Just happened to see your GLEN BECK FOR PRESIDENT...I love him too! He's not only smart, but really funny. Love the idiot game he plays on his radio show on Fridays where he calls random convience stores and asks the most obvious questions and gets some of the dumest answers!!
 
Glenn Beck is a hoot and makes more sense than most.
I've wished for a modern day Teddy Roosevelt to emerge; Glenn will do.

On a side note, you would be surprised at some of the messages I got about that in my signature. Lets just say Mr. Beck isn't beloved by all here in the warm and fuzzy BYC world.

I also LOVE Glenn Beck. When I worked as a surgical nurse, the one surgeon listened to his program during routine surgeries, and I loved the Friday Jeopretardy!! LMAO. He got me hooked, and now that he's on TV, his show is one of the few I set the TiVo for.

Thanks for the quiz. I got numbers 1, 2, 6, 7, and 8 correct.
