I can't believe we still haven't cosigned rent control to the flames. Thanks for the reminder. I hate Mondays.

Why did I misread item three as "Viceroy for Rent Control"?

Here's one for the H&R crowd to debate.

Hotel owner in NM asks Hispanic employees to use "American" versions of their names. In NM, remember, where Spanish as an official state language and has been spoken for about 300 years longer than English.

There should be no problem with an employer assigning names to their employees to use at work.

See: Disney and any strip joint around.

I think this might be rife for abuse. For instance, "Welcome. Mi nombre es Mike Hunt. Please ask for me by name."

"Mi nombre es Ewan," says Juan.

Neu Mejican|10.26.09 @ 4:10PM|

Mi nombre es Liam," says Guillermo

|10.26.09 @ 4:13PM|

"Mi nombre es Giovanni," said Juan.

Neu Mejican|10.26.09 @ 4:16PM|

"Mi nombre es Faithful," says Fidel.

|10.26.09 @ 4:31PM|

"Mi nombre es Mary, Mother of God," said Maria.

Sounds like he's going to be short on staff pretty soon, NM. Even Messicans have dignity, at least when they're not sleeping.

The last chick I went out with from NM said she knew no Spanish. Thought that was strange. She did know Arabic, which I discovered how strange that was some time later.

Hotel owner in NM asks Hispanic employees to use "American" versions of their names.

Kind of like the Indian call centers where they answer the phone as "Steve" and "Mary".

I'd love to hear the American version of Jesus.

|10.26.09 @ 3:41PM|

Barack.

Neu Mejican|10.26.09 @ 4:18PM|

Chuy?

|10.26.09 @ 4:24PM|

Zod?

|10.26.09 @ 4:45PM|

Jeshua ben Joseph?

Hey Souse.

|10.26.09 @ 6:04PM|

Hey, Zeus.

|10.26.09 @ 5:20PM|

Oh, I missed an easy one: Jesus was American!
