WSOU, Wildwood, & Scott Garrett

Former director of Seton Hall University’s WSOU 89.5 FM Pirate Radio, has pleaded guilty for embezzling more than $550,000.00 from Seton Hall University from 1991 to the termination of his employment in 2004.
He managed to lease out both of the station's FM subfrequencies without the University receiving a dime of the rent.

This is ugly. Rich at four four goes to Wildwood NJ to document the in-your-face racism of all the confederate flag merchandise sold on the boardwalk, & the people who purchase this shit. Good expose. But in doing so he reveals his own class prejudice as he recoils from the egalitarian, carnival atmosphere. Racism (& its symbols) is the reliable wedge used by the power classes to keep the underclasses from uniting & making common cause. If you say this too much & too loudly in the USA you're accused of fomenting class warfare in our classless democracy. Keep saying it & you might get whacked, like Dr. King, Malcom X, & Robert Kennedy. Fact is, black & Hispanic families do vacation in Wildwood. Drive up to exclusive Stone Harbor or down to victorian Cape May (which used to brag about being below the Mason-Dixon line) & you don't find rebel flag beach towels, but the darkest skins you see around town are the deep tans on the white people, except for some of the restaurant & hotel employees.

Scott Garrett (R-NJ5) was the only member of Congress from Jersey to vote against extension of the Voting Rights Act (HR 9). The official title of this bill is "Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act."

Comments:
We enjoy how boardwalks avariciously succeed in relieving people of their money regardless of race, religion, ethnicity or taste. If the rebel beach towels stop selling, there's always "gold" jewelry, poker slots & of course the outrageously-priced beach shop "sundries" one forgot to pack. I love Cape May City, always visit when I'm in the area, but I also know that it promoted itself as a southern-style resort for over a century. I'd drive up to Stone Harbor for a few hours to browse a nice bookstore & eat at a modest restaurant with great salads & mango smoothies, & look at herons on the way back to North Wildwood.
 
You don't want to get me started on Scott Garrett, now do you? Or the empty suit that the party hacks in Bergen County picked to run against him? When I think of how Camille Abate would have mopped the floor with Garrett over this vote, and all Paul Aronsohn is doing is hobnobbing with Clintonistas at fundraisers, I could just cry.
