Then the job writing for the Colorado Daily ended, and it seemed for awhile as though her special brand of race-baiting and academic witch-hunts would relegated to the occasional Rocky Mountain News Speakout rant or bulk-mail from the Double-Eye.

There’s Jessica (upper right corner) at the CU College Republicans’ infamous “affirmative action bake sale” in the spring of 2004. What a treasure.

“The purpose was to show the true atrocities of affirmative action,” said Jessica Corry of the Campus Accountability Project.

Naturally with her keen insight and sensitivity she was the perfect choice to seat on the CU Blue Ribbon Commission on Diversity (please note sarcasm). You know, after the hard-core racists fell through. And she didn’t disappoint her handlers.

Timeout?

CU alumna Jessica Peck Corry of the Independence Institute, a conservative think tank in Golden, wrote a letter to Brown on Thursday asking for the delay so the university can provide more detailed data about how CU-Boulder spends $21 million annually on diversity programs.

In Corry’s letter to Brown, she writes, “I hope you will join me personally in denouncing any suggestion that ‘fostering’ an environment that celebrates diversity is ‘the highest priority of the university.’”

Former Denver mayor Wellington Webb, more politely than I would be:

He agrees the group could use more time to review spending, but said any such review should be to find more money for diversity programs - not to question their efficacy or try to cut them.

“Diversity programs did not cause these (racial) problems,” Webb said. “That’s like blaming the victim.”

Fortunately, there’s a quick end to her predictable little outburst, with the headline “CU says diversity commission’s work will go as planned.” Much like ABOR, successful College Republican chapters, or getting one of my favorite professors fired, it’s an extremist swing and a miss. She’ll be back though. Being well-funded gets inept treachery a long way. Just ask her boss Jon Caldara. And, of course, watch out if she has cookies.

She’s a witch! Really.

She could die her hair, divorce her gun-toting hubby (or has that already happened?), and mate with Ann Coulter and we’d have …

Twin Witchies!

That is true! Not only is her husband a gun lover but he is apparently now accused of sexual assault. But, I have heard that they have moved out of that district and now they’re working for her father Kenneth Pecck.

I’ve seen Rob Corry and His wife Jessica Peck Corry use marijuana and cocaine in their own home. I’m not judging them, but Rob Corry did rape his wife’s best friend, and Jessica Peck Corry did lie to the court. Plus, Jessica Peck Corry has political ambitions, which makes her dangerous. I don’t think cocaine users and wives of known rapists should be leading anything other than Marijuana rallies.
