Glenn Beck Announces Comedy Tour That's Supposed to Be Funny on Purpose

A comedy tour with Glenn Beck? Isn't he that very sad, probably-DSM-IV-diagnosable delusional schizophrenic on TV?

Yes. That's what makes it so funny to watch…

This should shed some light on the mysterious "slightly crazy founding father" Beck so unctuously coyly refers to…

Beck calls his act a "poor man's Seinfeld" and intends to mix topical humor with his modern-day reimagining of Thomas Paine's 1776 pamphlet "Common Sense."

Wow! Thomas Paine! A real live dead person! I wonder what that'll be like. Do you think it'll be anything like the somewhat unnerving bit that Beck featured on his show last week?

Funny, funny stuff.
