Since we’re on the topic of weird stuff, we see that Kevin Barrett, professor emeritus of wacky ideas at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, plans to apply for more teaching jobs at UW after his fall course on Islam ends. Barrett created a controversy by teaching the theory that the Sept. 11 attacks were orchestrated by the Bush administration. What’s next, Kevin? A course on meteorology exploring the possibility that Hurricane Katrina was caused by UFO training exercises in the mid-Atlantic? Here’s a tip: If you’re looking for work, try Faber College, and be sure to tell Dean Wormer we sent you.
