Despite its successes, Baker-Wambu & Associates suddenly shut down in 2006. It is hard to find precise dates or a specific reason why the successful consultancy closed. Baker later claimed she worked at Alta Capital Group in Chicago, a municipal bond broker-dealer, but there doesn’t appear to be a residence for her in the Windy City, nor did she appear to have ever held a residence in New York, as others have claimed. Baker later appeared in Martinique. Again, we don’t know precisely when, but we do know that she was still there very recently. Her latest business venture, a consultancy named Cape Caribbean, LLC, has, again suddenly, pulled its web site offline.
On the “About Us” page captured from the site before it was shut down, Baker provided a brief professional bio:
Prior to launching Cape Caribbean, Ms. Baker worked for Alta Capital Group-a full-service municipal bond broker-dealer. She joined Alta Capital Group after serving as a Principal at Baker-Wambu & Associates, a strategic political and fundraising consulting firm based in Washington, DC. Previously, she served as the National Finance Director on Senator Barack Obama’s 2004 Senate Campaign. She also served as the Deputy Political Director at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
I was unable to ascertain what Cape Caribbean, LLC actually did as a consultancy. Nor was I able to determine what Ms. Baker—the political fundraiser—actually did at Alta CG.
We don’t know what the fight was about, exactly, but at least one mutual acquaintance is pretty sure it was about a boy. The Harvard tipster tells us:
Stephanie’s close friend Yelena Shagall forwarded the email out after Stephanie confronted her because Yelena had slept with a mutual friend’s ex-boyfriend. During this fight, Yelena told Stephanie she would “ruin her life.”
I did say that I sensed some envy as the cause of this, didn’t I?
I absolutely do not rule out the possibility that African Americans are, on average, genetically predisposed to be less intelligent. I could also obviously be convinced that by controlling for the right variables, we would see that they are, in fact, as intelligent as white people under the same circumstances. The fact is, some things are genetic.
The clarification she sent out later.

The fact is, some things are genetic. African Americans tend to have darker skin. Irish people are more likely to have red hair.
Okay, this is a private email and it is taken from a conversation. I’m not defending her, but doesn’t she have the right to free speech? Why was a private email routed by someone that got the Black Law Student Association underwear in a knot?
“I just hate leaving things where I feel I misstated my position,’’ Grace wrote. “I absolutely do not rule out the possibility that African-Americans are, on average, genetically predisposed to be less intelligent.’’
The lengthy e-mail, sent to her two dinner companions six months ago, ignited an Internet firestorm this week when it was leaked and first reported Wednesday by the legal blog abovethelaw.com, followed by other websites.
I thought that law school was where you learned to take an argument and discuss it? It stands to reason that if you have a different opinion, you would (behave like a grown up) take the discussion to the table. I’m a bit perplexed about why this incredibly bright and diverse group would air a private email in public?
I could be wrong here, but I smell jealousy here. Stephanie Grace apparently is quite the law student.
Grace, an editor of the Harvard Law Review, is headed for a federal clerkship in California with Ninth Circuit Court Judge Alex Kozinski. She graduated from Princeton University in 2007 with the highest honors and obtained a degree in sociology, according to the university’s registrar. A Princeton website said Grace conducted research on how the racial composition of one’s freshman year roommates influences behaviors, attitudes, and perceptions in subsequent college years.
Did she read Michelle Obama’s thesis? And why is the mommyDean involved?
Minow called the incident “sad and unfortunate’’ but said she was heartened by the student’s apology. She added: “We seek to encourage freedom of expression, but freedom of speech should be accompanied by responsibility.’’
Grace issues an apology for a private email that was leaked around the world.
On Wednesday, Grace sent an apology to leaders of the Black Law Students Association, the president of the student government, Minow, and several faculty members.
“I am deeply sorry for the pain caused by my e-mail. I never intended to cause any harm, and I am heartbroken and devastated by the harm that has ensued. I would give anything to take it back,’’ Grace said in the apology, obtained by the Globe.
If this is what law school is all about, I have to wonder where these children will eventually find work? Silly me, I know the answer already…the government.
Perhaps, Ms. Grace is “misguided” in her thoughts? That would be the same term that POTUS used about those racists misguided folks in Arizona earlier in the week. Just my opinion, but she should be allowed to express herself in private however she believes.
Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged “immodest.”
DOWN WITH THE UN. It’s passe. Time to get rid of this monstrous leech.
The book that is. I was very excited when I found out that these two had collaborated on a book. Brenda J. Elliot is an impeccable researcher. Aaron Klein is also on par with his writing. I am sure that this is going to become a MUST read book before we go into the next election cycle. Congrats to both Aaron and Brenda!
New from WND Books: ‘The Manchurian President: Barack Obama’s Ties to Communists, Socialists and Other Anti-American Extremists’
Klein began investigating Obama during the 2008 presidential campaign, first exposing the politician’s association with Weatherman founder Bill Ayers. That story prompted the Nation Magazine, writing at the CBS News website, to lament that “mainstream reporters now call the Obama campaign to ask about Klein’s articles.”
Klein was among the first reporters to expose President Obama’s “green jobs” czar, Van Jones, founded a communist organization and called for “resistance” against the U.S. government. His articles were picked up and expanded upon by Fox News Channel, leading to Jones’ resignation this past September.
Aaron Klein is senior reporter and Jerusalem bureau chief for Internet news giant WorldNetDaily.com, host of “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio” on 77-WABC, and he is the author of several acclaimed nonfiction books. He boasts a rolodex that includes world leaders, newsmakers and some of the world’s most deadly terrorists.
Brenda J. Elliott
Elliott is an historian, author and investigative researcher who has earned the admiration and endured the scorn of media colleagues for dogged blogging during the 2008 presidential election about Tony Rezko, William Ayers and other criminals in Obama’s clique of cronies.
Since 1988 Elliott has been responsible for a number of historical projects, has won an award by Project Censored for her work, and has been named “One of the Intriguing People” in 1990 by Central Florida Magazine.

Cross post from RBO. I ordered my book already. New revelations, I’m sure.
Iran has warned suntanned women and girls who looked like “walking mannequins” will be arrested as part of a new drive to enforce the Islamic dress code.
Women with suntans are violating Islamic law and will be arrested in Iran, the capital city’s police chief was reported by The London Daily Telegraph as saying Wednesday.
“The public expects us to act firmly and swiftly if we see any social misbehavior by women, and men, who defy our Islamic values,” Brigadier Hossien Sajedinia said.

Tsk tsk, what would Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi say? How can one tell? Personally, I don’t know how to define “walking mannequins” vs walking with natural skin tone.
What constitutes “proper” ambulation to this man idiot? Perhaps this Iranian police chief believes this is proper walking? I suspect that he might be related to the Ambassador cretin who dumped his bride at the alter because she was too hairy.
Iran, Iran, Iran…what is left to say except that you are one messed screwed up country when it comes to how you treat women.
