DNA evidence of ignorance in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• DNA guru James Watson retired on Thursday, after sparking controversy with comments about the intelligence levels of Blacks (see Essay 4603). Wonder if he’ll hold his retirement party at Sylvia’s in Harlem.
• Oil giant BP will pay $373 million as part of a settlement of charges related to a deadly Texas explosion, an Alaskan oil spill and more. “If our approach to process safety and risk management had been more disciplined and comprehensive, this tragedy could have been prevented,” said BP North America President Robert Malone in reference to the Texas incident. “We did not provide our people with systems and processes that would have enabled them to appreciate the risk of a catastrophic release” of explosive gases at the refinery in Texas. Let’s see how BP spins all of this into one of its inane feel-good advertisements.
• A new poll showed nearly one-third of people believe in ghosts, and about one out of four claim to have actually seen one or felt its presence. No word if the polled people lived near BP refineries.
