Everyday Breaking News

Glenn Beck said today that he suffered from macular dystrophy, a condition that could leave the popular TV and radio broadcaster, blind! This has generated a lot of searching around the news, including more information about macular degeneration.

Beck announced his status in Salt Lake City, during a presentation that was scheduled as part of its "America Revival Tour." He decided to see a doctor when he realized he could not focus his eyes.

Macular dystrophy is a disorder of the eye.

Now many people are remembering a show he did in 2006, in which he joked about the blind? Karma? You be the judge ... This is what I joked at the time:

"I work at Radio City in downtown Manhattan, and the doors, you know, like when the - you know - the office kitchen is, in Braille, on the wall says' the kitchen." Should be - a blind person would have to be feeling all the walls to find "the kitchen." Just to get angry, I'm going to put in Braille on the coffee - I'll get, 'Pot is hot. "Ouch!"
