Was B-HO's community organization a "black hole?"

What did he “organize” and was he successful at it?

When any B-HO supporter is asked to name one accomplishment B-HO has achieved, after about a minute and a half of trying to think of one, they settle on the fact that B-HO gave up six figure jobs to work as a community organizer.

OK fine. But why does the questioning always stop there. Why not ask:

Who did he organize for?
What were his responsibilities as an “organizer?”
How much was he paid?
Who supplied the money for the “organization?”
What did he accomplish in his “organizing” efforts?
How many people was he responsible for?
Did he have to meet a pay role or plan and execute a budget?

These are not gottcha questions. I’ve never heard any of these questions asked and truly wonder what we might learn about B-HO if they were.

What we can look forward to

On July 9th, some idiot named John Wiley Price who is a Dallas County (TX) commissioner, protested when another commissioner - Kenneth Mayfield - used the term “black hole” to refer to lost paperwork. In any organization larger than a one man shop, the administrative area is always and forever referred to as the “black hole.”

Here’s how this thing played out:

Price: “Can I get an apology, from this day and time (pounding his fist on the table), you don’t sit at a table, where you have diversity, and refer to a black hole!”

Mayfield: Well, sure I do. It’s terminology. It’s a science term!

Mayfield is right. A black hole, as I understand it, is an object in space so large or dense that its gravity will not allow anything to escape – not even light - hence the term black hole. So it’s the perfect analogy for an office where papers, bills, orders, vacation requests and phone calls come in but nothing ever comes out. Every admin office in the Marine Corps, no matter how efficient, is referred to as the “black hole” as a joke and a poke.

(This reminds me of one of the greatest lines ever from the 3/11 Bn admin officer – CWO-3 Larry Scamara – who I was ribbing back in the day. After he got sick of it, he said, OK Schumick you mess with me and I’ll mess with your pay and we’ll see who gets tired first. My quick reply was, you are way too professional for that Larry.)

Price, being a total ignoramus, not only defended his black hole protest, has also proclaimed “angel’s food cake” and “devil’s food cake” racist terms. God forbid that Dallas County should ever get into the “black” financially.
