The bees are buzzing again.
Now that Oprah is no longer selling books on TV, Simon and Schuster has cut a deal with Beck’s production company Mercury Arts to create an “imprint” – basically a a brand of books published and distributed by S&S, but largely run by Mercury.
Just any time now, look for a special edition gold edged Glenn Beck Bible.
Whether you think this is a good thing or not, this announcement is certainly newsworthy. Going down the list of who reported this news pretty much gives you the complete list of media outlets that are NOT YET under the control of George Soros and the Obama regime.

One of the things that has disappointed me about Rush Limbaugh is – despite his spirited defense of capitalism, he has never viewed himself as more than a guy doing a radio show three hours a day under a long term contract. Beck is building an empire much bigger than himself.
“Just any time now, look for a special edition gold edged Glenn Beck Bible.”
— I can see it now — “become a double secret access super partner for just $99 per month and we will send you the magic decoding key that allows you to ‘discover the networks’ in the Bible text”.
Beck could do his own version of the Bible Code

In Beck’s version, rather than finding secret Bible prophecies and predictions hidden between the lines, you would find George Soros and every secret deal and connection affiliated with him.
I’m sure that the gold edges would be sold at the going troy ounce rate; which will make a 19.99 Bible into a 1,599.99 bible.
With regard to Glenn Beck, whether your love him or hate him, two things have proven to be true: 1) Most of what Glenn Beck says and/or predicts is true, and 2) he is one heck of a good businessman. He is building an empire that covers much more than just his voice on the radio or TV. If he continues to be successful, maybe he’ll have enough money to buy Soros….I just sayin’
