Remarkably absent from Donna Shalala's Wikipedia entry (a nice project for somebody) is any mention of her reign of error as Chancellor University of Wisconsin-Madison from
1987-1993. Remarkable because she must be among the few educators whose policies have been declared unconstitutional

it paid off for her. Shalala's stellar performance as multi-diversity thug caught the eye of the new co-President of the
United States. In 1993 Shalala was appointed to Hillary's cabinet
as secretary of Health and Human Services, where her policies were also

controversy.
In olden times (pre television) Movietone and Pathé news
features, shown just before the cartoon at the Bijou, used a device to
show the spread of threatening movements, like nazism, communism, the Democrat Party, and Hula-Hoops. Superimposed on a map, a curtain of black blood would
envelope the consumed area. That's the
mental vision I have now. Eastern Liberalism, and it's close
cousin West Coast communism, are seeping into America's Heartland
South. North Carolina is eaten and digested; Georgia is served.
