As is the norm the cover up is a greater political problem than the original problem. If it can be proven that there was a political motivation to the cover up then those responsible must be removed from office especially if that rises to the level of ultimate responsibility with President Obama. Gentlemen, this does not rise to the level of malfeasance and crime that was Watergate but there are issues here from what We have read that could lead to Impeachment hearings. Any political observer must keep in mind that Obama never has to run for office again and a failure to secure a conviction in the Senate would be a disaster for the GOP’s far right bloc.

Bryce Reed, an emergency medical technician who was among the first responders to the massive explosion of a West Fertilizer Company plant in West, Texas on 17 April 2013, has been arrested and charged with possession of an explosive device according to Reuters. A local Fox affiliate, quoting an anonymous source within the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms & Explosives, stated that Reed had been arrested in connection with the explosion which has not been confirmed at this time. The nature of the dangerous device also has not been confirmed. The Texas Rangers have opened a criminal investigation into the explosion.

Protecting the Constitution does not mean catering to and protecting white privilege it means equal protection under the law and equal rights for all. For far too long white men have had more power, wealth and the pleasures of freedom than any other and now that that inequity has been chipped away in the most miniscule ways suddenly there is an uproar about how the Constitution is being trampled. Well gentlemen too many who think, speak and act as some silently felt half a century ago are now seeing that their children and grandchildren will have to pay by living and working in what will be a level playing field in the coming decades. No longer will your religion, your sexual orientation or your race determine the limits placed upon your by a silent but deadly racist patriarchy. Those times are dead.

Thirty one students may miss prom and six who are seniors may even miss their graduation ceremonies after the Scripps Ranch High School administrators suspended the 28 girls and 3 boys. The San Diego Unified School District Board is reviewing the punishment. From the San Diego Union Tribune:
The video apparently violates the school’s sexual harassment policy that prohibits verbal, visual or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Twerking involves the shaking and twisting of hips in a suggestive dance move.
The U-T confirmed that students in a broadcast journalism class used school equipment to record and add music to a video of the group of girls twerking while doing handstands.
The district official said it would have been acceptable if the students had been twerking upright but said doing it while doing a handstand was considered inappropriate in an educational setting.
The American Civil Liberties Union criticized the punishment.
“Unfortunately, the administration at Scripps Ranch High School’s hasty response to its students’ dance video is reflective of a national trend towards unreasonable, overly harsh, and counterproductive disciplinary measures,” said Margaret Dooley-Sammuli, senior policy advocate for the ACLU of San Diego & Imperial Counties.
“We want young people in school so they can learn and become successful and productive members of the community. What is gained by removing 31 students from the classroom, their prom, and even, possibly, their own graduation? It serves no purpose for the student, the teacher, or the community to keep children from learning.”
A memo sent out by Bill Kowba San Diego Unified School District Superintendent which has also sparked controversy is said to have read “28 were white girls and three were boys of color.” This prompted the leadership of the San Diego Unified School District to demand no further comment be made to the press. The full text of that memo follows:
Board Trustees,
Please do not disseminate. This is student sensitive information.
Earlier this week, the SRHS principal suspended 28 white females and 3 male students of color for their role in a video made on the campus. The video consists of a twerking display, young women gyrating against a wall while standing on their hands. A young male is in the video in a sexually suggestive role. There is a salacious background music that accompanies the video. There are clearly articulated obscenities in the background music. The credits at the end include offensive, demeaning language. The video made it to UTube for wider dissemination.
I have seen one of the versions of the video that contains everything I described above except the credits clip. It is my personal opinion that the video is a deeply offensive production with implications for lewd conduct, sexual harassment, and gender victimization. It is especially insulting to SRHS, having been filmed on district property without district/school authorization and involves the naming of the school and young women wearing SRHS apparel.
Principal Anne Menna responded with an investigation as soon as it was reported to her. All but a few are 11th graders. Every student was properly interviewed by either the principal or one of the two vice-principals in accordance with a template script. All of the parents were contacted. The school leadership team consulted with the Placement and Appeals Office for proper handling of the matter. Based on information collected, all of the students were issued a two-day suspension that will be completed today. I asked Anne about the parental reaction. In all but a couple of instances, the parents were disappointed and embarrassed.
I have asked both the Placement and Appeals and General Counsel staffs to review the SRHS leadership actions and due process to ensure that every consideration was rendered to all parties. This is a matter of school discipline, a confidential student matter protected by the Federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. It is both sensational and scandalous, an attractive media item. I ask that you please refrain for public comments, but rather direct any media inquiries to Chief of Staff Bernie Rhinerson and his communications team.
All 31 students are appealing the suspension.
The full video is below so the reader can decide.

What just happened in North Dakota shows how far some politicians will go to take away women’s access to safe and legal abortion.

Sometimes, white privilege isn’t about stuff. It’s not always about better opportunities, or more money, or even greater access to those things than people of color.

I’m kind of obsessed with facebook, and that’s because while for some people facebook exists as a venue for drama and narcissism, I’ve used it to create a space that is productive, nurturing, and affirming. I’ve been working on it for years, and I’m happy to say, I feel successful that I have actually created a positive sanctuary on the internet. It’s small, […]
I know I’m backed up on stories I promised- Feminique renovations, Vagina Monologues, Sex Week with MTV, and my wedding. Working on those ASAP :) Thanks for following along!
My facebook status at 12:55 am: If there could be one weekend in which I did not have to intervene on and call the police on a domestic dispute outside of my bedroom window, that would be great.

Ok, maybe I’m missing something here but how can Mitt Romney initially support the Ryan plan, then pick Ryan for VP and THEN…reject the Ryan plan and say he’s going to create his own budget?
