Just when i thought the progressive state of MN spoke on Super Tuesday, I get a phone call and an email that throws me off balance.
Background: I uploaded a bilingual job posting for a couple openings in my company.
The Call: An unidentified caller confirms that it's me he's talking to and says, "We have enough illegals in this country!!!" He hangs up on me mid-sentence.
The Email: "THIS IS AMERICA ENGLISH IS THE COUNTRIES LANGUAGE USE IT. IF YOU DON'T LIKE ENGLISH MOVE OUT"
My Response: "Thank you for your feedback.
The last time we checked the United States of America does not have a declared official language. Approximately 82% of the American population claim English as its first language. The remaining 18% speak a diverse collection of other languages.
We are an equal opportunity employer who welcome people of all languages and cultures, including the 18% not represented in the majority.
FYI - the possessive form of country is country's, not countries."
Regards,
-Tony

We shoot club events with the same old routine. Get in,
gear up, and start shooting people. Every promoter
wants the same bag of tricks: get pictures of hot girls
having a good time. Tonight was no exception. Point,
Shotgun, and Sniper confirmed the rendezvous coordinates,
3 clicks northwest of Downtown. We arrive on time, the
head bouncer gives us the casual head nod, shouts in
the direction of the door, "these guys are cool let
them thru," the bouncer goons part the Red Sea, and
without missing a beat multiple shots were fired.
Tonight was a little different from our typical
experience, the hostages were more responsive.
Previously, people were very aware of our presence and
would either surrender towards our general direction in
hopes of getting the attention of one of the hitmen or
run from the gun. Tonight's crowd wasn't the usual; a
different mix of people, mostly new faces. It was a
good night, 100% casualty count.
