The car radio was tuned to Beck, but it wasn't Beck...somebody subbing.

And I think I actually heard a caller say that a reason we don't want Hispanics around is that they do physical labor and are sweaty and dirty and you don't want to be behind someone behind like that at the bank...:wtf:

Who do you think actually BUILT the physical roof over your head!!!!

AND even if you get rid of all the "illegals." Someone will still have to do physical labor and be sweaty and dirty when they get off work and may be in front of you in a line.

And btw, some of the worst BO I've ever come across has come from so-called white collar folk.

A days sweat and toil is an honest smell.

However those suits can radiate rank between those visits to the cleaners.

1. Nothing in the world smells worse
than a day's worth of tobacco smoke drowned in expensive cologne, especially if there's a layer of alcohol stink on top.

Give me a sweaty guy who's been doing something really constructive with his life any day. He smells better in all different meanings of the word.

2. I really was blown away by the comment.

I switched stations immediately. Didn't wait to see if anyone called the guy on such a rediculous statement.

You know firefghters get pretty dirty and sweaty too. Should we scorn them?

What an idiot.

3. 100 years ago they said the same things about
immigrant Italians, Poles, and Irish--how dirty and stupid they were. Now the great-grandchildren of those very immigrants are saying the same things about Hispanics. :sigh:
