Daytime tv CAN make you think........who knew.

Today is Martin Luther King Day. Which means?

NO SCHOOL/WORK
yay!

So I get up, walk the dogs and plop on the couch for some daytime telly.
Do you have ANY idea what gems we miss due to our jobs?!?!?

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta"
Think-the women from "Flavor of Love" with money.

These women have No class, No education, No taste, No common sense, No grasp of the English Language.
What they DO have is men who give them anything they want.

These horrid women actually consider themselves "high society".
One woman today didn't know what guacamole was.
and when it was prepared fresh for her, table side, in the traditional stone bowl, she freaked that they were touching her food with "rocks".
She drives a $100K car paid for by her "man"
She also wears the world's worst wigs, smokes a pack a day and is out of shape.

What in the name of ghetto fabulous?!?!?!

of course, then I began to think--this is NOT confined to Atlanta.
I personally know several uneducated, classless women who not only treat the men in their lives like dirt, but are horrible mothers or addicts or down right mean who ALSO enjoy the benefits of wealthy man's attention.

For the MOST PART, these men are intelligent, cultured men who enjoy the finer things in life.
"Finer" apparently does not include females.
What is up with that?

These men would not settle for a Rolecks or a drive a Dodge or vacation at a Motel 6.
How are 3rd rate women on the radar?

I was in the dating scene for many years and I recall ALL the men listing intelligence and class in an attribute they seek in a woman, so wtf?
Peruse the Match.com profiles, the Millionaire Match profiles or ANY other profile on ANY dating site and tel me if you see even ONE listing like the following:

"Seeking uneducated, culture less headcase. I prefer a woman with hair extensions, poor language skills and no ability to support herself. Drug addicts a plus and bad mothering skills will show me that you should always come first. Please drink too much and embarrass me again and again in front of my friends and business relations so I will know that you care."

um, yeah. I musta skimmed right over those adds, for SURELY they exist, no?

But aaaaaaaaaaah, my friends and I tell ourselves, "Thank the Heavens WE have great men!"
We say, "WE don't need money when we have fabulous men!"

but a tiny voice in my head whispers...
Sure, he loves you...
...but IF he had the money, would he be with one of the Bobbleheaded bimbos?

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
probably not, right?

right?

Red White and Jet Blue.

I read today that a man sporting a t-shirt that read "We Will Not Be Silenced" in arabic script, won a lawsuit against Jet Blue Airlines in the amount of $240,000.00 because the airline forced him cover his t-shirt before being allowed on board.

It is racial profiling! The attorney's cried.
It is dicrimination! The Muslims cried.
It is harrassment! The liberals cried.

What about the rights of the business owner?
What of the rights of the OTHER 200 passengers?

Remember in Ye Olde Malt Shoppe where the sign read
"No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service"?

or
"We Reserve the Right to Refuse Service to Anyone"

Why if it is MY business can I NOT refuse to "work" for someone for whatever reason I choose?

As a lawyer, you can refuse to take a case if you don't like it.
As a nail tech, you can refuse to do a pedicure because you don't like the toes.
As a restaurant, you can refuse to serve a guy who smells like goat feet.
As a contractor, you can refuse to take on a construction job that is too much of a pain in the ass.

So WHY when you are putting several hundred people on your care, are you not allowed to put conditions on flying in YOUR PLANE?

YOUR PLANE, bottom line.
If it was MY airline, I should be able to say I don't want CHILDREN on my plane...or people who SNORE, or guys with TOO MUCH AFTERSHAVE.

As a business owner, I am here to please not only the masses, but MYSELF> otherwise, I would go work for someone ELSE.

If you don't like my rules...here is your refund for your ticket, enjoy your flight ON ANOTHER AIRLINE.
You do NOT have to choose JET BLUE.
talk bad about them, picket, scream and shout.
But at the end of the day, there are just as many people who would rather fly WITHOUT you and your redderick, than are feeling "your" pain.

So please Mr. Raed Jarrar, keep your t-shirts off any future flights I may be on...scratch that, I think I will just DRIVE.
