I actually ran across an excellent piece in Reason (not as popular as mother jones on this board, I realize) on [Glenn Beck U](http://reason.com/archives/2010/07/07/beck-u). If you scroll halfway down the first page, there’s a bulleted list of all the craziness he gets wrong.

This part is my personal favorite: “No one claims Castro was “democratically-elected,” except, perhaps, the brothers Castro themselves.”

According to that story he also received an honorary degree from Liberty University. Any bets on how long it’ll be before he starts using that as an excuse to refer to himself as “Dr. Glenn Beck.”

See, though, if he’s a “Dr.” he’ll put himself out of touch with Common Man. That won’t win him any fans!
