I see MAGA tour groups all the time here in DC. Entire school trips wearing that hat. Ugh.

I’d rather see Gritty standing by the Washington Monument when I jog by instead of large groups of slack-jawed MAGA kids. Oops, judgmental again...

The tweet I posted above -- of the person being reprimanded about their car -- is a perfect example. Someone assumes something about a person's virtue based on the car they drive. And it's their employer! That's insane.
There isn't much about virtue in the letter ("it's bad to be poor"), and plenty about worrying about a broke employee doing illegal things to get back in the black ("theft, fraud" "financial distress" "difficult time financially" "your salary is known to us"), whether or not that is justified.

I always remember that line from the Bible:

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who drives a crappy car to enter the kingdom of God, for he or she may do illegal things to get back in the black. Whether or not it is justified to exclude people based on what they drive, who can say? Let us not judge people based on their exclusionary behavior, advised Jesus."

You're as funny as I thought that you were.

I've never thought of you before.

Take that as you will.

Burma shave.

"One verse, lifted apparently from a joke that country singer Randy Travis told at a concert, goes: 'Boy wants a car from his dad/ Dad says, 'First you gotta cut that hair'/ Boy says, 'Hey Dad, Jesus had long hair'/ and Dad says, 'That's right, son: Jesus walked everywhere.'"

Dude please write a new controversial thing this is getting to be a major bummer in my life and I CAN'T STOP CHECKING IN HERE FOR SOME REASON.
