Idiot of the day: Columbia University literature professor Edward Said weighs in with this doozy in an online discussion group:

The slogan "NYC, Terror Free" worries me. To throw anyone out of New York would be unjust. The cycle of hostilities since September 11th have (sic) spun out of control. My answer to PLO out of NYC is that the moment we start kicking terrorists out of New York City - I leave also. A terror-free city is no place for me.
Salaam,
Edward

Don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out.
