"This is a good start!!!!"

It's like the old joke: What do you
get when you've drowned 1,000 liberals?

Okay, okay. I know this is advocating violence.
But it sure felt good.

My comment actually came from the same joke told about lawyers...

UPDATE:

Today on Moonbattery:

However, Boston College's Steve Almond has conspicuously failed to show the appropriate gratitude for Condi's willingness to speak at his college. On the contrary, he has publicly indulged in petulant indignation that anyone not sharing his juvenile political views should be allowed to speak at BC.

Almond wrote a childish open letter to the college's President, in which he resigned his lofty position as adjunct English professor and called upon students to disrupt Dr. Rice's speech. Drawing on a partisan report (PDF) prepared by staff members for liberal Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA), Almond rudely calls Condi a liar and proclaims that he has no choice but to quit his job — the "adult" equivalent of trying to hold your breath until you turn blue.

It doesn't seem Almond will be missed much at BC. He received a lousy 2.8 on a scale of 5.0 at RateMyProfessors.com, and that was inflated by his "Easiness" score.
