From Glenn Beck's show in Friday:

<snip>
How many warnings do you think you’re going to get, and how many warnings do you deserve? This hurricane that is coming thorough the East Coast, for anyone who’s in the East Coast and has been listening to me say ‘Food storage!’ ‘Be prepared!’

… If you’ve waited, this hurricane is a blessing. It is a blessing. It is God reminding you — as was the earthquake last week — it’s God reminding you you’re not in control. Things can happen. Be prepared and be someone who can help others so when disaster strikes, God forbid, you’re not panicking.

4. Beck's version of the oldest "get ready" sermon theme around.

Jim Jones, Waco, and now.................

5. "And if you call right now, we'll throw in a Pre-Apocalypse Souvenir Plate--ABSOLUTELY FREE!1!!"

:eyes:

6. that's the trouble - no matter how the instances of climate-change-caused disasters mount,

the ignorant and the paid-off will always describe them as "god's punishment"

7. No Glenn it is not a blessing

There are plenty of instances where we are not in control. We did not need Irene for that.

8. It could have been a "blessing," yes...

Unfortunately, the roof is still on Glenn Beck's house.

I would never go so far as to imply the storm killing Beck or any of his family would be a good thing. It wouldn't. However! If Hurricane Irene were to flatten his house and destroy everything he owns, it might teach him a little bit of humility.
