Easter Monday

 When I returned to North Carolina in 1983, Easter Monday was still a holiday. Good Friday was just another day. Over the years, the holiday has changed to Good Friday but some cities and businesses still observe Easter Monday. In the restaurant business, we celebrate neither. 

I read a newsletter from American Spectator on weekdays and they sent it today, despite Easter Monday. It contained the one-liner of the day from writer Daniel Flynn.                                                                  Rolled Away Stone      To the surprise of many, George Floyd did not rise yesterday.

Tampa Bay Bucs player Carlton Davis posted on Twitter "Gotta stop letting gooks in Miami". He claims that he did not know that it was a racial slur against Asians. Put me down as a non-believer on his explanation. I have heard lots of blacks speak in a derogatory fashion about Asians. Yet blacks keep calling the rest of us racists. 

The USA Today also capitalizes "Black", but not "white". It's that subtle racism that liberals always rant about to conservatives.

Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina has called out Major League Baseball on their stand regarding Voter ID. It seems that MLB requires a photo ID for fans to pick up tickets at "Will Call" windows across the leagues. Let's see, ID required to buy game ticket is good. ID to vote is bad. Does this make sense to anyone with more than a room temperature IQ?

Larry Thornberry points out that in all 30 of their ballparks, MLB requires a photo ID from everyone to purchase beer. Larry is on the plus side of seventy and thought the concession guy was joking about the ID. He wasn't.  Yet MLB attacks Georgia for asking for an ID before you can vote for President?

A friend received an Easter Sunday e-mail from their church with the title "Chris Arose". This is what happens when we depend on Spell Check and don't prufread.
