Poor Erik Prince

According to an AP story, North Carolina's own Prince Machiavelli is feeling a little down these days. The guy has a company that pulled down almost a billion in taxpayer funding, but he personally can't get no respect? Not so puzzling. Why on earth wouldn't any politician want more distance from the Blackwater/Xe mercenaries? They're the contractor equivalent of swine flu.
So it appears that Mr. Prince is going to take his vast fortune and quit being a soldier of fortune. Heaven help us.
Prince announced earlier this year that he would relinquish involvement in the company's day-to-day business as part of a management shake-up, and company spokeswoman Stacy DeLuke said Wednesday that Prince also plans to give up some of his ownership rights. He is considering becoming a high school teacher.
YANK!
Oh my gosh.... If I had a child going to a school that guy started teaching at, I'd yank him/her out of there faster than you could figure out how to pronounce "XE", and work on replacing the hiring Principal/School Board.
