Police in New Mexico made a second arrest yesterday, rounding up a second academic who is a past president of the University of Mexico.

F. Chris Garcia, 71, aka ‘Burquepops’, who served as president of the University of New Mexico from 2002 to 2003, was charged with promoting prostitution, conspiracy and tampering with evidence. Garcia’s link has already been removed from the university’s website. He has also served as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Vice-President for Academic Affairs, and Provost.

Garcia remained a professor of political science at the university, where Albuquerque police used search warrants at his office and home, arresting him for his work with Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey physics professor David Flory.

Flory was arrested on Sunday in New Mexico, where he has a vacation home. Flory’s primary residence is in Manhattan. Reuters reports that Flory was surfing the ‘Southwest Companions’ website from the patio of a Starbucks when arrested. Flory was released on Monday, after posting $100,000 bond.

The professors are part of an online sex site called ‘Southwest Companions’, which recruited new prostitutes.

Reuters writes that Garcia used the online name ‘Burquepops’ in his role as a ‘moderator’ on the Southwest Companions website. Reuters writes:

Garcia, who remains in custody, was identified as part of a group described as the “hunt club”, which Schultz said was “a group of male clients that would help procure additional clients from outside of the state and from other websites and bring them into the Southwest Companions group.”

The investigation continues with more expected boys club arrests.

Rep. Maloney, Sen. Mendez Reintroduce Equal Rights Amendment

In what’s an annual rite of Congress, The Equal Rights Amendment was again introduced into the House of Representatives, where it will probably die in committee. Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), and Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) reintroduced the bill, which may have more relevance in people’s lives given the recent Supreme Court ruling against women suing Walmart, the Republican War on Women, and Supreme Court Justice Scalia’s statements from last January that gender discrimination is allowed under the Constitution.

Speaking for Phyllis Schlafly’s Eagle Forum, Colleen Holmes said:

“We would just say still that women were made equal to men by God our creator. The bill does absolutely nothing to make men and women equal.”

Holmes said the Equal Rights Amendment would lead to the inclusion of women in future military drafts, prevent separate men’s and women’s restrooms, allow state-funded abortion and erode protections widows and married women enjoy.

The pilot, whose name the airlines did not choose to disclose, apparently went through diversity training after describing the crews as a “continuous stream of gays and grannies and grandes” and “eleven f***ing over-the-top, f***ing a**-f***ing homosexuals.”
