After a lifetime in Caribbean and international politics, I thought the time had long since passed when I could be outraged by any event. But I was outraged last week and I continue to seethe over the fact that Pamela Ramsey Taylor , the director of a Clay County, West Virginia, non-profit who was removed from her post after she called Michelle Obama an " ape in heels " in a November Facebook post, will be re-instated in her job on December 23.
