Las Vegas...locals balmy! Something in the water?





Kristen Stewart feels raped!
 
 

Over the past few days as I have dashed around Las Vegas to carry out chores - and meet social obligations - it has become obvious to me as I have crossed paths with a handful of the locals toiling away in menial tasks jobs at business establishments around the desert oasis that something is awry!

Judging by their strange behavior, I surmise that the recent heat wave that has descended on the city, has made these day workers balmy (slow on the uptake).

Just maybe, there is something in the water that rots their brains?

If so, bottled water appears to be a safe way to go right now.

Last night I trotted up to the Golden Gate to take advantage of their player's card special which - 'til now - offered up scrumptious shrimp cocktail (with cocktail sauce & crackers) at $1.00 a pop.

Uh-huh!

The diner recently ended that promotion - so I found myself chowing down on one serving for twice the price - that turned out be less tastier than the original one they used to flog at the busy counter.

As I scarfed down the snack, a five-foot-nothing security guard - who looked for all-the-world like he'd been boozing 'round the clock for the past forty years of his sorry life - strode up, stopped within two feet of my table, and proceeded to act in a bizarre manner.

In fact, his conduct was so stratling, that guests turned their heads quizzically this way 'n that, trying to fathom the dude's strange! behavior.

Obviously, he recognized moi, and was inclined to get an up-close gander.

Whenever I happened to glance in his direction - how could I not in view of the fact he was hovering over me rudely as I attempted to finish my snack - he turned his head nervously to avoid eye contact in a sly effort to avoid detection.

Fat chance!

He was a subtle as an elephant in heat!

How ironic!

The security guard the Hotel hired - ended up triggering feelings of insecurity and doubt in their guests - by virtue of lunatic conduct that was totally unacceptable.


At other retail outlets over the past week - counter-workers (more often-than-not) - literally froze on the spot when I strode up to the cash register.

If you ask me, their expressions tended to suggest, that they had just pooped their pants.

At Walmart, one teenager rang up the charges and handed me back my change, but neglected to present my groceries which were tucked down below beyond easy reach.

As he stood there awestruck, I awkwardly reached down, and plucked up the bag myself.

Unfortunately, when I arrived at my vehicle in the parking lot, my strawberries were nowhere in sight.

I dashed back into the store and quizzed the dazed box boy.

"What did you do with my stawberries?"

Without uttering a word, he reached under the counter, and coughed them up.

No apology!  No nothing!

Today, when I sauntered into Walgreen's to pick up the morning edition of the Los Angeles Times, a down-and-out security guard with gnarled features spied me as he was exiting the front door.

Imagine that, he immediately turned on his heel, and followed me inside - where he proceeded to gawk at me as I tried to withdraw cash with a modicum of privacy - or at least without his prying eyes raping my every movement.

Thanks for that Kristen Stewart!

A right on appraisal of the nonsensical conduct of unsophisticated clods with no class!

At least I don't have the paparazzi pushing me into cactus plants like some celebrities.

I expect that if the public fascination continues (shouldn't these boring folks get a life?) - and likewise intensifies to a degree that is overwhelming - that I will have to audition muscle-bound studs to assume the role of "bodyguard" when I venture out.

Well, I guess there are some perks to being famous.

Male escorts!

Barack Obama...Jacka** remark lowers Prez to level of common Joe!

Ooops!
I don't bray!

When I overheard the news flash in my travels about the city the other day, I laughed out loud.

Another controversy raged in  a week that (at a minimum) had been rife with bad behaviour from white and black trailer-trash alike.

Maybe the alignment of the planets was all screwed up.

Or, the soaring heat was making folks testy.

According to a tweet that zapped at lightning speed around the internet (and beyond into the frenzied mainstream media realms)  Barack Obama allegedly jumped into the Kanye West fray - and in an off-the-cuff moment - hissed to a few within earshot (off-camera) that the musician was (quite simply) a Jacka**.

How refreshing!

To a handful who once belly-ached that Obama was "uppity" - and occasionally was prone to act "Holier than thou" - it was a Godsend, really.

In sum, the Prez was no different than any common "Joe" prone to dish at whim when the occasion arose.

Personally, it was the word  Jacka** that titillated me.

In choosing that "label", Obama demonstrated a little imagination, in my estimation.

When you call a person an "a**hole", for instance, it simply conjures of a glaring demeaning image of all that is negative about sentient beings (and the inconsiderate and/or inappropriate selfish actions of an individual that often lead them astray from humanity).

For many, the label smarts.

Jacka**, on the other hand, is a much bigger rub.

Stings more, dudes!

After all, the "tag" gets to the very core of the personality - and in the final analysis - makes a broader, deeper, more insightful statement about the individual in a lasting humorous way.

The dictionary definition defines it best:

jackass

    noun
1. a male donkey.
2. a contemptibly foolish or stupid person; dolt; blockhead; ass

Barack hit the nail on the head, in a nutshell!

But, the controversy goes beyond the alleged name-calling.

Apparently, when the President uttered the off-the-cuff slight, he was off-camera in-between-takes.

But, worse than that, informed sources verified later that the powers-that-be at the Network in question agreed to respect the President's wishes that the remark remain "off-the-record".

Unfortunately, another overzealous Jacka**  (they're running rampant around the political landscape these days) seized the golden opportunity to tweet his way to fame before the strong arm of his employer was able to silence him.

Uh-huh!

Within hours, the President's comment was zig-zagging around the country - and overseas, too - causing a heapload of mayhem in its wake.

Part of the blame rests with the President, in my estimation.

Obviously, he's a bit balmy if he thought his wishes would be respected, in this tattle-tale back-stabbing media-befuddled age.

As to the press, well, they blew it too.

Now that the President's trust has been broken, it is doubtful they'll ever be welcomed into the inner sanctum again.

Doris Duke's father said it best when he cautioned her on his deathbed:

"Trust no one."

And not even your instinct, on occasion, Barack!
