Pathetic

On Sunday night a guy whom I have dubbed the Neighborhood Asshole was standing in the street drunkenly yelling "spic" and "welfare" at the cooperative townhouses across from my building. (He was actually singing rather than yelling and I have to admit it sounded pretty decent...lyrical content aside.) I believe that Neighborhood Asshole lives in a house adjacent to my parking lot and standing out there last night it occured to me that anyone white trash enough to have an enormous bug lamp hanging from his back porch is probably not in a position to offer racial or socio-economic commentary.
