NYer has a thread on the Dr. Death visit and Bobby's protest. Thanks, NYer, and thanks for the ping, FV.

Tampa, Jul 18, 2007 / 10:25 am (CNA).- Dr. Jack Kevorkian is scheduled to speak at the University of Florida Oct. 11 for a $50,000-speaker fee.

"We figure that this will be a great way to engage our student body and entertain," said Steven Blank of ACCENT, the University of Florida student-government funded speaker's bureau.

"We do understand that this will spark controversy. And that is something we have done in the past," Blank told LifeSiteNews.com.

I cannot for the life of me think why anyone would pay 50 cents, much less 50 grand, to hear Dr. Death Kevorkian drool about killing people.

Did you notice that even in this brief interview he got the fact wrong -- said Terri was in a coma; and offered to commit murder -- kill her if Michael said so. That should be a parole violation.

Coming next month, $50,000 more great, engaging student entertainment: a lecture on how to torture puppies, with audience participation. Please bring piano wire and red-hot pokers.
