Boston Globe's Unintended Use of Irony

In order to get the punchline, you must click on the link and read the asinine column by Mr. Steve Almond.

Just to separate the punchline from the link by a few spaces I'm going to type this run-on sentence as I wouldn't want the reader to accidently see the punchline before they've had a chance to click on the link and read the asinine column by Mr. Steve Almond.

Are you ready for the punchline?

(Just another filler row.)

On May 12, 2006, Mr. Steve Almond, in an open letter to the President of Boston College, that was published in the Boston Globe, resigned his post as an adjunct professor of English at Boston College to protest Dr. Condoleezza Rice being invited to speak at Boston College.

For those who read the link, I know you're on the floor right now laughing. While those on the floor try to regain some control, I'll let the rest of the readers who did not go to the link know that the link is to a column written by Mr. Almond that appeared in today's Boston Globe; the column promotes the Fairness Doctrine, you know, the liberal jive about "balanced" debate.

. . . and now those who didn't read the link join those who did on the floor . . .
