Where's mine?

Last night a bitter laugh swept through the faculty section every time David Horowitz repeated the accusation that college professors work only six hours a week, get four months' paid vacation a year, fly first-class to academic conferences, and earn $150,000 a year. Afterward several faculty members accosted the provost to ask, "Where's my $150K?" If I'm going to be publicly criticized for making that kind of money, I ought to have something to show for it.

I'll bet David Horowitz makes $37,500 a year and always flies coach.

Perhaps you are not dangerous enough to earn the big bucks?

Durn. I guess today is NOT the day to ask the provost for a raise.
