On Stossel Tonight: Be REASONable, with Matt Welch and Nick Gillespie

[Watch a preview of tonight's show featuring Matt Welch and me.]

Tonight's episode of John Stossel's eponymous Fox Business show (airs 9 P.M. ET and is rerun on Fox Business and Fox News Channel throughout the weekend) is titled "Be Reasonable."

It includes segments on some of the dodgier aspects of life in contemporary America (half of us believe in ghosts) and also one on how Reason magazine changed Stossel's journalism:

Twenty years ago, I wasn't so rational. When neither liberal nor conservative publications made much sense to me, I discovered the libertarian magazine "Reason," which is skeptical of both the left and right. Reason editors Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch (host of "The Independents") say libertarians are more rational than others.

Tune in tonight to check out the whole show. Details here.

The question is not whether one can be a libertarian and believe in ghosts. The question is whether one can round up ghosts who will join in the struggle for liberty.

Indeed.

What an idiot. I'm shocked that he wasn't beaten to a pulp.

I'll start giving a damn about people believing in ghost when they want tax subsidies for the Ghost Busters.

Believing without proof? Sounds like faith.

Back then how could they record that? Cameras were a thousand pounds and ten feet tall.

I think this guy is Colin Hanks.

You know who else claimed to be just doing his job?

If he didn't like a little juice, he should have done a better job getting the answers right.

I don't like the facial hair, but the NASA Poindexterous narrow tie does make me think credibility.

Plus thanks to AGW there are more icebergs than ever before.

Postrel must have been in charge back then.

Welch was in Europe for a while? Huh, new information we haven't heard before.

I don't think I remember hearing about plane crashes before deregulation. THANKS REASON.
