Glenn Beck Starts His Own University

He didn't even go to college and now he's starting his own "university"? What a deluded crackpot. I still fail to understand how anyone can take him seriously. Like calling Obama a "racist," when he must know that Obama is half white and was raised by his white grandparents. It makes no sense. Is it enough just to be provocative, while ignoring reality?* (Same with the "birther" nonsense.) Maybe a "real" university education would have bestowed on him some intellectual honesty.** (Now I'll cease giving him the attention he apparently craves (yet doesn't merit).) (You'll note I usually have very little to say about him, since I myself don't take him seriously.) This is from The Daily Banter here.

No seriously. Glenn Beck is starting his own online university to counter all the 'liberal lies' about American history. From his website:

School may be out for the summer, but for Glenn Beck class is just starting.

This July, while others are relaxing poolside, head back to the classroom - from the comfort of your own home. That may sound like an oxymoron but Glenn’s new academic program is only available online.

Offered exclusively to Insider Extreme subscribers, Beck University is a unique academic experience bringing together experts in the fields of religion, American history and economics. Through captivating lectures and interactive online discussions, these experts will explore the concepts of Faith, Hope and Charity and show you how they influence America’s past, her present and most importantly her future.

Beck even has a spanking new emblem for his virtual school:

Does this man's ego know no bounds? I'm betting he will announce his deity within the next two years, start a church (available only to 'Insider Extreme' subscribers) and have a statue of himself carved out of gold where people bring their babies to be healed.
