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”?

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.
Mi nombre es Liam,” says Guillermo
“Mi nombre es Giovanni,” said Juan.
“Mi nombre es Faithful,” says Fidel.
“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.

Barack.
Chuy?
Zod?
Jeshua ben Joseph?
Hey Souse.
Hey, Zeus.
Oh, I missed an easy one: Jesus was American!
