Who in hell assumed erecting a mosque at ground zero appeared to be a good idea? I am not a great fan of either Glen Beck or Sarah Palin then again as compared to Obama and his supremely idiotic administration, this couple are prodigies, come on North america, there's lots of unusual stuff going down.

Jay made us laugh through tears and cry while laughing!! This is not a time to be sad because he believed that there is nothing to be sad about when someone goes to heaven. He has joined the comedic ranks in the Lord's Comedy Club. I wish I could be there.
RIP
