Outraged that employees in his organization had begun placing recycling bins throughout The Blaze's headquarters and studio and replaced individual water bottles with a water cooler, Glenn Beck brought the Vice President of Studio Operations onto his radio program today to explain why these changes were taking place.
When she claimed that doing so was saving the company money, Beck not only didn't buy it but also didn't really care and instead issued a new company-wide policy that any employee who buys a compact fluorescent light bulb when non-CFL options are available will be fired.
"Global warming is a pile of crap," Beck declared, adding that he would be issuing a memo informing everyone that "if anyone does anything in this company because of global warming, they're fired."

I would say that someone has gone off the slippery slope, but to be honest, he jumped down there, climbed up, and then jumped down there a second time just for the hell of it to the humor of everyone with more than five brain cells.
I no longer think Beck is doing this purely for the money; I am convinced that he is utterly insane.
Hopefully this will result in so much money being wasted combined with any fines "the man" may impose on him for not recycling, Beck will be broke & off the air.
How is there anyone left, in America or anywhere else, who does not see Glenn Beck as an incoherent mentally disturbed moron, whose detachment from reality alone should see him sectioned in a mental hospital and prevented from gaining any form of access to the media? And this wacko runs a company and people work for him?
He threatens to fire people for recycling, energy efficiency, and avoiding waste? Things that save money?
What the actual fuck is wrong with this guy? He's so bent on hating the environment he will actively fuck it up even when it costs him to do so. He is a god damned Captain Planet villain.

Yup, a good old Boy Scout paper drive is about as anti-American as it gets and is part of the liberal "War on God".
Scrap metal is sin.

When a good 'ol country song sings about a "scrap yard dog", it's means the hounds of Hell!
He said in November that he would fire anyone who mentioned the name "Obama." On that basis, he should have fired himself and a number of his guests several times over.
The fundies are fond of saying how people of 70 years ago would find the world of today loathsome and incomprehensible. People 70 years ago would have found Beck's attitude abhorrent, crazy and downright unpatriotic.

Interesting coincidence. I was just thinking to myself that somewhere, and old Nazi is calculating how many bars of soap Glenn Beck would make. Reduce, reuse, recycle!
Everytime you think Glenn Beck can't get any crazier, he finds a way to.
Newsflash, CFL lights aren't just good for "saving the environment", they cut down on energy use (cheaper electric bill) and also help cool the room in the summertime because they produce far less heat than standard light bulbs. Recycling also has many uses as well aside from a general concept of "saving the environment". Drinking water from bottles is ridiculously expensive, and water coolers/tap water filters can save you a hell of a lot of money. Why do hate saving money, Glenn?
Seriously, someone call Captain Planet and the Planeteers, because I think they have a new villain.
Regardless of global warming, why would you not do this just to save fucking money? Even if global warming were false, how would that make recycling and what-not *bad*??
I can understand disagreeing with it, but fucking FIRING someone for getting different light bulbs? Is that even *legal*?
Ugh, for all I know about the American legal system, it probably is... *sigh*...
What I'd love to know is why anyone even works for this crazy asshole.
So, fuck God's order to us to be Stewarts of the Earth, then. You'd rather choose the more expensive and garbage-creating option, than the cheaper and environmentally friendly option, just to spite science.
