"I’m writing a futuristic action novel right now — I just named one of the characters last night around midnight, I wrote it down on a piece of paper someplace — and it’s going to be a vehicle that makes my usual points, but in a totally different way," Fox News host, radio commentator, and author Glenn Beck tells GQ. "I’m also a painter, and I’m going to start doing more art. And I’ve made some sketches of things I want to do, and I’m going to do that this summer as well. That’s the point of art; you can make your point in a million different ways. When the left was putting crucifixes in urine, they said, 'No, no, no, no, it’s art. It makes you think. It stretches you.' Now, that’s not an exclusive realm of the left. It’s [sic] just hasn’t been explored by the right." So what's he going to put in urine, we wonder? Al Gore?
