I hate to link to the Times

so I won't. If you have TimesSelect (I don't) go over and read John Tierney's latest diatribe on the paucity of conservatives in higher education. I wonder, is there any connection between the 20 year crusade by conservatives against higher education and the claimed declining numbers of conservatives in that same profession? Do they somehow think that demonizing professors will convert them to their cause? really? honestly? or that by calling the instutitions corrupt and biased will somehow convince conservatives to become professors?

come on, people, get over it. The more you complain, the less likely it is that people who actually respect you will enter the profession. or is that maybe the whole idea? it can't be that cynical, can it?
