University professors are a privileged elite that work between six to nine hours a week, eight months a year for an annual salary of about $150,000, according to David Horowitz.

Well, you know, when you figure that it was an 8-10 fold underestimate of our hours, and a roughly four-fold overestimate of the pay, it all kind of balances out, in an innumerate sort of way, doesn't it?

This Daily Camera article on Horowitz is a hoot.

He stood by the accusations, but told the crowd of about 100 people gathered for a lecture on academic freedom that a professor would not have grounds to make the same claims in front of a class.

"Everything I said is true. But if I were a professor, I should be fired, because that is not an education," Horowitz said. "I have a responsibility to students—the little followers of Ward Churchill and everyone else. If I were a professor, I would have to lay out all the viewpoints, all the facts, and give them readings."

I wonder how much Horowitz gets paid to travel around the country ranting, and how many hours of research he puts into making stuff up? If I go insane, would it be more profitable than sitting here in Morris doing my job?
