In Glenn Beckstyle this site explains….

This site exists to try and help examine the vicious rumor that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990. We don’t claim to know the truth — only that the rumour floating around saying that Glenn Beck raped and murdered a young girl in 1990 should be discussed. So we’re going to do our part to try and help get to the bottom of this.
Why won’t Glenn Beck deny these allegations? We’re not accusing Glenn Beck of raping and murdering a young girl in 1990 – in fact, we think he didn’t! But we can’t help but wonder, since he has failed to deny these horrible allegations. Why won’t he deny that he raped and killed a young girl in 1990?

With constant reminders to look to the bottom of the page where it spells out clearly…

Notice: This site is parody/satire. We assume Glenn Beck did not rape and murder a young girl in 1990, although we haven’t yet seen proof that he didn’t. But we think Glenn Beck definitely uses tactics like this to spread lies and misinformation.

Read the last sentence again. That’s the point. Read it a third time and ignore the name of the site itself, because anyone who believes that we’re trying to actually get people to believe Glenn Beck raped and/or murdered is *whoosh* missing the entire point. So don’t be dumb like a lot of people are. I greatly expanded this text because so many people *read* it, and *still* didn’t understand.

Beck, having no legal recourse because no law has been broken, filed a formal complaint (PDF) to an international internet governing body, the World Intellectual Property Organization.

A House, A Mortgage, A Mess

There’s nothing exceptional about the boxy-looking two-family at 13 Essex Street in Revere, Massachusetts.

What is remarkable is the story behind a subprime-mortgage deal that allowed a lab assistant making about $36,000 a year to buy the property with $670,000 in loans.
