BuzzFeed's Week in Review: Charlie Sheen's Act Goes From Losing to Winning and Other Viral News
By not in system - AOL NewsHey, it's time for BuzzFeed's Week in Review. It's a short list this week. I blame Rebecca Black. But let's get to it! Charlie Sheen's stage tour got off to a rocky start in Detroit, where the former "Two and a Half Men" star was booed off stage. But things got progressively better, with positive reviews in Chicago and a standing ovation in Cleveland. News of a possible government shutdown was one of the most talked about stories of the week, with Speaker of the House John Boehner, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and President Obama failing to reach a budget deal. The Huffington Post ...
Glenn Beck's Fox Show Dropped
By not in system - AOL NewsNEW YORK -- Glenn Beck's talk show is being dropped by the Fox News Channel after sinking in the ratings and suffering financially due to an advertiser boycott. Fox and Beck's company, Mercury Radio Arts, said Wednesday they will stay in business creating other projects for Fox television and digital, starting with some documentaries Beck is preparing. Beck was a quick burn on Fox News Channel. Almost immediately after joining the network in January 2009, he doubled the ratings at his afternoon time slot. Fans found his conservative populism entertaining, while Comedy Central's Stephen ...
Tsunami of Moronic Thoughts: Glenn Beck, Gilbert Gottfried and Others' Offensive Japan Comments
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsWrath of God or natural disaster? When it comes to Japan, Glenn Beck won't claim it's the former, but can't tell you it's the latter. "I'm not saying God is, you know, causing earthquakes," Beck told his radio listeners on Monday, before throwing in, "I'm not not saying that either." "What God does is God's business. But I'll tell you this -- there's a message being sent," Beck continued. "And that is, 'Hey you know that stuff we're doing? Not really working out real well. Maybe we should stop doing some of it.' I'm just saying." Take a listen: Beck's comments, which led Time ...
Glenn Beck Meets Billy Graham, Later Blasts the Left as 'Evil'
By David Gibson - Politics DailyControversial Fox News host Glenn Beck met quietly with the aging and revered evangelist Billy Graham on Saturday and said that after their three-hour encounter he is convinced that the political left -- including "the average Democrat" -- is "standing now with profound and clear evil." "In sitting there and speaking to Reverend Graham, I thought, here is a man who has been all around the world," Beck explained on his website on Tuesday, apparently a transcript of comments made on his radio show on Monday. "Here's a man who has seen it all. Here's a man who's done profound good. One of the ...
'King of Limbs': Radiohead Album Title Meaning Explained
By David Knowles - AOL NewsHere it is, but what does it mean? The British rock unit Radiohead released its much anticipated new album on today. While the 37 minutes of music on the new offering has already been getting high praise from critics, some fans are wondering about the title. Related Stories Radiohead's 'The King of Limbs' and 'Lotus Flower' Video: The First Reviews Are In So far, two main references to "King of Limbs" have been turned up. The first, like the band, comes from England. In the Savernake Forest in Wiltshire, one finds a massive, decaying oak tree named "the King of ...
Opinion: Mubarak Out; Is Caliphate In?
By not in system - AOL NewsThis is what we know about Egypt: Military is engaged. Parliament is dissolved. Constitution is suspended. Mubarak is out. And this is what we would love to know: Is caliphate in? For those who don't know, caliphate is an institution of successorship in Islam. After the demise of the Prophet Muhammad, (the rightly guided, as it was called) caliphate -- spiritual and political successorship -- was established in 632. But from 661 to 1924, it deteriorated into a dynasty, largely providing for political unity of Muslims. Since Turkish President Ataturk abolished the institution of caliphate in ...
Glenn Beck vs. Google: It's On [VIDEO]
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsGlenn Beck just ruined his chance of scoring a birthday Google doodle. The conservative commentator instead decided to pick a fight with the all-mighty search engine, which he accuses of "bizarrely inserting" itself into the story of the Egyptian revolution. "May I recommend if you are doing your own homework, don't do a Google search. Seems to me that Google is pretty deeply in bed with the government," Beck told his audience. Beck listed Google's close ties to the U.S. government, support for "hardcore leftists" and disregard for user privacy as three reasons he's skeptical of the ...
Michelle Obama Is Fat? Elementary School Gibes as Political Commentary
By Joanne Bamberger - Politics DailyTwo years into their stay at the White House, the Obamas must be resigned to the fact that no matter what they do, they're going to get blasted by the right. But I have to believe that Michelle Obama thought her call for kids to exercise more and eat healthier would be as plain vanilla and non-controversial as, say, Laura Bush's cause for children's literacy. Sadly, she was wrong. For some conservatives, her effort to make our country's children healthier through her "Let's Move" program is just another socialist stategy to move us toward a nanny state. Taking FLOTUS to task for her ...
