Do People In Rhode Island Pay To Go To This School?

Is Erik Loomis the worst-spoken college teacher in America?  He really has a problem saying something that makes him sound dumb and then having to walk it back like he does in this thread.  Sorta shallow, sloppy expressions should at least survive a single blog thread.  It's weird, because as a college teacher you get paid to read and write.  I guess when we get what we deserve.
