You MUST be kidding me! DOJ to hire “Ebonics expert”?
And the left wants us to keep them in charge for this?
The Department of Justice is seeking to hire linguists fluent in Ebonics to help monitor, translate, and transcribe the secretly recorded conversations of subjects of narcotics investigations, according to federal records.
A maximum of nine Ebonics experts will work with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Atlanta field division, where the linguists, after obtaining a “DEA Sensitive” security clearance, will help investigators decipher the results of “telephonic monitoring of court ordered nonconsensual intercepts, consensual listening devices, and other media”
The DEA’s need for full-time linguists specializing in Ebonics is detailed in bid documents related to the agency’s mid-May issuance of a request for proposal (RFP) covering the provision of as many as 2100 linguists for the drug agency’s various field offices. Answers to the proposal were due from contractors on July 29.
Sometimes, the absurdity is just so glaring that there isn’t much else to say.
Exit question: Are there really linguists who specialize in Ebonics?
Thought for the day, “Ecclesiastes 10:2″ edition
A wise man’s heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man’s heart directs him toward the left.
Amen.
DC-area government school opens: Barack Obama Elementary School
Rumor has it that in honor of the president, the students will not actually have to accomplish anything in their coursework, but will instead only need to demonstrate the ability to speak flowery rhetoric and in glittering generalities. Bonus points if they are “light-skinned” with “no Negro dialect”…right, Harry?
Philly requiring bloggers to obtain $300 business license
Note to self: “Don’t move to Philly! Not only will you be greeted by a Black Panther wanting to club you and your children to death on Election Day, you will have to pony up $300 to keep writing Crush Liberalism.”
My endorsement for Florida GOP governor: None of the above
For those of you outside of Florida, here’s a recap of our GOP gubernatorial primary:
Attorney General (and former Congressman) Bill McCollum is running against businessman Rick Scott. Initially, I was leaning towards McCollum. Then, Scott began running commercials showing that McCollum opposed the AZ immigration law. At that point, I leaned towards Scott.
In response, McCollum ran commercials showing Scott’s hospitals getting in trouble for Medicare fraud, paying millions of dollars in fines. Though Scott was not implicated with any crimes, as CEO, he is ultimately responsible. I began having a few doubts about Scott’s judgment. Second look at McCollum, maybe?
Since then, the campaign has gone nasty and sleazy, by both of them. I received about 20 pieces of mail from Scott last week, calling McCollum anything but a child of God. One of these ads blamed McCollum for paying an expert in a trial with taxpayer money, only to see that expert get caught with a male prostitute in Europe. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? McCollum’s supposed to be culpable for that?
Scott has run a commercial lately that plays McCollum saying in one video clip that the AZ immigration law was “that far out”, and then saying in the second video clip that “No, I never said it was ‘far out’! I beg to differ with you.” Point made: McCollum’s a liar. He would have been better off saying “Initially, I thought the law allowed for racial profiling, but after actually reading all of it, I see that my initial impression was incorrect. Thus, I have now embraced the law.” But he didn’t. His first instinct was to lie.
So, I trust neither candidate. I will vote for neither man tomorrow in our primary. I fear that the nastiness of this primary has paved the way for Democrat Alex Sink to win the general election in November, and if that happens, I won’t forgive either of these two hyper-ambitious jerks.
