Republicans ar SOO special!

It would seem funny to suggest that our local taxicab drivers who every day provide transportation to Republicans, Democrats, Socialists, Vegetarians, Libertarians, Prohibitionists, drunks, union members, management, old, young, rich, poor, white, black, Hispanic, Asian, Native Americans, Europeans, Africans, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, agnostic, atheist, Unitarian, tall, short, well-dressed, and shabbily-dressed, local people, visitors, and people of just about every other description, would need to go to special classes to learn how to transport Republicans and their guests for the Republican National Convention.

Yes, the suggestion would seem funny. That is, if it were not true. Local taxicab drivers have been sent a letter which seems to be more than an invitation and almost a summons to attend such classes. It seems that Bob Kessler and the folks at DSI can never run out of good ideas. Except, of course, for enforcing our ordinances against unlicensed cabs. That would require some effort and some night work.
