bethje and I watched the
Bullshit! episode about the Americans with Disabilities Act last night. I don't really think they made their case all that well this time. Penn was in full-on Libertarian, "the government should only pay for defense and police, and do that with their magic money tree, because I don't want to pay taxes" mode, criticizing government-run buses and other amenities for disabled people. He also made the point of how businesses shouldn't be forced to have handicapped spaces and ramps, because enough of them would do it anyway. I don't know; I sort of bought this line of reasoning when they were arguing against smoking bans, but not so much this time. One thing that I did find particularly interesting about this one, though, is that the woman who hassles people for parking in handicapped spaces lives in this area. She was responsible for Donovan McNabb and Jeremiah Trotter's cars being ticketed outside the liquor store near Rowan University (which was honestly pretty amusing, even though I don't think McNabb was even driving the car at the time). While it really isn't a good idea for the non-handicapped to park in handicapped spaces, didn't this woman ever go to first grade? Because I remember being taught that it's not cool to be a tattle-tale. She apparently never learned this.
Today is the fifth birthday of Beth's dog
Dewey. We're planning on taking him to the new PetSmart today, and since there's a Chick-fil-A near there, eating there afterwards. It's been too long since I've had Chick-fil-A, and I keep craving it. I used to have it pretty much every time I went to the mall, but I hardly ever go there anymore. (Oddly enough, now that I live in New Jersey, there are no malls as close as there were at my Pennsylvania home. On the other hand, there are more malls in the general area.)
We're going to two concerts this weekend, which is cool, but also kind of a hassle. It means less time for messing around on the computer, and no day this week when I can sleep late. Well, I guess I could if I rearranged my schedule and slept right after the Friday night concert on something, but I don't know that I will. I've heard some people on my shift say that they operate on a totally different schedule on weekends than on weeknights, but I've never felt the need to do that. I guess I'll have to get up during the day sometime soon, though, since I do need a haircut.
