What's that old saying? Birds of a feather flock together. Well the Stossel bird is flying the ABC coop and joining his fellow screamers at Fox.

In my new job, I want to dig into the meaning of the words "liberty" and "limited government". ABC enabled me to do some of that, but Fox offers me more airtime and a new challenge.
Translation: I couldn't lie with impunity at ABC, although I did get away with a heck of a lot of crap there. At Fox I'll be able to get as red-faced, asinine and ass-clownish as I choose to without being held to account. Heck, my buds like Beck and Limbaugh will be slapping me on the back in no time and before you know it I'll be asking to see the President's birth certificate.
I’m still considering what I will do with my own show, one hour each week. Economics certainly. Exercises in understanding libertarianism. My "take" on the issues of the day. Kind of like this blog. In fact, maybe we’ll call it, Stossel’s Take?
Translation: I will rail on the government for anything and everything whether it makes sense or not. I'll work very hard to push for more tax breaks for the rich cause I don't give a hoot about anyone else. What's mine is mine and as long as I have enough to live the good life, no matter on whose back I derive it, is irrelevant. I'm a libertarian, dammit, and that means I hate government unless I need them for anything. And here's a name suggestion for your new show. Don't use 'Stossel's Take. Why don't you try, "Stossel's a Fake".
I say a hearty good riddance to John Stossel. He'll be going to a channel where the only people who will hear his whining, shrill voice for an extended period of time will be the people who deserve it the most.
