Did you see Glenn Beck today on Fox News:

By Glenn Beck
While Rome is burning, Nero is playing the fiddle on late-night television.

• Our government is shredding the Constitution by using the IRS as a weapon to target specific individuals with a 90 percent tax!
• According to USA Today, 11.2 percent of veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan are now unemployed.
• We've now lost a million jobs in two months.
