The State Fair, The Hijab & "I Thought The Safety Was On"
I want to thank everyone who showed up at our Friday afternoon remote last week at Wireless Zone in Stafford. We had a good time and a lot of laughs.
He's a terribly nice guy and remember, you can see him in action tomorrow night at the opening night of the State Fair of Virginia, where he'll be onstage with Jason Michael Carroll.I got home today just time to watch and listen to Moammar Kadafi addressing the U.N. What a long and rambling speech. It lasted almost 90 minutes and for the most part, made hardly any sense. He did carry on about how much he loves President OH-bama. He referred to OH-bama as his son and said he wishes OH-bama could be President of the United States "forever". I'm sitting there watching this lunatic give this speech and thought to myself, "If there's one guy you DON'T want to get a recommendation from, it's Moammar!!" The White House can't be happy about it.
........and here's my personal favorite.............
I LOVE when he wears the Michael Jackson get-up.
Speaking of clothes, here's a case you're going to want to keep an eye on. A Muslim teenager claims she was denied a job at an Abercrombie & Fitch clothing store at a Tulsa, Oklahoma mall because she wore a head scarf. In the lawsuit filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Tulsa, 17 year-old Samantha Elauf applied for a sales position at the Abercrombie store back in June, but was told that her wearing the head scarf, known as a hijab violates the store's "Look Policy".
The suit seeks back pay for Ms. Elauf, plus monetary and non-monetary losses resulting from "emotional pain and suffering, anxiety, (here's my favorite) loss of enjoyment of life, humiliation and (get ready for this one) inconvenience".
We'll see what happen with this, but apparently for now, if you want to work for Abercrombie & Fitch, you can't wear a hijab. I guess it would probably be alright if it were an Abercrombie & Fitch hijab.
Hey, you know where you can get some great hijabs? In the food court over in the Spotsylvania Towne Center. Delicious!!
Finally, given the name of the victim and the stupidity of the following incident, you're going to think I'm making the story up. I assure you, I am not. Jefferson County, Missouri Sheriff Oliver Boyer reports that 40 year-old James Looney, accidentally shot himself to death while teaching his girlfriend a lesson in firearm safety. According to witnesses, Looney's teaching method involved him placing the gun to his head and asking his girlfriend if the gun would go off. Apparently, he was teaching her about various safety mechanisms. He did this twice with no problem, but on the third time, the gun fired into his head. He was transported to a local hospital, but died the following day. Witnesses also say Looney was going to take his girlfriend to the shooting range the next day, but insisted on giving her lessons on firearm safety first.
I guess we should assume here that he wanted to show his girlfriend what NOT to do.
I think all of us learned a valuable lesson here: Guns and girlfriends don't mix.
