Bah your white male privilege made your success super easy.  You can feel proud when you are a black female paraplegic transsexual lesbian and make it big.

I check my privilege regularly.

I just want to know it is still there where I need it.  :)

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You know that Jews cannot accept money on Saturdays?  I can use the Jewish community center for free on that day.  Thanks Moses!

It's not a card - it's a secret handshake.

But I've said too much already.  :ph34r:

And left-handed.

Bet there's even a porn sub-category for that.

Well, now she's lost her job, too.

QuoteMom Arrested for Letting Her Kid Play at the Park Loses Her Job

Debra Harrell, the South Carolina mother who was jailed for letting her 9-year-old daughter play, unsupervised, at a crowded park, is now out of a job. Harrell's lawyer, Robert Phillips, told Think Progress that his client was fired from her position at McDonald's, even though she was released on bond the day after she was arrested. A spokesperson for the fast-food chain declined to explain exactly why Harrell was let go.

In a situation already packed with absurd overreactions to Harrell's perfectly reasonable — if not ideal — decision, this development seems particularly unfair, since she only left her kid alone (with a cell phone) because there was no one to care for her while she went to work. Meanwhile, Harrell and her daughter have been reunited, but the Department of Social Services is still required to investigate the case. An online fund-raiser started by some nice strangers has already raised over $26,000 for Harrell. Hopefully, the funds will be enough to tide her over until she can find a new employer.

Fired from McDonalds is not something one wants on one's resume.  :(

Resume?  Why would she bother with one of those?  With that type of job you just walk in off the street and fill out a job application.  That's what I did for my first job at Caldor (bring home the difference!)

I don't know about that, but I definitely wouldn't be in a hurry to get a new McJob with over a year's wages in the bank.

Letting her kid wander about that park is looking smarter and smarter.

I don't think anyone's suggesting she planned to get an internet windfall.
