			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2009/03/31/glenn_beck_poetry/">Salon</a> has the best thing I&#8217;ve read in a long time &#8212; transcriptions of Glenn Beck, the Fox News Commentator, presented as poetry.</p>
<p>The example below could be said to be satirical, except that Beck&#8217;s not intelligent enough to be a satirist. </p>
<blockquote><p>TIME TO BELIEVE</p>
<p>It&#8217;s time to stop playing<br />
Games in this country.<br />
It is time to actually believe<br />
In something. I do.<br />
I know you do as well.<br />
Believe in something.<br />
Even if it&#8217;s wrong.</p>
<p>(&#8220;Glenn Beck,&#8221; Fox News, March 11, 2009) </p></blockquote>
<p>This excerpt from &#8220;Friday&#8217;s Show&#8221; is genuinely beautiful:</p>
<blockquote><p>We&#8217;ve got time to write tickets, we&#8217;ve got time to write tickets,<br />
Have the police officers write tickets, you know why&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>The man is clearly an idiot, but he does have a talent for using the rhythm of words very effectively.</p>
<p>Salon promises more tomorrow&#8230;</p>
