TALK ABOUT A DISABILITY!!

I think that was an attempt at English, but it is hard to tell....

At least commercial truck drivers are being ticketed by police for not speaking English well enough to talk with police!

Feds look to tighten English law for truckers

You're probably one of those idiots who are now happy that black women have cooking shows on Food Network. Please, I am not interested in fried chicken with hot sauce, greens, biscuts covered with gravy or other Soul Food. I called the cable company and told them to drop the Food Network. And you wonder why Mississippi is the fattest state.

Minorities = Poor Diet = Poor Health

You and I foot the bill.

My thoughts exactly!!!!!!!! Wow, people seem to be getting nuttier all the time.....

"Smith said that for the past few years, he's been using skates with the support of a wheelchair to get around because it's less painful than walking. But Mercado Latino owner Hugo Martinez said Smith was a longtime visitor to the store whom he had never seen wearing skates before that day. He said Smith has a history of filing lawsuits against companies around town and he suspects the latest one is another attempt to get quick cash.

"That was a very sudden thing that he suddenly required Rollerblades," Martinez said. "I don't know what his real goals are, but from what I can see, it just looks like somebody who's looking for money."

Smith appears to have a recent history of litigation: In addition to an earlier suit against Mercado Latino, he also filed against Hollywood Suits and Nu Skin Enterprises in August 2007 for similar disability-related claims. All three cases were dismissed. Smith said the first Mercado Latino suit was dropped at his request, and he has since reached a settlement with Hollywood Suits. He declined to elaborate."

I think we have our answer.

I don't believe that the Americans With Disabilities Act accommodates the use of roller blades in grocery stores.

It requires the establishment to provide access via ramps, and wide enough doorways and aisles for wheelchairs to get around. It also requires disabled parking convenient to the establishment.

The operative words in this story is that Smith "prefers roller-blades over walking"

Isn't that just special - particularly when you see a person who has no choice because they can't walk.
