I found myself listening to Rush Limbaugh* on my way to lunch today and I
actually agreed with him on something. God help me. Basically, Rush was
reporting on a story
in which Dell told a bunch of Muslim employees that they couldn't take
time off from work to pray. Of course the employees are up in arms and so
is some civil liberties group. Excuse me, but you are at work to work, not to
pray. Pray at home, at church, at temple, or wherever else appropriate.
The place I agreed with Rush is that (God help us) if this was a
Judeo-Christian group that was complaining there would be no civil
liberties group up in arms. (Of course the religious wacko nutjubs would
be, but not other freak shows like the ACLU.) I don't care who you are or
what you pray to. It's not for work. Shut up and get on with it. Get a
different job or start your own company and work with like minded people.
And go out of business because you'll never get anything done.
Anyway, the only reason I had the time to hear this was because more than 3 snowflakes fell in Cleveland last night, so the maximum speed one can travel is 2 miles per hour. One would think that living in a town in a snowy climate, one would learn how to drive properly in such conditions. Nope, the entire population has to piss me off by driving ridiculously and needlessly slow. What should have been a 5 minute round trip took 15 minutes each way. Maybe I should drink less coffee, but I am the most impatient person in the entire world when driving behind an idiot. And Cleveland has no small lack of idiots.
* Not on purpose; my radio was still tuned to 1100 from my morning drive in.
By the way, I hate Al Franken too.
