Our boy Ben has a new sidekick. Newer even than Shaquille O'Neal.
I refer of course to a squirrel namedFilbert.
At least I'm reliably informed that Filbert is his name although this particular clip doesn't use it.
What kind of accent would you say this squirrel has?
Anyway, the name "Rocky" was already taken, but it is a reasonable inference this is meant to be part of a series, and we'll learn more about Filbert over time.
A spokesman for the folks behind this ad say: “Ben Stein is the consummate professional and consumer advocate. Throughout his career, Ben has helped ordinary citizens better understand the personal effects of various consumer issues. Ben Stein is the right spokesperson to highlight the importance of a consumer’s credit scores as Americans search for ways to take greater control of their personal finances.”
Keep telling yourselves that.
Meanwhile, on another Ben Stein related front, I've found this piece of "danged-dignified" amusement, which involves PZ Myers and Richard Dawkins.
Knowledge is warranted belief -- it is the body of belief that we build up because, while living in this world, we've developed good reasons for believing it. What we know, then, is what works -- and it is, necessarily, what has worked for us, each of us individually, as a first approximation. For my other blog, on the struggles for control in the corporate suites, see www.proxypartisans.blogspot.com.
