The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Ummm, yeah. That's not possible. He can only be a wannabe Randian at best if he's not an atheist.

Note how Raz did say a "half-assed" Randian.  In fact that was what TMM omitted with his ellipsis.  I have no idea why he'd omit that and then question Raz's statement, which made sense unedited.  :huh:

BTW I have no idea if Beck is a fan of Ayn Rand or not.

I'm not questioning Raz's statement; I'm questioning Beck.

And half-assed is an understatement here.  No-assed is more like it.

So is Beck in fact an Objectivist?

but I mean he's no better or worse than say Al Franken was when he had that Air America show.

At least Glenn Beck is not in the Senate for fuck sake.

Minnesota is the worst state in the Union.

As someone who dislikes Beck, I found that clip tasteless and lame.

Hmm, I didn't find it particularly anti-Glenn-Beck. I think it is like any good Onion's satire - you can read it both ways (i.e. as an anti-Glenn-Beck piece and making fun of Glenn Beck haters).

My favorite clip is about the gymnast who was euthanized after injuring her ankle.
