At least we’re entertained as we try not to notice that no one’s in charge.

Except, of course, for Fox TV’s Glenn Beck, who is now channeling televangelist Jimmy Swaggart, choking back tears on his Friday the 13th special — “We Surround Them, You Are Not Alone.” On his Web site, Beck asks: “Mob rule in Washington?” while he hawks T-shirts with pithy slogans such as “Hate U” and “Torches and Pitchforks.”

Whose mob goes there?
