The Bullshit Stalker

Blue Laws Are Bullshit!

By admin on Aug. 17, 2008.

Blue Laws are laws that prevent stores from selling beer, wine or liquor on Sundays.  These antiquated laws have been on the books in many jurisdictions for decades.  And the citizens in these counties and towns, primarily in the Southeast, just go about life dealing with this.

Well, it is total bullshit!  All it does is make people plan around it.  You shop for your alcohol needs the day before.  Why?

These laws were written back when we as a country let religion override basic rights.  If you think we’ve evolved from that age, you are mistaken.  We still have these legacy items hanging over us and that is bullshit!

Bullshit Parents Of The Year!

Philadelphia may be the city of brotherly love, but that doesn’t extend to everyone.  Daniel and Andrea Kelly have been charged in the starvation death of their handicapped daughter, Danieal Kelly.  Now that should be enough to get anyone a Bullshit Award.  But no, these two are overachievers!  They are suing the city for contributing to the death of their child.

If you live in Philidelphia and you run into their lawyer, Brian Mildenberg.  Would you kick him for me?

Cockfight Bullshit In Louisiana

By admin on Aug. 15, 2008.

Today, Louisiana became the last State in the United States to put a ban on cockfight gambling.  I know a lot of you, like I was, are saying, “What, it was still legal to have a cockfight yesterday?”  Yes, it was.  For about a year now, it was illegal to bet on a cockfight (Senate Bill 221).  So you could have a cockfight provided there was no wagering.  Now with HB 108 there is a full ban on the cockfights.

Sometimes even the Bullshit Stalker is floored by the bullshit.  This is one of those times.

Using Your Religion For Profit Is Bullshit!

Now I’ll be one of the first to sign the petition to remove McDonald’s from our town. I don’t like how they portion their meals and lead us to believe it is real food. But this post isn’t about that.

Two Dearborn, Michigan women are suing McDonald’s for religious discrimination. On first blush it would seem they have a valid case. Apparently, the manager at this franchise told them that they couldn’t wear their hajib if they were to be hired. This rubbed the women the wrong way, and as is becoming the American way, they’ve filed a lawsuit.

Let’s back up a bit. They weren’t turned down for employment. While it was a bit insensitive of the manager to make these statements, he didn’t tell them he wouldn’t hire them.

McDonalds, like most fast food restaurants, has a uniform. Also, health codes would have to be considered. So, it isn’t unreasonable to think that an employee would dress as required. Thus we do have a conflict of requirements.

Where I call bullshit is that these women didn’t approach the management from a reasonable standpoint. They jumped into a lawsuit. Why? If they really wanted to work, wouldn’t they make a single call to the franchise management?

I think the picture tells the story. This is about extracting as many of those “muslim dollars” as they can without bothering to show up for work. Sorry ladies, but that is bullshit. Find another fast food restaurant to work at.
