It was before he went to Fox. He wasn't really that crazy on CNN. I have no clue if that last sentence is true. Someone mind explaining  I know it was supposed to be a fake gag tag or something, but I'd like to know the full story.

The one where he proclaims that he leans left was in Salon, but I can't find it. http://www.forbes.com/forbes/2010/0426/entertainment-fox-news-simon-schuster-glenn-beck-inc.html This article makes it fairly clear that Glenn Beck is at first an entertainer, and doesn't really care about the politics.

There are plenty of examples of supposedly right-leaning/conservative/stupid pundits who turn out to be well-educated leftists putting on an act (eg. Glenn Beck, Larry the Cable Guy, Stephen Colbert in a manner of speaking, and I theorize Ann Coulter is one too). But are there any examples of the opposite? Highly publicized pinko commie bleeding-heart hippies who turn out to actually be fairly white-bread socially conservative moderates?

Zenintrude was the dude in the retro games thread that kept posting a picture of money burning because of how incredibly expensive some old games are (like Earthbound being $170 on eBay now-a-day's just for the cart itself; forget if it has the box and/or manual). I bought the smiley,  , ironically because of all the money I was spending on my OCD in trying to find the perfect SNES revision.

Guesticles posted:What constitutes the perfect SNES revision? As to not derail the thread I will give you the short version: certain motherboard revisions (the SNES had a ton of 'em) have better picture quality than others. Stop by the Retro Games Discussion Thread some day when you have a chance! It's a great place to relax with some friends; grab a brew, chat about your favorite 8, 16, and 32-bit games, and just have a good time! Stop by today!
