Ben's an impressive guy, but ... give the freakshow it's due:
1. Sarah Palin, quit in her first term, to avoid the nasty encumbrances of governing (ALL those earmark requests of hers were getting in way of her high stepping hopes) and fully to embody the GOP's de facto motto "Don't Be It, Dream It!", selling a whopping number of books on the first day of her "no questions, please, we're media-hating conservatives" "book" tour (yes, media haters selling and lining their pockets with a kind of media).
This is life bigger than fiction. Ben trumps that?
2. Glen Beck set sails on FOX and, through sheer propaganda, including his virtuoso performances, has convinced millions of American mental captives that the country is being ruined - really ruined, despite the fact that the Obama Administration has passed very, very little legislation of any size or controversy, to date.
3. The intrepid Senator James Mountain Inhofe, reportedly in league with the secret religious society, The Family, seems to be on a personal mission to finish-up frying the planet for the GOP or at least make sure that no one does anything until it is too late. Perhaps, TIME doesn't like putting clowns on their cover? But why?
David Sirota is stunned (but not speechless). He thinks Ben has trumped that, having pulled off being both responsible for the mess and then being praised for its cleanup, perhaps because he's not inured to how typical that is on invincible Wall Street.

OMG WTF BBQ
"...everyday I wake up and think I've seen the craziest, most sickening shit the day before. And nearly every day, I realize I haven't."
