Is this real?

[Giles Orr]

I just returned to Toronto after ten years of working at a small
university in Georgia.  I couldn't tell whether the
shellytherepublican article was supposed to be humour or not either
because, despite the disclaimer saying "no one is like this," this
could far too easily have been written by any number of the students
at the university I worked at.  Now if the site had suggested sending
a crack team into Finland to retrieve and execute Torvalds the same
way they retrieved and executed Bin Laden, that would have been funny.

While the students were 60-70% Republican, about 95% of the faculty
were raving Democrats.  But the remaining 5% included some hardcore
Baptists who occasionally inspired hugely entertaining flame wars on
the faculty mailing lists.  But don't forget your asbestos underwear.
