Kanye West Doesn't Care About White People!




Kanye probably felt like an asinine fool, so he quickly posted this apology to his official website, which is currently down. Check out how *not effing crazy* Kanye is...

Welcome to the Not-So-Justice System!


A couple days ago, I trotted down to my local "Hall of Justice" to try and have my boyfriend's recent traffic ticket revoked.

See, he was driving my car in Winston-Salem, NC. And since I've been in NYC for, say, the past 3+ years, I hadn't yet taken the time to renew my tags...

Ruh-roh. Maybe you can see where this is going...

Anywho. While driving my car, we're pulled over by a local good 'ol boy cop. He's very polite, and since I "look like a nice young lady and all," tells me that he must give my boyfriend a ticket but that, "if you call the District Attorney's office, they'll dismiss the ticket."

Literally, folks. Those were his exact words.

Anywho. A couple days later, I start calling the DA's office. After an entire week of my calling and being told to "leave a message and we'll call you back" by the DA's answering service -- with no one ever actually calling me back, of course -- I finally head down to take care of the ticket in person.

And what am I told when I arrive?

These are exact quotes, ya'll... get this:

DA Office Worker: "Cops lie all the time. I wouldn't trust what he said."

Me: "Um... well, then, how are citizens supposed to know the law if officers of the court -- whose job it is to enforce it and, thus, serve and protect the public -- blatantly lie?"

DA Office Worker: "No comment."

Me: "... Okay. So, what happens if my boyfriend won't be in the state of NC to show up in court about this ticket?"

DA Office Worker:
"I don't know. You may want to contact an attorney about that. I can't give legal advice."

Me:
"... Okay. Can you at least tell me if he'll get points on his driving record?"

DA Office Worker:
"I don't know."

Me: "Well, who would?"

DA Office Worker:
"Maybe the DMV."

Me: "Okay. Can I call them, or go down to their office and ask?"

DA Office Worker:
"I don't know. You may want to contact an attorney about that. I can't give legal advice."

Me: "I need to ask an attorney just to see if I should go down to the DMV?"

DA Office Worker: "Yeah. But they'll lie to you, too. You know, just so you'll pay the ticket and fees and all."

Me: "Um... how is all this lying to the public legal?"

DA Office Worker: "I don't know. You may want to contact an attorney about that. I can't give legal advice."

Me: "No comment."

Welcome to the Not-So-Justice Department, folks! Isn't bureaucracy GREAT?

I Will Never, EVER Use Priceline EVER Again. And Neither Should You.


Priceline put the wrong name on my boyfriend's ticket, then wouldn't admit to their mistake, and also wouldn't refund our money. He missed his flight tonight, ruining our Labor Day weekend. I will never, ever use a third party ticket vendor again.

Step Into My Office.... (sssh! the cats are listening!)
