I don’t particularly care for or about Glenn Beck. He’s some guy on a TV channel I don’t watch and I couldn’t even tell you if his radio program is aired around here; he isn’t on the crazy right-wing station I tune into for comedic value. That said, I sometimes see videos like Robert Greenwald vs. Glenn Beck or snippets of him crying or spewing some conspiratorial or inflammatory nonsense. Overall I get the impression that he’s significantly less interesting than folks like Michael Savage, who used to broadcast a local show in San Francisco before getting fitted for a proper aluminum foil hat and going national.

Watching the Greenwald video I got a nice little view of Beck’s blackboard. I wasn’t really paying attention until the phrase “Kids these days” popped up. Wait, what? This merited further scrutiny. Below I submit a masterful reconstruction of Glenn Beck’s chalkboard as carefully stiched together from screenshots of the Brave New Films piece:

Let’s look at some of the players here:

• Phish
• Rap Music
• The Gold Standard
• Brown People
• Kids These Days
• Stalin’s Wife
• Batman

When are the people of the supposedly-respectable mainstream media going to realize that Glenn Beck has been trolling them? Clearly this is meant as a joke. Mr. Beck’s public persona is an Andy Kaufman performance piece writ large on the national political stage. Bravo, sir. You are a genius at your craft.
