SORRY...

The image is from a t-shirt design offered at t-shirt hell.com which I may or may not be known to have purchased a shirt or two (five). The story though, which is much more relevant, comes from CNN... This guy obviously missed a couple days (the last 60 years) of class...simply amazing -
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Congressional Democrats blasted former Education Secretary William Bennett on Thursday for saying that aborting "every black baby in this country" would reduce the crime rate, and demanded their Republican counterparts do the same.
"This is precisely the kind of insensitive, hurtful and ignorant rhetoric that Americans have grown tired of," said Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Illinois.
Bennett, who held prominent posts in the administrations of former presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush, told a caller to his syndicated radio talk show Wednesday: "If you wanted to reduce crime, you could -- if that were your sole purpose -- you could abort every black baby in this country and your crime rate would go down.
"That would be an impossibly ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do, but your crime rate would go down," he said.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, called on President Bush to condemn the comments by Bennett, who was anti-drug chief in Bush's father's administration.

Simply amazing...

Not to say i'm for or against that, but in the way of stats African-Americans only make up 14% of our population yet over 67% of the people in jail are black. Maybe he's right.
