Rush Limbaugh Hates Penn

rushcigar

Rush Limbaugh thinks you're stupid if you major in Classics, especially if you do so at the trailer park of the Ivies. In his radio program Monday, he took an inordinate amount of time to thoroughly defecate on the idea of being a "sad-sack" scholar going to college and studying, well, pretty much anything that isn't "law or medicine." After going on a very long rant about (what else?) Karl Marx, he gets to discussing a real-life example of a Classics department: ours.

Department of Classical Studies, University of Pennsylvania? ...Okay, so I won't be able to get to it 'til I go to commercial break. So it's worthless to me right now... I expect it to be worthless after I read it and it's worthless, I can't go through it because I'm in the middle of a segment... found the Classical Studies department at the University of Pennsylvania... I can't wait to find out exactly how right I am about this.
The department's website, unfortunately, "does not make [him] want to sign up for a major in this." Because Penn "steer[s] people to useless degrees."

If you're still sluggish this morning, make your way through the whole transcript— it'll make your blood boil and wake you up. Or you'll be so amped in support you'll want to go punch a Classics major/Occupier/whoever else Limbaugh is not down with today.
