Here are my two cents (even though I hate pennies and think we should end making them). Heard about the guy in Oklahoma who gushed over the Mormon who was on tv talking about President Hinckley. Pretty exciting prospect considering any good words or examples will help combat those persistent myths that continue to rear their ugly head. When I got home I looked him up and about
five minutes in I was done and didn't care to go back. He was another one of those politicos and seemed like he was among the cream of the crop. Now he would've stayed put in his part of the tv sphere had not he intruded in mine when a clip showed up on the Daily Show showing some very insesitive remarks about India. Granted I do not know the context of which they were pulled from but when you hear a sentence about another country like this, "I’m sure it’s beautiful and everything… especially this time of year… especially by that one big river they have there that sounds like a disease. Come on, it does. I mean, if somebody said, ‘I’m sorry, you have a really bad case of Ganges,’ you’d want Cipro.” Very hurtful especially coming from someone who is purportedly espousing the real America, makes me ashamed that this is what people will see and think of us when it has been chopped up by Wonkavision into byte sized pieces and delivered to the televisions of people around the world.

I was quite offended myself when I saw that clip. Americans are known worldwide as being internationally uneducated, but I sure hope that ends with our generation.
Glenn Beck is my boy!
