Even a conservative gets sentimental. Saying goodbye to Cornell after 10 years is tough. So in my last column, I want to say to my readers, my colleagues at the Cornell Sun, my professors, my friends and my foes: I don't regret a damn thing.
You all were tremedously lucky to have me around for 10 years and especially lucky to have me writing my column in the Sun this part year.
97% of Cornell faculty are registered leftists. The University President is Mr. Racial Quota King, and he is surrounded by a coterie of liberal sycophants.
The Sun's editors are all liberals, and 91 percent of the politcal columnists are left of center. I provided you a viewpoint that is totally absent from your classrooms, your dorms, and your campus mainstream media. You're welcome.
Never again will you see columns in the Daily Sun like 'The Cynthia McKinney Debacle,' in which I pointed out her hiring was clearly a political payoff to the Africana Studies and Reasearch Center.
How many Sun writers could withstand the charges of xenophobia after writing an essay like 'No way, Jose!' in which I declared unless we stop illegal immigration 'we can all say adios to American culture and American jobs?'
Or how about standing up to radical gay leftists who 'do not want to keep the bedroom door closed anymore but [rather want] to remove the hinges from the door, tie you to the bed and force you to watch and endorse their perverted sex lives.'
And who at the Sun will confront the crazy bra burners as I did in 'Ode to Housewives?' Absolute hysteria broke out on campus as I made terribly controverisal statements such as, 'Deep down, every young woman wants to find a husband who will love and protect her,' and 'Stay at home moms are the great heroes of the American family.' What subversion!
The last decade has been fun for me. But as I leave you now, just think at what you will be missing. Because gentelmen, this is my last Sun column. I now return you to your regularly scheduled liberalism.

city of evil ping
We've got so many new ping lists (Hollywood, RPR) I cant keep em all straight!
I wish this hero all the best that life has to offer. May his pen stay sharp, as well as his wit, and laser perception.
Damn. That was funny.
Sniff...
That's exactly how I feel about me and this forum.
Please send cash in lieu of flowers to ease this burden and to further enhance my self-esteem, after all, I am a product of a parochial school education.
FOZ News should put a call over th campus and hire this guy as a intern commentator.
Poor baby! You need obviously some self esteem education
'Harvard's Unpaid Whores' is a classic as well.
Nice piece. And worth a visit to his site to read some of his other work.
I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot more from Joe...
Good conservative voices are hard to find. I enjoy Sabia's writings.
When I heard calls to "flatten Fallujah", I kept pondering if we had the right target.
A slightly longer version:

Sabia has his own website
http://www.joesabia.com
I decided to throw him 20 bucks via his donation button, I figure it's a worthy cause to encourage writers like him to keep up the good work!
Oh, nevermind. This is what is linked to above, not the Cornell Daily Sun version.
It was great to see his columns every week completely clash with the staid Ivy League liberal worldview.
Absolutely, I'd give Sabia 50 or 100 if that would keep him on campus and annoying rich Ivy League libs.
Proud to be among those 3% of Cornell's faculty with a little common sense.
We do owe Joe a wealth of gratitude for operating in enermy territory for so long. Mr. Horowitz will be getting a battle proven officer.
Im sure we will be seeing a lot more of Joe in the future.
