Last Day of Summer

I was talking with my girlfriend the other day about that feeling in your stomach on the last day of summer. You always try to "live it up" but that is rarely the case. I slept in a good bit, and then had issues with my computer, which prompted a trip to best buy.

I just recently finished a book titled Common Nonsense: Glenn Beck and the Triumph of Ignorance. It was written by Alexander Zaitchik, and really explored the phenomena we know as Glenn Beck and his extreme-right cronies. It traces his career as a top 40 morning deejay, to the tearful fear mongering, hate-spewing, Mormon he is today.

To any critic of Glenn Beck, this book is a must read. The research is solid, and all sources are cited.

With that said, I hope everyone who heads back to class tomorrow a wonderful last few hours of summer!
