Ben Stein is Way Out of Shelf-life.

Yet here he is again - one of the gargoyles of the Reagan years, promising to deliver a way out of our confusion, but merely delivering another new dizziness.

This time he's celebrating and selling an erosion of professionalism that usually signals a culture losing it's clarity of being.

What exactly are the standards when News Programs are staffed by upscale gypsies and carni workers selling glimpses of sideshow freaks - and how could it be otherwise when the ironclad goal is delivering audiences to advertisers - not information to audiences?

Staying rational is hard work. Expelling Ben Stein's ideas is easy as pi.
