by Signal & UrbaniteJan 01, 2010“Thomas Paine once said, "The sublime and the ridiculous are often so nearly related that it is difficult to class them separately." This is ironic since Glenn Beck and the other "fair and balanced" journalists at Fox News spent much of March and the first half of April invoking his and other Founders' names while shamelessly promoting the various "Tax Day Tea Party" protests that occurred across the country on April 15, 2009.”
