Regarding White Baylor Law grad versus Black Harvard Law grad here is what Van Jones has to say about it. “I had a professor who encouraged me to apply to Harvard and Yale [for law school], which was almost unheard of for students coming from the kind of public schools that I was coming from in the rural South. I was accepted to both places, and decided to go to Yale because Yale didn't have any grades and was smaller than Harvard. I figured, once I enroll I'm guaranteed to graduate, so I can just go and be a radical hellraiser student, and they can't do anything about it. Which is pretty much what happened." http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/09/yale_law_school_and_why_van_jo.html

Book are you really surprised at the color guard revelation? All you have to do is contemplate any group that is formed for some kind of ceremony or recognition, and you can usually predict in advance how it will look.
But, speaking of our latest terrorist (can I say that?), I don’t know whether Major/Dr Hasan’s attained and retained his position through affirmative action. There have been mixed stories about his professional competence. I suspect that in his particular profession it would be hard to do an objective appraisal; and certainly some reluctance to do an adverse subjective one.
I do believe that his ability to “slip under the radar” as an ideologue who was increasingly hostile followed directly from fear of consequences on the part of people who might have controlled him.. Clearly, we have protected groups in our society. Unfortunately, as we should know by now, some of them are dangerous to us; and we are going to periodically pay a price for ignoring the facts I hope this incident, tragic though it may be, will at least remind us of our folly, and help us to guard against even more devastating attacks.

If you have the stomach, you can read about Anthony Sowell of Ohio. For me, it was the use of the word, ‘stench’. It’s harsh, strong and can make you feel woozy just listening or reading the word. We’ve all experienced an odor that makes you reel backwards on your heels, but we usually just say it wreaks, or stinks to high heaven. So bad, such evil, so many bodies that they dug up the backyard, taken the house apart and now will do with high tech measures to investigate the house next door with the same stench. What happened at Ft. Hood, who perpetrated, who neglected their duties as officers or human beings is not just repugnant, there is a taint of stench that has permeated the military. It’s not who dunnit, it’s what did it and how do we begin to ‘undo it’.

Securities Class Actions Securities class actions are typically brought on behalf of a group of investors who have been injured as a result of a company's improper conduct, such as misstating earnings, concealing or misrepresenting risks, or otherwise engaging in activity detrimental to the company. Other securities actions are brought as direct result of a financial advisor or broker's, or group of advisors, repeated misrepresentation, negligence, dishonesty or fraud. I am not a lawyer, so I just picked one that read right to me. I think the Navy Color Guard and Ft. Hood qualify for immediate prosecution. I, Sadie, on behalf of America and all my swell friends and buddies in Bookworm Room vs Lack of Common Sense, Addition to Political Correctness, any and all Stupidity hereby summon all, persons, groups and their affiliates, to appear before the PUBLIC and explain themselves.
