How could I have missed this OBVIOUS metaphor relating Glenn Beck to Obi-Wan Kenobi? Surely the bandwidth consumed by hours and hours away from the computer because of this week’s jury duty is part of the problem…but this happened last week! Why did I not see it? Because I was under the weather? Maybe my midiclorians need recharging.
Erick:
It appears that the left’s urgent boycott of Glenn Beck’s advertisers in an effort to destroy Beck is like Darth Vader strking down Kenobi. It’s making Beck more powerful. He is Kenobi.
Erick also has a list of the whiny advertisers choosing to pick and choose whose show their ads run for. I haven’t corresponded with the aforementioned companies yet, because, of course, IHAVENOTIME nowadays. But I did manage to fire off a letter to AARP telling them to take a running start and jump up my nether parts.
Stop doing the math; a Jedi never reveals their age. That’s just wude(4:00).

Fabulous post, dear heart! I love the imagery… although, I’m sure Beck would be a trifle embarrassed by the comparison to Kenobi.
From what I’ve gathered (just a smattering of headlines) is that some of the “proclaimed” companies that were said to have canceled their ads with Beck did not. So, in addition to the Green Czar and his minions’ strong-arm thuggery to force boycott, they are appearing to also be boasting and exaggerating/lying about their thuggery.
The Chicago way…
