One of this week's online stories that we noted was one that said that on the Martin Luther King Holiday, some people will promote the "Occupy the Dream" concept as a new phase of the Occupy Movement.
Will Glenn Beck be fair and balanced if he covers the "Occupy the Dream" phase of the continuing history of the Occupy Movement or will he be content to ignore that and just see the Occupiers as a chance to challenge and repulse the latest attack by the god-less Commies?
Will the Beckster use obscure and forgotten facets of history (such as the story of Grover Cleveland Redding) to frighten and intimidate the Archie Bunker faction of the Republican voter base?
To see just how Beck will portray that part of this year's unfolding history, all we will have to do is turn on the radio, tune in to the formerly all progressive station, and drop out of the time consuming task of thinking about how things were better back in the good old beatnik days, and we will have a new constant supply of potential column topics all fresh and ready for analysis.
Then again, maybe for the sake of quality control for future columns, it would be better to break into the piggy bank and do some Making of the President 2012 reports from on the road?
Are the Occupy Protesters using new ways to rephrase old ideas? Noam Chomsky used Rousseau's words when he said: "It is contrary to the law of nature that "a handful of men be glutted with superfluities while the starving multitude lacks necessities.'"
Now the disk jockey will play "Skip a Rope," the Grateful Dead's "Please Don't Murder Me!," and (we hear that the announcement of a new tour is imminent) The Rolling Stones' "Dead Flowers." We have to go check the roster of Republican candidates being listed on the Florida Primary Election ballot. Have a "hella flower power" type week.
