I couldn't have imagined this either, Tom, but then I can't fathom 
Clarence Thomas, a man who rose to prominence and power on the backs of 
much greater men like Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Jr., Bayard 
Rustin, and Thurgood Marshall, only to turn all of their hard work and 
self-sacrifice to ashes for the sake of his own personal advancement.  
And -- allow me to be the first to dare say it -- I also can't imagine 
what would possess Christopher Morris, Grayfriars's first (meaning 
only) African-American graduate to declare that he agrees 100% with 
Doug Wilson's revisionist Civil War history pamphlet, "Southern 
Slavery: As It Was."  Pick up the Lewiston Tribune today and have a 
gander at Dave Johnson's interview with Mr. Morris.  It's quite 
unbelievable.  Literally.

I hope Mr. Morris has a long, long spoon.  You need one when you choose 
to sup with the devil.

PS:  There.  Now I've done it.  I have only to sit back and wait for 
the accusations of racism to roll in from the likes of HairDoug, 
NotSoHair Dale, and the rest of the CC elevator music factory.  I'm 
sure I'll find myself misquoted on Herr Courtney's blog, but I'm ready 
for that.  In fact, I've got a quotation from Terry Pratchett all lined 
up and waiting in response:

"Just because someone's a member of an ethnic minority doesn't mean 
they're not a nasty small-minded little jerk."  -- Commander Sam Vimes, 
'Feet of Clay.'
