RNC Chairman Michael Steele said he is "done" reaching out to the president, having apparently been rebuffed in his previous attempts to start a dialogue.

Glenn Beck Recycles "X-Files" Plot to Spread Fear of Obama
Fox News personality, Glenn Beck, has been using his airtime to broadcast a right-wing conspiracy theory about the Obama administration setting up "concentration camps", part of a secret plot to establish totalitarian rule. Curiously, Beck's criticism of President Obama's economic policies seems to have been ripped directly from the plot of Fox TV's past hit series The X-Files and the films based on the series.

The Culture Warriors Get Laid Off
When Barack Obama ended the Bush stem-cell policy last week, there were no such overheated theatrics. No oversold prime-time address. No hysteria from politicians, the news media or the public. The family-values dinosaurs that once stalked the earth -- Falwell, Robertson, Dobson and Reed — are now either dead, retired or disgraced.
