Rigorous Intuition comes
this from Jack Date over at the blotter.
An Ivy League business school professor is in federal custody for allegedly having videos of himself engaging in sexual acts with children, ABC News has learned.
Lawrence Scott Ward, 63, Professor Emeritus of Marketing at University of Pennsylvania's renowned Wharton School of Business, was caught with child pornography in his luggage and on his laptop computer after arriving at Dulles International Airport on a flight from Brazil, according to court documents.
...
Federal agents recovered at least three DVDs, in which Ward appears to be "engaging in sexual contact" with children, the affidavit reads. A video of children as young as eight engaged in sexual activity was also allegedly found on Ward's laptop computer.
...
Ward's resume lists several government consulting assignments including work with the Executive Office of the President, the FCC, Department of Commerce and the Special Action Office for Drug Abuse Prevention.

I know... y'all are wondering how the fundraiser went. Well, we blew through the $3,000 goal - in all, counting eChecks that haven't cleared yet and some more I'm expecting to arrive in snail mail, I'm looking at $3,400.
Absolutely amazing.
And scary. It means I really have to perform for you guys.
Well I'm hoping that what I've got planned (and I'm getting a lot of help on it, btw, so it's not super secret. I do ask though that if you know, you keep in on the q.t. for now - the element of surprise will be a huge part of this.
Thank you all!
Update [2006-9-2 12:25:10 by Mike Stark]: I have a feeling this diary will turn into a "meta" diary. Anyway, i just looked up the definition of "crony" and as much as I might wish it so, "crony" doesn't have it's commonly accepted meaning derived from recent colloquial use. The firm defininition is "close freind, chum".
So I changed the title.
And I'm betting that a lot of people that didn't like the first title are even more pissed off by the second.
My defense:
1) Nobody has brought me any information that disproves my allegation that the administration that allowed a male prostitute into the White House - sometimes, as evidence suggests, overnight - has also hired a kiddie porn offender.
2) Even if this happened between 1980 and 1992, this is linked to "Bush" - either in his capacity as President or VP.
3) Look up the Larry King scandal of the 1980's if you want more info on White House and Republican links to kiddie porn. Start with a search for "Craig Spence". You'll be shocked and disturbed. The fact is, there is a contextual history for the allegation I make in this diary.
