The Beatings Will Continue Until

The Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves - Tocquevillian has this unbelievable story - which, unfortunately, happens to be utterly believable.

A local Texan, who has a Mexican-American surname...called the office of one of the renegade democrats to lodge his complaint - intending to say that the lawmaker had shirked his sworn duty as a mature and responsible elected official.

At first, the office operator was happy to take his call because of his Latino surname; but when the details of his complaint began to come out, the operator quickly went on the defensive and offered several alibis for this renegade's malfeasance...after several additional inane excuses were given - with each being effectively debunked by the caller - the operator asked quite snidely if the caller was a registered Democrat. When the caller told her he was a Republican, the operator was nonplussed.

"I don't believe you," she said. "You're just a trouble maker. We never get calls from Mexican-Americans who are Republican."

The caller then dropped the other shoe. "I'm not Mexican-American," he said. "I'm an American".
