Mt Vernon, WA gave the key to the city to Glen Beck. Some citizens objected

At least according to an email I got--wish she'd let people know sooner.

Glenn Beck is getting the Key to Mount Vernon From Bud Norris even the city council seems to think it strange.… Here are some articles from the past and video from today’s demonstrations.. yes, and I just bought the book also. I do believe we need to protest Glenn Beck with signs when coming to the Mctyere hall with “Health care for all signs Not Glenn Beck Care”… Erna

Or maybe it is a reward for mentioning Oligarchy, although he could not see the meaning of the word.

Him mentioning Oligarchy was actually a good thing. Although he correlates it within his political bias based on what is good for him. Getting the word Oligarchy into the heads of the Beck'ers is really good.

He can't redefine it, and anyone that looks it up will learn alot really fast, since Oligarchy is the private sector, and Beck'ers learning that the self claimed ruling elite are private sector people is a really good thing.


My suggestion to Beck would be a thought exercise. Think about politics, economics, without it being about you or anyone you know. Can you think about it without it being about you? If not what are you really thinking about?

Nothing but a Republician who probably giving it to him. He's a very sh*tty news reporter. He don't even get the facts before he start reporting on stuff...and he get's a key to the city. I find that very funny lol. Nothing but an republician doing that for him.....The women of the view exposed his a**.

There are some people that follow symbolism. And by a Mayor that is in a small town called Mount Vernon giving him one of his keys, he is trying to make a George Washington like statement.

You can see it symbolically, and there are groups that like to do that, it actually fits Glenn becks uncorrelated connection thinking. So it is part of a bigger gaming of those that follow symbolism.

Somehow in his mind, getting a key from a Mayor of a town named after the plantation of George Washington, to him, or to people that watch his show, is suppose to create some connection to the revolutionary founding fathers.

Its the same connection of unrelated events he does all the time, and is a post event, so it is a manufactured event to try and create symbolic value in people that think that way.

If you blink while driving you might miss it. And Bud Norris isnt the sharpest tool in the shed. I have a bag of rocks that are smarter than he is.

Mount Vernon is actually a medium-sized town that becomes one of the hotspots of tourism in the Northwest in April, when the Skagit tulip fields are in bloom. It also has a pretty large Latino population...which makes honoring Beck particularly bizarre.

to me it is a very tiny town but I shouldnt have slammed it because I was pissed about Beck.

My blood pressure might spike.

let glen beck stop for gas and food on the way down I-5. He cfan support the shitty economy of Mt. Vwernon. I will spend my money in Bellingham!

Been a while since I have been there so much probably has changed but it was a fun city to visit on business.

the mayor and his parents were friends.

Oh yeah, and he's declaring Sept 26 Glenn Beck Day.

Incredible that they would honor a non-productive parasitic unentertaining entertainer who contributes nothing to society and who won't be remembered five days after his death. We really are in the American Idol phase of our culture.
