So Virginia—the mother of American independence—elected a Governor who hates gays and loves the Confederacy. Some might say par for the course. But, wait, it gets better…
He’s now appointed Fred Malek to an important government position. Mr. Malek, if you’ll recall (and you probably don’t, but will from now on) was Richard Nixon’s ghetto sheriff, identifying then demoting the Jews who somehow rose to prominent positions during the Nixon administration.
I know filling out the Census is supposed to be the right thing to do—but if you live in Virginia and can quote every episode of Seinfeld, make sure you don’t wind up on Malek’s list!
