Creative ways to throw away your career

So a professor from ST. Olaf who stole McCain signs has been fired, and charged with theft. This is funny for many reasons. First because MN never would have gone for McCain, he was just wasting time. Not really worth it to get yourself fired over that. second because my younger brother goes to St. Olaf, i wonder if he ever had any classes with this clown. Third because this is a prof who is supposed to be promoting learning among the nation's youth, and instead is so closed minded that he has to steal and vandalize the signs of people who express opinions other than his own. And foruth because the way he got caught is by confessing on a national blog. I doubt that this will preclude him from working at another university, he may well be able to wear it as a badge of honor at the majority of universities, but this guy is a doofus, and i hope they hit him with the full punishment (90 days in jail) for stupidity.
