Prophet In The Wilderness

Then:

Who's behind this tripe? We'll let people who give a shit dig into the money, but it all looks like a nice gig for one Virginia (Ginni) Thomas [...] new social entrepreneur and the Founder and President of Liberty Central, Inc. (Founder, Pres. & sole proprietor, judging from the biography section. That must make it easier to put the grassroots funding directly to Ginni's offshore tax haven, or the household account.)

Why does "social entrepreneur" make us think of the madam in a whorehouse, anyway?

And what is Liberty Central, Inc., beyond its obvious function as a cash conduit to "proud Nebraskan" (One of her "professional accomplishments." So proud that she lives in Virginia.) Ms. Thomas &, just maybe, possibly, a cash conduit to Mr. Thomas (first name: Clarence) as well, who has a life-time wing-nut welfare appointment in the judicial system? LibertyCentral.org is a non-profit, non-tax deductible organization which will have a user-friendly, entertaining, and educational website designed to provide an online community for visitors to preserve freedom and reaffirm the core founding principles. Their (her) own shorter: "Where like-minded people gather to preserve freedom in America." A gathering of the "Don't confuse us. We know what to think" gang. Here shall they gather, to be ill- & mis-informed by Ms. Thomas & her interns.

Ahem! (Seven mos. later.):

But Jackie Calmes raises a related point today that I hadn't seen raised elsewhere.

[...]

So, the wife of a Supreme Court justice is receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars from secret donors -- who may or may not have a case before the high court -- she doesn't have to disclose.

Does this seem kosher to anyone? Unknown entities are generously financing the work of a Supreme Court justice's spouse, and the public has no idea who's writing the checks, where the money's going, whether it might create a conflict of interest, etc.
