Lmao, this actually reminded me of the teacher of a political science class I took once. He was a fairly prominent, super-liberal investigative journalist and he spent most of our class time ranting about the Bush administration. This was during the 2004 presidential elections, and after the results came in he was convinced of a Republican conspiracy where some of Ohio's voting machines had been rigged, etc. For the rest of the quarter he spent more time discussing his research into the matter and looking for evidence, and sometimes being interviewed on radio talk shows (one day our class was cancelled due to this).

It was all entertaining to watch, but I learned almost nothing about political science. In the end I believe I got a B, which was a pleasant surprise as I can't really recall doing any work for it. Uh...wow?
