Gold Standard

Glenn Beck has been recently caught with his hand in a pot of gold.  He has been shilling for a gold merchant on and off the commercial breaks of his show.  This makes a kind of sense.  Wouldn’t you want to buy gold from an expert?  Joel Cheatwood, Fox VP (is that great or what?) says he’s not a real spokesman.  But he was listed as such on the gold company’s website.  And of course, gold is important if you want to be a Conquistador.  Like in Florida, where he’s working hard to defeat Charlie Crist, seen here in a new piece for American Prospect, being Tea-boarded.

The text from Lewis Carroll:

“Have you guessed the riddle yet?”, the Hatter said.  “No, I give it up.”, Alice replied: “What’s the answer?” “I haven’t the slightest idea.”, said the Hatter.  “Nor I”, said the March Hare.  This piece of rudeness was more than Alice could bear . . .

“The last time she saw them they were trying to put the Dormouse inro the teapot. “It’s the stupidest tea party I ever was at in all my life.”
