Whatever happened to the good old days when a heated traffic dispute just led to a shooting?

Sort of OT. My AC konked out this week during 100+ degree weather. The AC repair guy made me think “how ironic that you know everything about air conditioning systems and yet you are hot as f*** all the time.”

He probably believes he isn’t a racist. His actions belie that belief.

As a nation we need to confront the sort of racial prejudice that is a lot white Americans have festering just below the surface.

My own pet peeve is local Action News. In a lot of communities local broadcasters long ago realized that they could pump ratings by covering every crime that happens in the local black neighborhood while downplaying crime in the white community.

This guy got caught and seems to have apologized, but the problem is much deeper than just the occasional middle class white guy who goes off.

Ambien doesn’t make you racist. Being tired doesn’t make you racist. Being annoyed or agitated doesn’t make you racist. Being a racist makes you racist.

They really don’t seem to get that. It’s like they think liberals are also seething about that n***** who’s holding up traffic, but we’re just better at keeping a lid on it.

Let’s make the definition of racism part of driver’s license requirements. Let’s see: Must wear glasses… check. Must not scream racial epithets… check.

“Whitman told Fox 28 that he is not a racist and regrets the encounter.”

More likely, he regrets being caught on film saying the N-word.

I would be surprised if the person’s voice, the one holding camera, if their name is actually “Charles”.

Yep. Worst job I ever had. Every time you arrive, it is boiling hot, and just when you get the temperature to start improving it is time to move on to the next appt.

Uriah’s HVAC should change over to Uriah’s Plumbing, because their YELP ratings are going into the crapper.

Oh, and “Angie’s List” is waiting on Line 1.

This is going to reflect poorly on your end-of-year review. But you’ll have more time to go to Trump campaign rallies.
