Glenn Beck Finally Secedes from Reality

“Beck revealed that his intention to ‘go Galt’ is quite literal, unveiling grandiose plans to create an entirely self-sustaining community called Independence Park that will provide its own food and energy, produce television and film content, host research and development, serve as a marketplace for products and ideas, while also housing a theme park and serving as a residential community.” [Right Wing Watch]
This will not end well.
It’ll be the Lord of the Flies but without Ralph, Piggy and Simon.
Good luck with that, sir. I look forward to your hilariously unselfconscious, tear-stained portrayals of the dangers of going it alone. I’ll give it… 6 months? Nah, call it a year.
On the 0.001% chance that this isn’t just a ridiculous new grift for Weepy Teabags, who wants to be the first one to try out the no-Commie-safety-regulations theme park rides? :)
What a fabulous idea.
Hippies tried that same shit back in the ancestral homeland. Since apples don’t fall very far from the tree, those who stuck around after the communes broke up and the drugs wore off became realtors and developers. What will the ex-Beckians do when the thrill is gone?
@redmanlaw: Things that start with “in-” like infighting, inbreeding, etc.
What a brilliant idea. Now we know precisely where to send the VX.
Oh, wait…did I just say that out loud? ;-P
I’m sure they’ll be very happy.
I recall another knucklehead with a similar idea … hasn’t panned out from what I can tell.
@blogenfreude: i expected to click on jim jones. beck is playing with models in his bunker like existance now.
Who is going to fund this boondoggle?
(re. accompanying picture)
I bet Glenn Beck will be operating the sperm extracting machine.
@jaycubed: That movie doesn’t get near as much credit as it should.
@nojo:
I agree, maybe not Harlan’s best writing, but one of the best adaptations of his work.
My fantasy would be to have the Robot Chicken people make a Santa Claus vs. S.P.I.D.E.R. movie (with George Lowe as Santa).
@jaycubed: I forgive Don Johnson for everything that followed.
Also, George Lowe is a national treasure.
@nojo: “I forgive Don Johnson for everything that followed.”
Even “Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man”?
@jaycubed: Okay, fine. Most things.
Oh, please, oh, please, let them build themselves a nookleeyar power plant!
@karen marie: And a totally unregulated banking system that’ll implode faster than a half-century-old Vegas hotel.
