Nobody can miss the point like a well-paid, federally subsidized scholar. Here are ten who tried and failed again in 2010:
1. An academic who believes that Social Security is sound;
2. Professors who still believe that the woes that afflict higher education can be solved through federal intervention;
3. A BC sociologist who sees the major problem in the Middle East as—Israel;
4. A Central Florida political scientist who can’t believe people would think President Clinton was left-wing;
5. A Berkeley prof bemoaning phantom budget cuts;
6. A Yale economist who compares global warming skeptics to Hitler-appeasing Neville Chamberlain;
7. A Notre Dame philosopher who tried to sell libertarians on welfare rights;
8. Back to Berkeley to find a lawyer who can’t understand why Americans like Red Lobster;
9. A University of Arizona prof showed the value of reading by not perusing her state’s new immigration law before denouncing it; and
10. A Lynchburg College art professor who worked Stalin into a D-Day sculpture even though old Joe was nowhere near Omaha Beach.
