Why is the DHS collecting information on journalists & social network users?
A disturbing story has surfaced about the Department of Homeland Security that under the National Operations Center Media Monitoring Initiative, government can retain data on users of social media and journalists for a period of several years. Not much detail has been provided as to why they would need to monitor and collect personal information except for saying it would help agencies in their response to events such as the earthquake in Haiti. Not sure how those are related - which makes it all the more disturbing. Glenn reacts on radio today.

Pat Gray: Debbie Wasserman Schultz a "horrible heinous vile skank"
Normally this type of harsh characterization is completely over the line and uncalled for in the public discourse, but in the case of Debbie Wasserman Schultz it's completely justified and extremely accurate. She has no problem lying about crystal clear truths in order to spin for the DNC. Among her classics in the past few days: Refusing to acknowledge the unemployment rate is higher today than it was when Obama took office; blaming Tea Party for AZ shooting; and calling Romney's NH blowout victory a sign that he's a 'wounded candidate' going forward. Romney's response was just epic - get that and Pat's tirade.

South Carolina polls tighten: The latest polls in the South Carolina GOP primary show that Romney's lead has been trimmed, leaving Gingrich in second place, Santorum in third and Ron Paul in fourth. Just a week ago Romney held a solid lead over Gingrich while Santorum had some breathing room over Paul. Get all the numbers and analysis from radio today.

What do Glenn Beck, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Arianna Huffington, & Netflix's CEO all have in common? Not much, except for the fact they all landed on Hollywood Reporter's Digital Power 50 list. DETAILS

Romney hammers Obama's 'it could be worse' campaign
Glenn hasn't been against Mitt Romney, but hasn't been a full supporter either - but Romney's speech on Wednesday may help to increase his standing. In Romney's speech he used strong and familiar language when he said Obama wanted to 'fundamentally transform America' while he wants to 'Restore America to its founding principles.' Hmmm, where have we heard that message before? Glenn reacts and talks a little Mitt Romney on radio today.

Al Gore: 'future of civilization at risk'
Former Vice President Al Gore appeared on his own network during their election coverage to fearmonger about what he sees as a coming climate catastrophe. Gore complained that the GOP wasn't talking about global warming and said, "We as a free-governing people, in the one nation with the best chance to lead the world at a moment when the future of civilization is at risk, we have to find a way to not only talk about — but effectively deal with — this issue." See Gore's full comments & get reaction from radio today.
