Inadvertancy

It's a tough gig coming up with something to fill air time every day. I'm not excusing the behavior - I'm just sayin'.
1) There's been a significant increase in the response "NONE" when people are asked about their religious affiliation. Beck sees this and jumps to the conclusion that it means they've all suddenly turned atheist. Because, of course, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with the really shitty things religion has been used for lately, right?
2) Beck bemoans the use of the melody of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" for a 'pro-Obama' song performed by school kids. Does he not realize that for a pretty good chunk of his audience, that tune is all about the Federal Army invading the sovereign states of The Confederacy? Hmm...
