Glenn Beck: President Obama is a racist with a deep hatred for the white race. President Obama wants to destroy this country! President Obama and his cohort of radical Marxists are engineering an Islamic take over of this country! President Obama would allow terrorists to kill Americans to further his radical communists agenda!
But Glenn Beck is "shocked" at the violence that occured in Chicago...though he seemed oblivious (or willfully ignorant) to these exact same beatings and murders occuring in devestated cities like Detroit for the past 8 years!
And Glenn Beck think the "liberal media" is out of touch?
The liberal media routinely reports on urban poverty and violence.
Glenn Beck (like most other wealthy white Republicans) seems to just be waking up to the fact that its a problem.
Because the music execs (much like insurance companies!) wanted to raise prices for their music!!! Not out of need, but simple fucking greed. These music companies aren't exactly on welfare and living out of their cars. In making record profits the goal is always....more!
"Hey! This new Mariah Carey release is worth more than this old song from Toto! Let's make it $2.99 per download instead of .99 cents!"
Apple, thank God, has refused to gouge customers the exact same way the mortgage brokers, the banks, GM, Whole Foods and the all the rest have.
Looks like Google is going to finally "free" the music companies from Apples "tyrannical" price controls.
(sigh)
Say goodbye to 99 cent songs. Say hello to $2.99 per song downloads.
Oh well, poor Kevin Federline could use the money.
