Here’s the latest in the continuing, below-the-radar crisis of the feminization of America’s men:
AP reports that more and more male college students are going into Home Ec as their major. In a disturbing trend, the University of Georgia says that, in the last five years, males majoring in Home Ec have ballooned from 10% to a third. Sad.
To reflect the “men” and avoid embarrassing them (they SHOULD be embarrassed), many schools have now adopted the more PC term, “Human Sciences.” Other ashamed males majoring in this field call themselves, “Family and Consumer Scientists.” Whatever. It’s still HOME EC, even if you call the rose by another name.
“Our students graduate to become lawyers, loan counselors, directors of day care, dietitians,” said Sharon Nickols, dean of UGA’s College of Family and Consumer Sciences. “We just don’t know their major because they don’t say, ‘I’m a family and consumer scientist.'”
Gee, I wonder why.
We’ve already noted that the . Now, we must discount the percentage of men even more to account for the males vying for Bachelors of Science in Girlie-Mandom.

Need help voting? In a solution to the Palm Beach fiasco (butterfly ballots with old people who couldn’t figure it out), the City of Detroit “pre-votes” for you.
As reported by Detroit’s ABC news affiliate, some Detroit voters received their absentee ballots with the votes already cast for Detroit City Clerk Jackie Currie and her buddy, embattled Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick (“the Hip Hop Mayor”).
Strangely, Currie–who administers all elections in Detroit and distributes the ballots–got more votes than any candidate in the August primary. Gee, I wonder why.

Detroit’s Pre-Voted Absentee Ballots
All of this is on top of a Sunday Detroit News investigation that showed many absentee ballots–as many as 380,000!–registered to dead people, fraudulent/invalid addresses, and mentally incapacitated voters. The News reported that Currie’s paid workers “help” incapacitated voters in a back room at nursing homes.
The paper also reported that these suspicious “practices” date back to 1964, when Currie and her late husband were charged with soliciting people to sign applications for absentee ballots and “advising” them how to mark their ballots.
With Detroit as the largest voting bloc in the State of Michigan, is it any surprise that John Kerry won the State–with Jackie Currie on his side?
Unfortunately, The Detroit News (a/k/a “The Detroit Spews”) gives credence to Malik Shabazz as a legitimate Currie critic. He is a racist and anti-Semite in the Farrakhan mold, who blamed Israel and the Jews at a 9/11 memorial right after the 2001 attacks–conspiracy theories he has repeated at various speeches and appearances nationwide. Incredibly, the Spews doesn’t mention a lick of this. Par for the course at this apologist paper for radical Islam.

Remember Tampon Man a/k/a Prince Charles of Great Britain?
Yup. That one. The Prince who, in taped phone conversations, told Camilla Parker Bowles–with whom he was allegedly cheating on Princess Diana–that he wished he was Camilla’s tampon and wanted to “live inside your [Camilla’s] trousers.” Read the whole sleazy royal “conversation” between Camilla and Prince Tampon, here.
Now, Tampon Man is wearing an interesting new Halloween costume–Islam’s envoy to America. He told the Telegraph of London that the purpose of his visit, tomorrow, with President Bush is to impress upon Bush the virtues of Islam. Apparently, Prince Tampon doesn’t think the President and his (State Dept’s chief panderer to Islamic world) have pandered enough to Islamists who want to destroy us.
And what a surprise, fellow Brit and HAMAS fundraiser (and U.S. No Fly List resident) just loves Prince Tampon.

Prince Charles of Tampon: Islam’s New Envoy to U.S.
In any event, we think the choice of the Tampon Prince as the latest, most prominent envoy for Islam speaks for itself.
Can you blame Tampon Man for exalting Islam? It is the fastest growing religion (and Arabs are the fastest growing ethnic group) in the United Kingdom. There are 11 times as many Muslims as there are Jews in Britain, for example. It is the shekels of these Muslims, who have invested heavily in Britain and own a great deal of its businesses and properties (like the Al-Fayed family which owns Harrod’s), that fund the lifelong millions in welfare to keep the inbred Tampon Prince living in style without ever having held a job.
Plus, there is that Arab Muslim (son of Al-Fayed) who took his whiny, glorified high school drop-out ex-wife out of his life forever, so he’d be free to be with Camilla.
In America, too, we have people who do the bidding of sugar daddies. But we don’t call them “Prince.” We call them prostitutes. Most of them, however, haven’t made recorded pronouncements about the virtues of being someone else’s tampon.

In an interesting irony, today, Halloween, is the sentencing date for corrupt Customs and Border Protection (CBP) official Daphiney Caganap. But the treats are for her. The trick is on us.
We’ve , who ran the agency’s operation at Detroit Metro Airport–or rather, ran candle selling parties, ran marathons, and looking the other way while questionable illegals were let into the country, while she looked the other way. Sources say there are many like her at DTW (Detroit).
In San Ysidro (near San Diego), as head of the INS’ intelligence unit and anti-smuggling operations, Caganap helped cover-up an illegal immigrant and drug smuggling operation, allowing it to continue for years–in exchange for $30,000 in money, services, and gifts (including a new hot tub). She also lied to the FBI about it. Caganap was indicted for all of that.

Happy Halloween!
Corrupt Homeland Security Witch Daphiney Caganap Rides to Freedom
But, outrageously, Caganap will do NO jail time for this travesty. While Caganap stood to do 36 YEARS in prison, spineless federal prosecutors will instead recommend probation at her sentencing, today. This should tell you that our Justice Department simply isn’t interested in addressing the illegal immigration problem and the corrupt Homeland Security Officials who help it flourish. Because of Caganap, countless illegal aliens and drugs easily made their way into the country.
Then, there are INS and Homeland Security officials. They knew about Caganap’s bribery and cover-up as early as 2000 and certainly by 2001, but post 9/11, they continued to promote her and even transfer her to Metro Detroit Airport, a major gateway for illegal Islamic America’s entry. She was only indicted this summer.
This wasn’t the first time for Caganap, either. Reportedly, earlier in her career, Caganap was missing for days, not showing up for work or calling in. Her husband called INS officials and the FBI investigated. Sources say FBI officials found her at a bed and breakfast near the California desert with a female subordinate with whom she was allegedly having an affair.
Yet despite that and other incidents of similar magnitude, Daphiney Caganap was constantly and quickly promoted in the INS and then Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection–through absurd affirmative action to the extreme.
Caganap is a Black female. Would a White male get away with this and be constantly promoted? Would a White male get probation instead of doing time for this incredible series of crimes?
Don’t bet on it. My friends, on Halloween, we’re on the receiving end of trickery, courtesy of the goblins in the federal government.
It’s Daphiney Caganap that continues to get the treats.

More than four years ago, I was among the first to write about Sami Al-Arian, the University of South Florida Professor who founded Islamic Jihad and headed it up from his university office. I’d written about Al-Arian even before 9/11, but the only interest in him came after the attacks, when people became interested in my series of columns about him.
I appeared on FOX News Channel’s “O’Reilly Factor” and countless other media outlets. Since then, many also-ran writers have jumped on the bandwagon and ripped off my work (and even this photo I had of Al-Arian with President Bush).

Laura and George Bush and the Terrorist Al-Arian Clan
Yesterday, Al-Arian’s defense lawyer rested without presenting a case in the ongoing trial against him. Speculation is that he didn’t have to. After months and months of testimony, media reports say jurors eyes are glazing over daily. Clearly, prosecutors bored them and didn’t stick to the meat of the case against Al-Arian. It will be a travesty of justice if Al-Arian walks. He is responsible for the murder of many civilians, including the bus-bombing murder of American college student Alisa Flatow.
But while it will be a travesty, if Al-Arian walks, it will be no surprise. The Justice Department has a terrible record post-9/11 of prosecuting terrorists, losing most major cases. It’s as if they really want to lose and are just putting on a show for the post-9/11 audience who pays their salary, but whom they secretly disdain. The one terrific victory, in which prosecutor Richard Convertino obtained a guilty verdict against terrorists, Justice Department officials and a questionable judge .
Remember this, if an when Al-Arian walks–a very serious and sad possibility.

Now that Harriet Miers has pulled out of consideration for the Supreme Court, and the President has announced that he will soon pick a new replacement nominee for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, we hope he’ll nominate a real conservative, and not another O’Connor.
This picture, from a women’s conference held by Maria Shriver on Thursday, says it all: No More O’Connors, Mr. President!

It’s official: Your kids may be animal rights offenders. If they own fish and keep them in fish bowls.
In fact, if you live in Rome, your kids are breaking the law. In Rome, fish bowls are now banned–for being inhumane to fish.
Not surprisingly, the loons at PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals–as opposed to the better PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals) have given the Rome city councilwoman behind this absurd new law, Monica Cirinna, an award for going “further protecting fish than anywhere else in the world.” PETA has a “Fish Empathy Project.” Is JAWS included? Yes, I have a lot of empathy for the sharks that have been eating beachside swimmers and surfers. Don’t you?

Fish Bowl: Latest Crime Against Humanity . . . er, Animalty
Said Cirinna, “It’s good to do whatever we can for our animals who in exchange for a little love fill our existence with their attention.” Is she having an affair with her goldfish? It certainly sounds like it.
Go here for more absurd examples of how our Italian friends and their government invade citizens’ lives on behalf of animals. No wonder PETA likes that country.
Next, they’ll be calling aquariums, “Weapons of Mass Destruction.”

