Glenn Beck’s University

.

I almost missed this one.

I wish I could tell you that this is a clever photoshop on my part — but sadly, no. This is the actual emblem of something called Beck University that was officially announced today by the king of all distorted right-wing media, although judging from the initial info its formal accreditation as one of America’s institutions of higher learning may be a few years away (and there’s no truth to the rumor that the Pac-10 immediately asked Beck U. to become a member):

From Beck’s web site:

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.

Only by paying Glenn Beck Inc. to become an extreme insider ($9.95 a month, or $74.95) can you enroll on Beck’s pseudo-cyber-campus. How else do you think Beck expects to sell that $4.25 million manse and move into bigger digs?

Of course I could not resist creating my own emblem for Beck University – one which I hope you’ll agree is more fitting for a school of the stature of BU.  My Latin sucks so if there are any Latin scholars out there, feel free to correct me.  The Latin writing should translate as: deception (deceptio), ignorance (ignarus), greed (cupiditas) and hate (contemno) which I believe pretty much sums up the main character traits of Mr. Glenn Beck.
