Do the Washington Nationals tickets come with a time machine?
Posted on | July 7, 2008 | 5 Comments
One of the side-effects of purchasing tickets online to see the Washington Nationals is that they find out what your email address is. They then use it to send you a seemingly never ending flood of special offers. This morning I received an email from them telling me about a special Hispanic Heritage night at the ballpark. The email states that the promotion will take place on July 1. That’s almost a week ago.
How am I supposed to attend a promotion if they don’t tell me about it until almost a week after it happened? I am all for honoring Hispanic heritage, especially if it means I get to eat chile rellenos.
I love chile rellenos.

I’m always appalled by “heritage” nights at ballgames, etc. Once you become a citizen of the country, aren’t you just an American? Who gives a shit about what your heritage is- it’s just another outmoded way of labeling people. I think it causes more trouble than it’s worth.
But if they served quesadillas, I guess I could overlook it.

What makes me cringe when white people talk about being of Irish heritage. When Tim Russert kicked the bucket, he was constantly referred to as being “Irish”. Really? I thought he was an American from upstate New York.
There’s no such thing as an Irish race. You wouldn’t know that from all the pretend Irishmen walking around the United States. If you were born in America and your parents were born in America, guess what? You are an American.

Yeah- I think a lot of prejudice and stereotypes get perpetuated because people want to hang on to some bullshit, meaningless identity of their forefathers.

And if their forefathers really cared about the old country, they would have stayed in the old country.

You should just set up a second email account at Hotmail, and use it any time something requires your email address. I do that, and that way I don’t have to sift through dozens of viagara ads everytime I want to read the dozens of forwarded joke emails my “friends” sent.
