 For technical reasons I’m not going to explain here, my link to this clip from “The Colbert Report” is indirect (but well worth your bother).
 Just click HERE and scroll down past the text to the video of the guy in the gas mask. It’s eight minutes of brilliant political satire — and a devastating indictment of Glenn Beck as a fraud or a madman.
Mumbo-jumbo, hoity-toity, hanky-panky, etc.

 Politico.com has the STORY on yesterday’s special election in an upstate New York congressional district where Republicans have a big advantage in registered voters.
 The election, which was framed as a referendum on President Obama, is too close to call with all but the absentee ballots counted.
 UPDATE: THIS GUY says the election results represent a vote of confidence for Obama, no matter which candidate wins.
