Curioser and Curiouser
anyone see any dots to be connected, here?
Now he’s done with the whole Homeland Security, Color Code, keep us safe from terrorists thing, where has Tom Ridge gone?
AP - Tom Ridge, the former secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and former governor of Pennsylvania, was named to Home Depot Inc.’s board of directors,
Oh, well, that’s nice. Ol’ Tom found himself a good place in business. whatever…
But Wait! There’s more.....
Home Depot®, the world’s largest home improvement retailer, today announced that the company has formed a hiring partnership with four of the country’s leading national Hispanic organizations, The ASPIRA Association, Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU), National Council of La Raza (NCLR), and SER - Jobs for Progress National. The Home Depot will work with these organizations and their strong network of local offices and contacts to help recruit candidates for full-time and part-time positions across the country.
...This marks the first time ASPIRA, HACU, NCLR and SER will work with a corporate partner on a single hiring initiative. The groundbreaking program was made possible through the Hispanic Association on Corporate Responsibility (HACR), one of the most influential advocacy organizations in the nation, representing 13 national Hispanic organizations in the United States and Puerto Rico.
So Tom Ridge, under whose WOT leadership our borders grew more porous, has now joined an outfit who—just recently—has affiliated itself with a group calling itself “The Race.” The same National Council of The Race that also opposes Prop 200 in AZ, the requirement for proof of citizenship for drivers licenses and the giving of preference in hiring on the basis of ...er, Race.
Oh, and in purely unrelated news; in June 2000, Home Depot® acquired the second largest home improvement retailer in Mexico. HD® also has a VP of Diversity and Inclusion. She is also a lawyer [JD UofP]. HD® also has a very diverse program of diverse commitments to diversity. [WTF is a “diversity event”? apparently they don’t even know...]
