Here's one that should tickle the fancy of every politically sane person extant.
Glenn Beck fans’ cars towed during ‘revival’ event

Glenn Beck told his audience in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday that Americans are "worshipping cars."
If that's so, then his audience must have felt it was sheer blasphemy that their cars were towed from a nearby parking lot as they listened to the controversial commentator speak.
According to WFTV channel 9 in Orlando, 53 cars were towed out of a fraternity parking lot at the University of Central Florida on Saturday night, and all of them belonged to people who were attending Beck's American Revival Tour appearance at the nearby UCF Arena.
Event attendee Mike Vedder told the TV station that he thinks it was a set-up. He says there was a sign up pointing people to the Kappa Sigma fraternity lot as the place to park for the Beck event. But whether he believes the set-up was done for political purposes or for cash is unclear.
“Maybe they have a deal with the tow truck company or maybe they got kickbacks under the table," Vedder said.

While I can feel a little sympathy for the owners of those rides, it's still a side-splitter. Especially as Beck included in his little blither this statement:
| "Worshipping idols, that's the problem with Americans," Beck told the crowd. "We're worshipping cars. We're worshipping homes. Stop worshipping the almighty dollar." |
When you're 40 miles from home on a wet March evening, a car seems like a very desirable accessory to have.
