutdown in exchange for the President's firstborn.

Only one of these stories is satire.

*Not that anyone but Beck can actually find this dishwasher.

I know! I know! It was Mr. Green, in the library, with the candlestick.

One of the core requirements for being a con is belief in conspiracy theories.

And like most superstitious people, there`s no need to make sense or prove anything.

The "liberal media" for example......allows conservatives to lie and misrepresent news stories to favor republicans, on their claim the MSM has a liberal bias......without ever giving examples of the bias.

Beck and other cons like him, thrive on bombast and over-the-top antics, the more weird and ridiculous, the better.

Like when he said the President was racist against white people.......Cons love racial warfare and race-baiting and beck and fox news give them plenty of blood red meat.
