The Widow and The Divorcee - Episode 1: Caliphate

Today, Glenn Beck told America that the rest of the world is on fire and that the Middle East will soon be one giant Islamic caliphate.

From Media Matters:

I believe that I can make a case in the end that there are three powers that you will see really emerge. One, a Muslim caliphate that controls the Mideast and parts of Europe. Two, China, that will control Asia, the southern half of Africa, part of the Middle East, Australia, maybe New Zealand, and God only knows what else. And Russia, which will control all of the old former Soviet Union bloc, plus maybe the Netherlands. I'm not really sure. But their strong arm is coming. That leaves us and South America. What happens to us?


Ha. I love that The Netherlands winds up as Russia's afterthought. If you haven't seen footage of his performance, go here to watch it. But before you do, watch the first episode of The Widow and The Divorcee, a new short video series starring me as myself and me as my mother, inspired by real conversations between the two of us, a widow and a divorcee.



Look for another episode tomorrow! Remember: what a difference a day makes.
