If we took a true survey of American colleges...at least 2,000 professors would be proclaimed as mentally unfit. If we took a true survey of American politicans...at least 4,000 of them would be proclaimed as mentally unfit.

I once watched a naval officer (10 years of service), over a 30-day period, demonstrate himself as mentally unfit. By the 4th week, we had all began to make notes and quietly suggest that he be removed from the Center. It took another four weeks before the leadership finally reacted...bringing in couple of bury Army MPs and they escorted him to the nearest medical facility. No one ever heard from this guy again. For 10 years, he was probably acting in this manner and no one ever challenged him.

"We're still not sure what the exact chain of events were that led to this guy being hired," he said. "We're still looking into that. I'd still like to know."

Let me suggest that the "chain of events" went a little something like this:

Law school dean: Got an opening on the faculty here. Any applicants from "diverse" candidates?

Assistant: Here's a guy with a Hispanic surname and a law-degree from a third-tier school.

Law school dean: Hire him. We'll pay him anything he wants. Tell him his first class starts Tuesday.
