I hereby present, without comment, a Q&A with my son Jonah, age 9, 4th grader at Venable Elementary School in Charlottesville, about President Obama's speech today:
AZNEW: What did the President tell you?
JONAH: To stay in school, and though it gets really hard and rough throughout the years, to never give up in school.
What did you think of that?
I thought it was pretty cool. It would have been better if he made the speech at Venable.
Are you going to stay in school?
Yes.
Was it exciting to see the President?
Yes.
Are you now or have you ever been a Socialist?
What’s that mean?
Well, it’s a way of thinking that makes some grown-ups mad. And some grown-up thought President Obama would turn you into a Socialist. Do you think he might have?
Yeah.
Do you love America?
Yes.
Do you still love America after hearing President Obama?
Yes.
Do you like President Obama?
Yes
Why?
Because he’s a good president
And I have to ask you one more question.
What?
Creigh Deeds or Bob McDonnell?
Creigh Deeds!

Glenn Beck is a certified lunatic
Watch this video of Glenn Beck nodding in agreement with a guest that the only thing that can save the country now from illegal immigration is if Osama bin Laden detonates a weapon here, because it will wake up a grassroots effort.
I don't usually comment on issues like this, preferring to stick closer to home, and I usually don't care too much about the rants of Beck, Savage, et al., which seem to me for the most part directed toward such an extreme corner of America's political spectrum that it serves more as a source of amusement than as having a serious effect upon any meaningful political debate in the country.
But once in a while they do something that reminds me how truly f*cked up they are, and this is such a case. After this, I really do not know how Fox News can continue to provide this lunatic with a platform. It is not a question of free speech -- Beck is free to say what he wants -- it is a question of judgment whether a private business ought to provide him with a megaphone to, for all intents and purposes, advocate an attack upon the United States of America.
If this is not over the line, I am not sure what is.
