Donald Duck Meets Glenn Beck in Right Wing Radio Duck

A re-imagined Donald Duck cartoon remix constructed using 50 classic Walt Disney animated shorts from the 1930s through 1960s. Donald’s life is turned upside-down by the current economic crisis and he finds himself unemployed and falling behind on his house payments. As his frustration turns into despair Donald discovers a seemingly sympathetic voice coming from his radio named Glenn Beck.

Or will our favorite Disney duck decide that this voice is not actually on his side after all?

In April, by contrast, stress had eased in every state except two — and in 90 percent of the nation’s 3141 counties. Bankruptcy rates around the nation also inched up in May. The AP’s Economic Stress Index calculates a score for each county and state from 1 to 100 based on unemployment, foreclosure and bankruptcy rates. A higher score indicates more economic stress.
