Wednesday Rants

I had a normal day at work but encountered a few things that got my blood flowing in the 3 hours since.

• I drove home on the freeway in Rush Hour (which I usually don't) and a guy in the next lane was texting while driving in traffice. Also, I let in 6 different cars into my lane because they were in the wrong lane, and not one raised their hand to thank me.
  
• I went out to eat dinner with my parents, just because, and was easy dropping on an interesting converstation between two women at the next table. First they talked for 15 minutes about how they had driven past each other in their gated community culdesac in surban America, and they thought it was hilarious. They must lively increadibly boring lives as soccer moms if they conversation lasted 15 minutes. Then one of them made this comment when talking about finding a job, "I want to find something where I can volunteer, but get paid for it." What? Someone needs a dictionary.
• In case you thought people couldn't get any stupidie, I read a number of articles( 1, 2, 3, 4 5) tonight about a new theoru called the "Huxtable Effect." Basically it says that without the Cosby show people would not have voted for Obama. The Cosby show showed white America that a black family is not a scary thought, they are just like "us." I've watched The Simpsons for years, that doesn't mean I would vote for a 300 pound idiot with yellow skin and 4 fingers.
• Here's an example of what America's youth is pawning off as work nowadays in school.
