[AGL] life is so much fun dept.

[Michael Eisenstadt]

I thought you all might enjoy this anecdote from yesterday.

I had just bought 2 real leather belts made in China from a Target store 
located where the MacDonalds used to be on the corner of Guadeloupe and 
21st in the giant dormitory mall on that corner near the Univ. of Texas 
campus and was taking the elevator to the 2nd story Food Court to award 
myself a slice of pizza when I ran into a female student who was 
excitedly telling a young black employee of the building that Beto 
O'Rourke had announced for president. Feeling my oats as I entered the 
elevator with her and the employee I observed that O'Rourke was about 
the last man in the world I would vote for for president. So she asked 
why. I further observed that O'Rourke was for Open Borders (for her 
obviously not an issue - she seemed to be somewhat Hispanic). She 
retorted but he is for defending minority rights.

Should the situation reprise which it won't I ask myself whether my 
/esprit d'escalier /rejoinder should have beene "Who is attacking 
minority rights these days? What with affirmative action, preferences, 
set-asides, etc. being the law of the land for 60 years? What more 
gimmes do you want?

Reparations? Let's ask O'Rourke if he is for dollar reparations. Sen. 
Elizabeth Warren was asked that question and in her wisdom replied "We 
have to have that conversation?" /Au fond/ she really is as creepy as 
Hillary. She used to be a brunette and identified herself to the Univ of 
Texas Law School way back where she had been hired as a professor as a 
feather Indian signed in blue ink. Now she is a blond after going grey 
which compliments her blue eyes. Now she looks like a Becky, not a 
bad-white Becky, but a Becky who cares.
