Ben the Crybaby...fired by the Waaa-ad agency because he's becoming a super-rich, guilty, Jewish liberal.

Ben Stein supported Al Franken for U.S. Senate. Hardly a conservative except in the sense that Ann Coulter is one.

At best, Stein is a capitalist with libertarian tendencies and has a lot of socialist buddies like Franken.

He’s not exactly aging well. A look-alike might be an improvement.

I thought ben was a global warming believer. He’s gone commie on everything else, and he lost my respect years ago. Of course, he is crazy about money.

Maybe they decided to “get the Red out”

[USS Alaska]

Gee, the answer that they wanted was obvious.

Part One: Any time a white man farts, lights a match, cranks up his lawn mover or snow blower, Mother Ghia comes another second closer to implosion.

Part Two: Any time a bell rings, another Angel gets its wings. Send in Clarence, the earth needs help.

I think I'll dig out that movie and watch it tonight.

"questions had been raised by defendant Kyocera about whether [Stein's] views on global warming and on the environment were sufficiently conventional and politically correct for Kyocera..."

Well I for one am glad to know that Kyocera is a politically correct AGW adocate. No more business for Kyocera from me.

Ben Stein, on the other hand,

(a) is a great pro-life advocate
(b) deplored the killing of Terry Schiavo
(c) is a valuable defender of Intelligent Design, goes fearlessly up against the likes of Richard Dawkins, and produces good movies like "Expelled!"

For these things I will always love Ben Stein. Yes, his economic theory may deviate from mine at times, but he is one still of the Good Guys.

[PA Engineer]

Stein then told Kyocera and Seiter & Miller that he was extremely concerned about the environment but unsure whether humans are responsible for global warming.

Kyocera is a solar manufacturer and part of the "green politically correct" movement. Stein is indeed a victim in this one.

[Silver Sabre]

This is a serious question. Do employers in America have the right to fire employees strictly over their political views?

[Ditto]

Kyocera Corporation... some cell phone stuff and BIG into solar energy.

Ben was stepping on their bottom line. ;~))

[Rocky]

Ben thinks that government should spread the wealth. So, Ben, your employer is just spreading the wealth to others. It’s just not your turn this time. It should help you to feel a little less guilty because you’ll have a little less money.

It’s a good thing, really. Nothing to whine about.
