"…the Reason Foundation…"

|


Reader Catalogue sends this YouTube clip from last night's public viewer segment of something called "The Glenn Beck Program" on CNN Headline News (the PV, Brian Sack, humorously corrects and castigates the eponymous host for all his mistakes and errata). Seems that "Glenn Beck" was ragging on last week's study from the Reason Foundation, the nonprofit that publishes Reason magazine and Reason Online, about a correlation between drinking and higher earnings; Beck put "Reason Foundation" in air quotes, the televisual equivalent of the old "for a magazine called Reason…" groaner.

The public viewer, Brian Sack, took Beck to the woodshed, shushing him for not knowing the foundation and especially this here magazine, to which he subscribes. Keep watching in the segment for a shot of an enormously fat Pete Rose, too.

Forget about Beck's ignorance for the moment. What kind of world is it where Charlie Hustle is not only not in the baseball Hall of Fame, but needs a Mickey Lolich signature girdle?
