Columbia Professor/HuffPo Blogger David Epstein Pleads Guilty to (Misdemeanor Attempted) Incest
and we know this because . . . an unidentified The Other McCain reader Matthew Galluzzo noticed it. Read the rest.
As for why the MSM hadn't reported a lick on this sensational story, and as for why Columbia hasn't dumped him from their faculty for moral turpitude, I leave those things to your imaginations. Which imaginations you might now want to shut down for a bit.
Boy, did Oedipus get a bad rap.

Please, people. This is a Leftist PHD Professor at an “Ivy League Wannabe” University. If he had raped a whole Convent full of Nuns, and managed to plead it down to a Misdemeanor?
“We can’t cast judgement on his personal life, since he wasn’t representing the University when he raped all those Nuns.”
A Republican, OTOH? Ask Andrew Sullivan about that one.
As I’ve said before, we can either band together and buy us up some Media. (I’ve got about a Dollar-Two-Thirty-Eight left after taxes, usually, so how are you doing on that bit?) If we can’t afford that, we can start killing Leftist “Journalists”. They run scared if they are threatened. See the Muhammed Cartoons for a prime example.
But I’m even less enthralled by that idea than I am about selling my 401(k) out and buying a local newspaper.
Such being the case, we have to resort to alternative media, I guess. It’s the only Game in town.

We tell one like that around here. (Keep in mind that I live in Lower Arkansas. We’re closer to Texas than we are to the Hill people.)
Little Bubba graduates from 8th grade, and about a week later goes and tells his Daddy that he and little Buttercup from the next hollow over are going to get married. His Daddy says “I need to look into this”, and goes to town.
Daddy comes home later that day, and tells Bubba “I can’t allow you and Buttercup to get married. She’s a virgin!”
Bubba wails “But Daddy, what’s wrong with that?”
“Son, if she ain’t good enough for any of her kin, she’s surely not good enough for mine!”
But, as I noted. I live in Lower Arkansas. And I live here. I’m not “from” here, if you see the distinction. My parents weren’t related either.
And so it goes.

I’ve heard that told as both a Polish and Irish joke, but never an in-bred flyover country bitter clinger joke.
Thanks for expanding my repertoire :)

What?!? Attempted incest? What does that mean, he couldn’t figure our where to put it in?
Sounds to me like another meaning of “is” dealio.
And as Stacy asks, why is the University retaining this perv on the faculty? Attempted tenure?
They should be subjected to a squirm campaign of the first order.

I am the “unidentified reader” that sent RS McCain the email from the attorney and the info about the conviction. I am still surprised there isn’t more interest frm the right media to kinda rake this guy over the coals a bit ! I want to get pics of him running to his house, interviews with the daughter and wife. what about the Columbia U people, can’t some reporter get a statement.
Journalism is dead.
If I hadn’t been interested in this, no one would be. maybe I’m strange but this guy is the apitamy (sic) of the elite progressive flame throwing, America hating, destroying our country, scumbag left ! Roast him !!!!

Interview with the daughter (accomplice)? Not likely, apparently she doesn’t even have a name.

If Epstein winds up having problems with Columbia as a result of this unfortunate misunderstanding with the law, Obama is looking for a new Safe Schools Czar since Kevin Jennings has announced he is relinquishing the post. No word yet whether knowledge of fisting and water sports is an ongoing job requirement.

I’m not the guy who wants to start shooting at Government Officials and their fellow travelers just yet, and in fact, I’m the guy who has been known to announce that I hope it never comes to that.
But if it does?
I have a list of prospective targets in the event. I’m not ready or eager for such an eventuality, but simply because one has to have a plan for all eventualities….
Yeah. I have a deck of cards with pictures on them. (Figuratively)
Some people really shouldn’t be allowed to run loose in the world if things fall apart and anarchy reigns. That’s the danger of anarchy. Those of us who want a bit more order will cheerfully dispose of those who don’t, at that point, and since there are no longer any rules, who’s going to stop us?
Not that it will ever come to that. Our current “anarchists” are mostly like those in Europe, who are out proclaiming anarchy to get more Government subsidies.
But, all other things aside, notes are being taken. There are people around who I wouldn’t let live anywhere in the same area as my Grandkids, if things get that stupid. It should be noted, for the record and for some people’s edification.
Just saying it.
