O RLY?

Oh please.  I hate that type of snooty, cooler-than-thou, I-know-everything ideologically-driven professor clothed in brittle pride.  The best professors I've ever had were warm, informal, cheery folks who never appealed to their own authority, lectured as if delivering divine dicta from on high, or talked down to people.  Best line in the piece, though: "Let me be clear, I'm not trying to disparage professors."  Heh.
