What if I had my feelings hurt everytime someone made a "short person" joke. I could be rich by now. Thank goodness I'm tougher than the general populace. The sad part is a government entity catering to hyper-sensitivity.
'TOO INDIAN' TO WORK
An Indian-born British man worked for the Talk Talk Direct telecommunications company. He accepted a transfer to New Delhi to work in the company's call center when he was fired because his accent "wasn't English enough."
Actually, I have no problem with this. As long as it is a private business, they can set whatever standards it wants for it employees. Unfortunately the English government does not agree, awarding the man $10,000 compensation for "hurt feelings" and expenses. He claims he suffered both direct and indirect discrimination.
Maybe he'll become an air traffic controller.
ANOTHER SMALL VICTORY
The city of Denver has decided to pull its diversity training video. For details check yesterday's Nuze!
The Heritage Foundation tackles the "myth" of free healthcare. The trouble is that the people who will read this are generally the people who don't need to read this.
Now this is what I call "progress"!
Belgium's third largest city, Ghent, had now banned all of its employees from wearing Muslim headscarves or any other religious or political symbols. Let's see how long it takes for some Muslim to call for some Ghent official's death.
Sounds like some cities in this country with the manner in which they squander funds. Atlanta is a prime example.
The entire nation of Scotland gets the "dumb-ass of the day award." The government spent six months and $250,000 to develop its new, award-winning slogan: Welcome to Scotland.
Good for Kyle-Anne. I'm discovering I'm liking more and more women columnists. Restores my faith in the female gender.

This is a hoot! Good old Bill at his best!
So you liberals think you should pay more taxes?November 29, 2007Bill Clinton went on the record recently stating that he should pay more taxes, and is full of resentment that he doesn't. Help is at hand. More
Perhaps they're finally seeing the light down there.

Donald Lambro: The New Party of the Rich
Perhaps the biggest shift in American politics is the growing affluence of the Democrats' congressional constituencies and the influence they wield over party tax policy.
Cal Thomas: Changing Nation
No one ever accused Patrick J. Buchanan of lacking conviction or of consulting a focus group before saying what he thinks. He now confronts readers with many irrefutable facts that if left unaddressed, he believes, will lead to America's destruction.
Michael Reagan: Child Abuse Worsens as Families Change
Child abuse is growing out of control here in America, and there?s a good reason why: the traditional family is coming apart at the seams.
An interesting tidbit some won't acknowledge.
John McCaslin: Go Figure
