Damn, DC, that sounds nasty...I like it! You're making me want to hurry and close the club so I can go home to my wife. Thanks.

AnnMarie- We'll have the nomination on the big screen at Pearl. Come on down. :-)

AnnMarie- "Act like a moron over one incident and people can't help but wonder the next thing you're going to be stupid about." -I know just what you mean. I'll be glad to see G.W. leave too. :-)

I agree with your assessment of the state of society. I've been trying to make those around me aware of the shallow hypocrisy and foolishness of this life for years. I'm tired.

However, in slight defense of your and my fellow idiots who live here in this theme park country, nature itself does select the finest results to continue.
In the still-ancient part of our psyches we will always gravitate toward the best, strongest, and most attractive choices. Not just because we're bereft of morals, but because in our reptilian minds it says "this is good". Now if we could just make the I.Q. equivalent to the beauty, we'd be...we'd be...the master race. Whoops!

Okay, yeah, it's certainly less than moral.
But c'mon, this is America. I wouldn't get hired either.

No one accuses ad agencies of 'aesthetic discrimination' when they hire only beautiful men and women to push products for their clients.
If you have a product or business and want to market it to the public, selecting a less than attractive face to do it, will make your marketing just that- less than attractive to your target customers.

Is A&F the only place that the less than attractive can apply for work?

Darryl Lee Rush alone is more than worth showing up for this event. Pictured above talking with his imaginary friend, he's a tremendous songwriter and he and his band put on a helluva show! "Burn it down" Darryl!

Apparently, arresting a person for criminal activity is racist.
Entering the country illegally, using a fake ss#, fake ID, and being bold enough to enter a showroom and try to buy a vehicle is no reason to pick on this poor guy. He was caught up in a scam- it's so sad!
Sounds to me like he has all the gumption it takes to be a successful American.

We should be offering this guy a new home loan, giving him free medical care- including eye care and a comprehensive dental plan, paying for his family to school here, naming a major street after him, and offering him a seat on the Dallas City Council. This isn't a criminal, he's an entrepreneur.

Cops should just ignore any minorities they spot doing anything illegal- they'll just start trouble if they arrest them. We should be concentrating our efforts and tax dollars on getting those pesky white criminals off our streets.
After all this is America.

So, help me here.
I've been discussing this topic with friends- friends younger than myself. They tell me that public high school is more difficult now than in my day. (I graduated in '74) And how would they know? Yes, I graduated ages ago I know, but I came away able to read, write, and count my money.
Is it really so much harder today to learn the basics? Am I that far out of touch?

I actually spoke to the mother of a high school student who said that the standards her child had to meet were too high.

Enlighten me.

Gee, thanks Jason. You're doing great things for my self-image. Not to mention now I'll wonder what people are really thinking when they meet me.

What is this obsession with me being catheterized?
And I have a smoke-easy downtown, until the city yanks it from me. Ouch, did I say that? Damn, now you've got me doing it.
