Meanwhile: JLS' Marvin Humes and "girlfriend" Rochelle Wiseman of The Saturdays ... go shopping.
The impoverished city of Camden, New Jersey may "permanently shut its library system, potentially leaving
residents among the few in the United States
unable to borrow a library book free," reports Philly.com. "[The city] is facing a $28 million projected deficit stemming from reductions
in state aid and a long-standing lack of taxable property. ... Discussions are under way that would allow the county library system to take over at least one branch. There is little, if any, precedent to permanently closing an entire library system, experts said. The American Library Association could only cite one other example."
Appearing on CNN's Reliable Sources, Joy Behar slams FOX News race-baiter-in-chief Glenn Beck as "frequently ridiculous" and a publicity freak. "He used to an alcoholic and a drug addict. He's replaced those addictions with an addiction to ... acting out and saying crazy things."
Via Politico's Ben Smith: "Bury Obamacare with Kennedy", one of the more tasteless signs distributed by protesters at Saturday's march in Washington D.C. that was organized by Republican lobbyists and inspired by teabagger-in-chief Glenn Beck.
Right wing malcontent and FOX News host Glenn Beck takes a moment from organizing townhall disruptions to making on-air jokes about killing Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
Beck ran a skit where a staffer appeared with a Pelosi cut-out face—how inventive, right?—and offered "Speaker Pelosi" a glass of wine and laughed that he "put poison in your glass."
WHEN YOU JUMP, watch conservative Mormon commentator Glenn Beck "joke" about poisoning Speaker Pelosi, who is second-in-line to the presidency. Keep it classy, Glenn. Oh and thanks for letting us know that jokes about assassinating politicians are perfectly acceptable, but same-sex marriage and universal health care are not.
Last night on CNN, an obviously irritated Lou Dobbs hosted Media Matters fellow Paul Waldman to debate the findings. Waldman pressed Dobbs to provide evidence of one of the major myths promoted by his popular show—that there is a "secret plan" to build a "NAFTA Superhighway" from Mexico to Canada. Dobbs could provide no evidence and angrily said, "You’re charging nonsense ... I reject it, I reject you, and I reject your position." Dobbs also called Waldman and Media Matters "ideologues" and "a left-wing hack." YouTube and transcript via Think Progress:
WALDMAN: So the question is, do you have — do you have actual evidence that there — that there is a plan that is going to take this all the way from Mexico to Canada? What is the evidence there? […] DOBBS: The evidence is straightforward. … We haven’t enough time for this. … You are a left-wing advocacy group. You’re charging nonsense … I reject it, I reject you, and I reject your position!"
