It's All So Obvious

 

...that you're nuttier than a jar of chunky peanut butter, Glenn.



per Raw Story:

Conspiracy theorist Glenn Beck warned viewers of his Internet channel Thursday night that a set of public education standards encouraging math and language development is actually a massive global conspiracy designed to help the Chinese and, somehow, Muslims, take over the United States.

...

The standards were fashioned by the National Governors Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers. And according to Beck, those two organizations have conspired with multinational corporations to sell America out to China and Islam.

Of course, I knew those Comislamunist so-called 'Governors' (if that's what they're really so-called... hmmm?) were up to some insidiously fiendish bit of plot designed to bring America to its knees all along.

Can't fool me.
