Ángela Bachiller recently became Spain's first city councillor with Down Syndrome. Aged 30, Bachiller had already been working for two and a half years at Valladolid City Hall as an administrative assistant.Keep in mind that virtually all Down Syndrome folks possess low IQs and varying degrees of mental retardation. Then this:
Following a hectic first week on the job, Bachiller is now taking a holiday with her family in Mallorca.Alrighty then.
I ran across this gem in the WSJ:
In a move some claim is tantamount to social engineering, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is imposing a new rule that would allow the feds to track diversity in America’s neighborhoods and then push policies to change those it deems discriminatory.
The policy is called, "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing." It will require HUD to gather data on segregation and discrimination in every single neighborhood and try to remedy it.That's right. The Gov't is going to "remedy" it. People living in failed communities will be injected into nice neighborhoods. I wonder if the gubmint will gather up destitute Appalachian "crackers" and foist them upon successful black neighborhoods as part of this doomed-to-fail social experiment? Probably not.
I've been saying for quite some time that the only way to beat these effers at their own game is to consistently claim any "minority" genes you can scrape from the bottom of the genetic barrel. Go to 23 and Me, spend the hundred bucks, and let 'em sort through your cheek-swab cooties for that .01% of sub-Saharan African or that tiny drop of East Asian/Native American. Then CHECK THE BOX on all government forms.
There! I'm a subversive plus I'm WAY out on the political un-correctness limb! WOOT!
Today's levity:
