Default Utah NAACP Leader Excoriated

"Excoriated" How's that for a fancy word, eh?

Anyway, there was a front page article in the DNews today written by Doug Robinson on the woman who leads the Utah chapter of the NAACP.

http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,640187784,00.html

To make a long story short, Doug tears her to shreds. From start to finish. Pretty fascinating article. Apparently most of the criticism of this woman is from within the black community. One of the stories in the article is how she "manipulated" a recent election in part by recruiting voters from a local "Tongan Congregation". A Tongan ward perhaps?

In any case, the NAACP in Utah appears to be a complete mess. That' too bad.

And by the way, you men may want to grab a copy of Parade magazine today. There is an article about the health benefits of "frequent and rigorous" sex in a marriage. Good article to share with the wife.

I read that article. Nobody had a lot of good to say about her. It is a shame that they don't get someone else to run their organization. It is also a shame that their organization airs its dirty laundry in a public forum, when it is marginalized already.
