This post by the Glenn Beck Examiner will attempt to make light of a very serious matter: Glenn Beck's former appendix.
Understandably, with a high-profile figure such as Glenn Beck (he does, after all, have an exclusive line to the White House)... theories will have already begun to emerge on the conspiratorial nature of Glenn Beck's battle with appendicitis.
First, there is the joke by the President of Beck's production company, Christopher Balfe. Balfe is reported as saying that Beck had requested his doctor make a chalk board drawing, presumably to outline the key points in the fight against an out-of-control appendix inflammation.
“Before going under Glenn asked the doctor to draw out the surgery procedure on a blackboard.” Christopher Balfe
Gawker.com has hailed Glenn Beck's appendicitis attack as a valiant murder attempt. In a post entitled "Glenn Beck's Heroic Appendix Attempts To Kill Him", the Gawker folks lament the fact that the emergency appendicitis attack occurred. Well, actually, they were disappointed it occurred during his radio show since "there is no video of Glenn clutching his abdomen, vomiting, and finally collapsing in pain."
Speaking of heroism, Stu Burguiere, Executive Producer / Head Writer of The Glenn Beck Program, salutes Beck's triumph over-- what freedom-loving Americans can only define as-- a "radical" appendix.
From Stu via Twitter: "Glenn's appendix was a communist revolutionary. He demanded it be immediately removed."

valiant murder attempt? You're a sick woman!
I am stupider for having read this. Stop writing please.
Randy, what's sick about what she said? Gawker.com said it, not Robbin. If you would follow the links, you would know that.
Sorry Stacy but truth be known nothing could possibly have made you any "stupider" then you were before you read this.
I wish Beck would move further to classical liberalism or libertarianism. He says he wants to at times but he needs to take the plunge. He gets some great stories out in a dramatic way. Its not about left and right anymore to me. Its about collectivism vs individualism.
too bad they didn't remove his vocal cords........
I will make the same old observation -- NONE of you opponents of Glenn Beck NEED to watch or listen to him. That's what is good about technology -- it's called the little on/off knob. I would suspect that the truth hits home sometimes and you can't stand to hear it!
But I love to listen to beck. He's perhaps the funniest person on tv. He sees things no one else sees - which apparently impresses some people, though most of us recognize this as a sign of a delusional personality.
Many of the pieces I have read and seen about Glenn make my laugh and many, many more really makes me want throw up. Here is a man who has put his life, reputation, honor, well, and the list goes on, to keep a light focused on the garbage going on in Washington (ie) Congress and the House and the special intrest groups. I pray for a quick recover for Glenn. Isaiah 53: 5, He (Jesus) is our healing and I ask God to pour our His healing on Glenn today. By the way Glenn if you see this read Proverbs 21:16 New Living Translation.
Jon Stewart did a hilarious Glenn Beck Appendix chalk board - google it :-)
All countries have a % of idiots and ignorant. Beck is the classic clown that preys on that ignorance.
See you back on the air can't wait until your back on the air Glenn!!
