The Glenn Beck show was fantastic. We laughed ourselves silly and had moments with misty eyes and left inspired. I’m half tempted to write in his name when I vote in November.

One thing Beck mentioned that had us howling (among many, actually) that I knew I had to look up is the story about the warning from feds about the increase in TB cases because of Mexican illegal street cheese.

Or “bathtub cheese” as it is also called.

Bathtub cheese.

He also mentioned the crazy laws in California. My favorites:

1. A regulation in San Francisco makes it unlawful to use used underwear to wipe off cars in a car wash.

2. No person shall produce, test, maintain, or store within the city a nuclear weapon, component of a nuclear weapon, nuclear weapon delivery system, or component of a nuclear weapon delivery system under penalty of Chapter 9.60.030 of the Chico Municipal Code.

He mentioned that #2 was actually about nuclear weapon detonation and a $500 fine for whomever detonated the nuke. Funny, right? We howled. But that one turns out to be an urban legend.

Anyway, the show was very fun and well worth the cost of the tickets, gas, babysitter, and lack of sleep.
