Yeah, for starters, there's this. It's a shameless appeal to emotions. Nice soundtrack.

The part about juggling and monopoly money was a comedic advertisement segment to promote tomorrow's show... which some may actually try to watch before making uninformed commentary. But where's the fun in that? Righteous indignation is always gratifying and doesn't require actual facts... there's YouTube and Wikipedia to back you up!

I've seen Beck's use of "actual facts." I'm not going to watch the show for them. I'd rather seek them elsewhere....and save myself some time.
