Dear YogueIN: Who is Glenn Beck? And Should We Care About Him?


Answer: In short, Glenn Beck is a popular radio personality, and Fox News talk show host. And no.

Just kidding people, but to be honest, we're not actually sure...Politico is reporting that Beck has been positioning himself recently to be more of an active participant in the American political system-- and advising his large fan base to do the same.

While his unapologetic critisism of President Obama (calling him a rascist and comparing him to Adolf Hitler) has made him popular with many conservative types, some call his passionate rhetoric "populist" which has everyone feeling a little uncomfortable.

Regardless, Beck is scheduled to speak at this years Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), following in the footsteps of another conservative icon, Rush Limbaugh. (Oh Really!?)

In addition to this future address, according to Beck's website, he has begun writing a "100 year Plan" for Washington D.C., a guidebook for how to end corruption in the government. While YogueIN can't imagine reading a 100 year plan about anything, many people are very excited about this and are willing to pay $130 dollars to attend his "revivals" to listen to his ideas.

So while we don't know if you should or should not care about Glenn Beck, it is pretty clear that we'll be hearing a lot more from him. So plenty of time to decide.
