I can't recall one multimillionaire I really admire enough to say I consider them to be a 'role model'.

Ouch. I like the content but... is it just me or is his writing style flawed?

Oh, thank you so much for posting this! I really like Ben Stein, and this piece brought a lump to my throat. He's a grand fellow I'd like to meet, sometime.

I do recall a thread about it, but I've not been freeping as much these days. There are so many Kerry gaffs one can hardly keep track.

Who knew that the teacher in Ferris Bueller's Day Off was such a conservative gem! LOL

Stein is a good conservative, I believe his father was as well. Wish he would keep writing.

I am no longer comfortable being a part of the system that has such poor values, and I do not want to perpetuate those values by pretending that who is eating at Morton's is a big subject.

Welcome to the world the rest of us live in ...

I thought his quiz show was hilarious! Hub and I watched it whenever it was on, for quite a while.

Ben Stein's last column.

Last as in recent, or last as in done?

If the latter, I hope he enjoys the rest of his days in insane luxury. ; )

First 'Win Ben Stein`s Money' goes off the air and now his column. I will both now. Hope the Visine ads keep going.

Favorite item from WBSM - 'The electrician tried to count up all the electrical outlets in the house but he was just a jack off'.

...remembering Paris Hilton's reply to the "normal" woman when she mentioned Wal-Mart?. "Is that some place where you buy stuff for your wall?"

now the decision is...was she being honestly sincere?
