Affirmative Action CEO Almost Lynched Merrill October 30, 2007

Gone, but not forgotten — his golden parachute, even after his boneheaded executive decisions plunged ML’s stock prices, is still worth almost $160 million.
Perhaps ML’s Board of Directors thought it would make them the darling of the Civil Rights Industry when they made Stanley O’Neal CEO in 2002, but the dream turned into a nightmare when, as if he were that Greek tyrant that leveled the tops of corn stalks, he fired a bevy of senior executives to sweep away his potential rivals and replacements, then put all of ML’s eggs in the subprime mortgage basket. And when that market went to the low place in a handbasket, he concealed the depravity of the financial situation to the Board.

From Crazy Minds Come Crazy Ideas October 30, 2007

Remember, his (crazy) mind spawned a system which once ruled half the globe with genocide, mass murder, and an utter failure of a uber-collectivist economic policy.
Karl Marx, who complained of excruciating boils, actually suffered from a chronic skin disease with known psychological effects that may well have influenced his writings, a British expert said on Tuesday.
Sam Shuster, professor of dermatology at the University of East Anglia, believes the revolutionary thinker had hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) in which the apocrine sweat glands — found mainly in the armpits and groin — become blocked and inflamed.
“In addition to reducing his ability to work, which contributed to his depressing poverty, hidradenitis greatly reduced his self-esteem,” said Shuster, who published his findings in the British Journal of Dermatology.
“This explains his self-loathing and alienation, a response reflected by the alienation Marx developed in his writing.”

All four of Baltimore’s top officials, it’s mayor, it’s city council president, its comptroller, and it’s city’s state’s attorney (prosecutor), are all black women. And their new weapon against the city’s incessant crime problem? Compassion.
There’s Plenty of Blame to Pass Around, But None to Where It Should Go October 30, 2007

ST. LOUIS, MO (2007-10-29) Representatives for Missouri’s Division of Youth Services say case-workers aren’t paid enough and that fact is undermining attempts to rehabilitate troubled youth.
Nine juveniles are now back in custody after forcibly escaping from the Hogan Street Youth Detention Center in St. Louis.
Richard von Glahn is an organizing coordinator for the Missouri State Workers Union.
He says low pay and understaffing make it harder to create a working relationship with troubled teens.
“It is a less stable environment through their rehab, their less likely to act out so that when they come out of this facility their not fully rehabbed and they end up committing future crimes and then that puts them in the prison system.”
So, low pay, high turnover, and understaffing among juvenile detention center guards is to blame for these nine juvenile felons conspiring to escape, and gang-assaulting one of the guards in the process. I suppose the nine juvenile felons themselves don’t deserve any of the blame.
As the Hogan Street Youth Detention Center is a state agency, and state agencies in urban areas are little more than affirmative action hiring agencies, and Missouri’s youth corrections system is drawing praise from the liberal media for being more of a social services agency for teenage felons than a juvenile prison system, thereby resulting in a mollycoddling attitude on the part of administrators at such facilities, it’s not hard to figure how something like the Hogan Street Nine was able to happen. They didn’t need a Michael Scofield.

So much for the bromide that we need more H-1-B visas because there aren’t enough Americans with science and engineering skills. Turns out that American universities are graduating far many more graduates in those fields than there are jobs in those fields, and all that is notwithstanding the existing H-1-B visa immigrants.
So that guy who will be delivering the pizza you order tonight is probably has a degree in computer science, a massive student loan debt load which he will never be able to repay, and a life full of shattered dreams. Tip him well.
