It's a thoughtful commentary

Which is the last thing I'd expect out of Glenn Beck. I'm off to go read it now.

(EDIT: comes back from reading the article...)

Were you to have read it to me out loud and then later tell me Beck wrote it, I'd say you were lying. Thoughtful it was indeed (a bit thick on the disclaimers, but whatever). But it raises the question in my head: Has Beck recently backed off his whack-a-doodle persona to something reasonable? To me it was like reading an article authored by Jim Cramer telling you to buy S&P 500 index funds, roll credits.

OTOH, perhaps it is the crisis others theorized. Because it came across in some ways as, "oh, so this is how it must look from the other side?"

I was as surprised as you were.

I, too, wondered when he would finally get to his main point which seemed endlessly prefaced.

Anyway, I was as shocked as you were. And I never thought I'd say the words "thoughtful commentary" and "Glenn Beck" in the same sentence.