Another item sent to me by many readers while I was away was the report that Sheryl Swoopes, star player, has made it official: She’s a lesbian and is endorsing a lesbian cruise line.
Imagine that: Lesbians in the WNBA. No way! You’ve gotta be making this up. I can’t believe it. Really? Lesbians in the WNBA? Who’d have thought such a thing? You’re kidding, right?
Gee, after 30 pants suits and 10 pairs of sensible shoes per player, I’d never have guessed.

Sheryl Swoopes: Admitted Lesbian Amidst Lesbian-Dominated WNBA
Here’s a highlight from this year’s annual :
“Look at the 7’2″ Margo Dydek of Connecticut’s WNBA team – if you dare. . . . They aren’t making a scale version of Dydek Barbie anytime soon. Dyslexic young girls might unscramble the letters of her surname and get the right idea of what the WNBA is really about. That’s the image from which the WNBA is desperately trying to get away. But it’s stuck with it like white on rice (apologies to low-carbers).”

Just did BBC Radio (the Brit version of our NPR–National Palestinian Radio; same government funding and broadcast hatred of that government, different continent), discussing Harriet Miers’ withdrawal from Supreme Court nomination consideration and the impending possible indictments of Karl Rove and Lewis Libby.
Thumbs up on the Miers’ withdrawal. Thumbs down on indictments of people who did NOT out a working undercover CIA agent.

When I returned from being away, last night, my inbox was filled with articles about Frank Figueroa, also known as “Frankie the Fig” to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents around the country.
Figueroa is the ICE Special Agent in Charge in Tampa, now suspended. He’s suspended because he was caught fondling himself in front of a 16-year-old girl at a Tampa mall. He was arrested and charged.
I debated whether to write about this because I take no glee and experience no schadenfreude with this man’s shame and his arrest. I think it’s very sad–for Figueroa and the agency charged with enforcing immigration laws. Before the creation of ICE, I was a tremendous cheerleader for Customs (from which Figueroa came), and it is depressing to see what happened not only to this previously great law enforcement agency, but also to the INS (which was the target of too much unfair maligning).
I decided to write about the Figueroa incident because, as with many incidents involving ICE “leadership,” Figueroa’s arrest is symbolic of what’s wrong with the larger picture at ICE. He’s just one example of those who are promoted to positions of leadership in the combined agency that has replaced the once proud Customs Service and INS agencies.
Figueroa isn’t the first high-ranking ICE agent to be caught en flagrante delicto. And he will probably be allowed to retire quietly, ICE agents say. What’s remarkable is that Figueroa was given this position in the first place.
Experienced ICE agents tell me that Figueroa was Deputy Assistant Commissioner for Investigations in legacy Customs (before ICE), and it was very dysfunctional. At that position, he was more of a trouble magnet than a troubleshooter. He was given the cushy job in Tampa as a retirement “reward” for that.
Given Figueroa’s arrest, it is incredible that while was still at ICE Headquarters in Washington, one of his jobs was ICE Headquarters coordinator for Operation Predator, ICE’s special effort to crack down on sexual predators (related to the ). We don’t expect ICE PR to craft a new movie with the women’s cable network about this latest incident.
Nor do we expect to see a based on the “leadership” of Detroit’s Special Agent in Charge, (a/k/a “Abu Moskowitz”), who continues to have in his employ:
* an agent accused of ; and
* an agent caught .
Unlike Figueroa, both of these agents are still gainfully employed as ICE agents and won’t be kicked out. Why?
Moskowitz, himself, was witnessed by one of his agents using an April ICE getaway to “” to an extra-curricular female companion. He may have used ICE funds in the process. He repeatedly uses his position as ICE SAIC–and apparently his ICE office and phones–to recruit for his personal harem. But despite these and other inappropriate behaviors (like an ), Moskowitz is, nevertheless, reportedly in contention to become head of national security for ICE, a significantly higher pay grade. And right now, he is finishing up a one-month stint at ICE Headquarters as the ombudsman to his peers for ICE Director of Investigations
Then, there is , the Texas ICE agent who participated in the illegal handcuffing of a woman who refused to perform a sex act on the agent and her cop boyfriend in a hot tub.
Obviously, Frank Figueroa is not the first agent to do what he did. Nor is he exemplary of the majority of ICE agents who are hard-working, good people. The problem is that Figueroa is exemplary of the type of ICE agents that get promotions to leadership positions. The bad guys get ahead, and the good guys get persecuted. Many of , while undesirables tied to murder cover-ups, like Giovanni Guadioso (a/k/a “GG”), are promoted to the rank of Assistant Director.
Is the 36-year-old , nominated by President Bush to lead ICE, equipped to put an end to all of this and fix this sinking ship? Don’t hold your breath . . . .
Harriet Miers removed herself from contention for the Supreme Court. If she had any dignity whatsoever, Julie Myers would do the same with her ICE nomination.
