PRESS 4 FOR NEVERMORE
I was going to talk about how I hate new towels that leave little lint balls all over your body when you dry off. But how much can you say about that, except ... "WASH THEM FIRST, YOU (BUY-CHEAP-TOWELS) IDIOT!"
So instead, I feel like going on a tirade about ... being a white American (with colored lint balls stuck to my body).
A study by Citizen Action of New York says Manhattan juries are too white. Blacks, Asians and Hispanics are severely under-represented in jury pools there.
Three out of four people who (and here's the operative phrase) "show up" for jury duty are white, even though they only represent half of the population.
Hum. Well, hopefully those who show up can speak English.
