University of Central Florida officials will place on administrative leave an assistant political science professor charged this week with 138 counts of possession of child pornography.
UCF police on Monday afternoon arrested Michael S. Reichert, 37, of Oviedo, following an investigation that began when employees in the computer services division reported receiving a hard drive from Reichert with pornographic child images, according to UCF officials.
Reichert started working at UCF in 2002 and did not have a contract to teach this summer, said UCF spokesman Chad Binette.

I can't wait until we can enslave all of the Conservatives, force their women to get abortions, make them watch gay porn, raise their taxes, and force them to read the New York Times.

By "top tier University in the State of Florida" I am referring to The International Academy of Arts, where I draw nude portraits of men while my boyfriend rubs my back.

My only regret is that I didn't have the cojones to join the military while supporting the Bush Administration. I figured that I'd just follow in his footsteps and hide in college like the sobbing coward that I am.
P.S.
Boy, do I EVER love the gays. And how!

I thought it was an informative and insightful documentary

AND I AS A CONSERVATIVE LOVE GAYS!
The BIRD CAGE is one of my favorite movies!!

John attends a top tier University in the State of Florida and knows first hand that that is a foolish and ignorant statement to claim that there are "plenty of conservative professors"
So blow it out your A$& Will

Anyone seen my friends Mr. Left nut and Mr. Right? They've been gone for a while now.

I take offense to the crack about China. We haven't had an Emperor for about one hundred years.

I don't see how Liberals fit into the picture here. It's just a guy who is sick in the head.
Does John know that there are plenty of Conservative professors as well, or has he just never gone to school outside of the 10th grade? Talk about ignorance. No wonder we lost the Senate.

John, but I thought y'all hated the gays. I guess unlike President Shrub, I learn somethin' new every dern day.

I (John Johnson's Johnson) am not upset about my master's employment at McDonald's or his love for FOX news... What bothers me is when he puts me in the mouth of retarded Liberals who don't know when to keep them shut.
Posted by: John Johnson's Johnson | July 17, 2007 at 03:42 PM
Why would someone be stupid enough to bring child porn to work and load it on their computor and have it saved to their hard drive, knowing it's illegal? That's something you would find at someone's home not at their place of employment. And if it's at their home it's well hidden. Not exposed for anyone to find. This guy is either pretty stupid or was set up.

As John Johnson's Johnson I can say that because of my tiny size and predisposition to wilt under pressure, the only thing that gets me going is watching FOX while my master lovingly strokes me. Of course, this doesn't really help but it makes him feel better when he goes to work at McDonalds every day.

Rush is America's DOCTOR OF DEMOCRACY
and
HANNITY IS A GREAT AMERICAN
I agree Connie... Liberals should leave the country and go found some Stalinist state elsewhere. Your desire for an emperor to lead you spineless slime people tells me you surely must be a liberal yourself.
SO PLEASE GO! You may find your universal healthcare and emperor in CHINA
Posted by: EXACTLY | July 17, 2007 at 03:30 PM
I knew it! LIBERALS are all pedophiles. Rush and Hannity told me so. All colleges are filled with LIBERAL professors who push their "critical thinking". BAH! Everything I need to know I learned from Red Dawn and Fox News. If only we could find a way to ship them all away, then nobody would question Emperor Bush.
.....now all we need is the Jade Monkey.

Let the "little boy" jokes about UCF begin....just when the school distances itself from 0-11 football seasons and popped collar wearing frat douche bags pulling ignorant pranks that end up embarassing the school at a national level, we have to deal with this "To Catch a Predator" wannabe. Go Knights (not pedophiles)!!!

Another fine example of our dirt-bag Liberal College Professors.
They Hate America, but LOVE Children... 138 Little Children.
I hope the FED's don;t decide to check the computers at the St. Petersburg Times offices or they might find that there is a news paper FULL OF "Liberal UCF Professor Types"
I'm surprised this professor's name wasn't Howard Dean
Posted by: John Johnson | July 17, 2007 at 03:16 PM
keep an eye on this one to be sure he wasn't set up.
Notice that 'political science'. Could just be the wrong politics like the substitute teacher charged when someone ELSE's computer started popping up porno. Hmmmmm. Seems the school should be charged.
WITCH HUNTS !! This might not be one but keep an eya.
