re: #378 Killgore Trout

Well, I finally made it through tonight’s Glenn Beck show. I took me a couple sittings. What a wonderful peek into the way he (and many others) view the world they inhabit. I have to admit I think he’s brilliant at what he does. He exploits complicated issues like economics and condenses it into a conspiracy theory that’s easy to understand. I don’t think he’s smart enough to have intentionally plotted his rising influence but I think he sort of stumbled into it. The time was right and he’s certainly the man for the job. What a bizarre thing he’s helped to create.

100 years from now there will be bronze statues of him dotting the countryside…the ‘Great Reconquistador’ or whatever….maybe not tho
