QuoteSome wealthy Manhattan moms have figured out a way to cut the long lines at Disney World — by hiring disabled people to pose as family members so they and their kids can jump to the front, The Post has learned. The "black-market Disney guides" run $130 an hour, or $1,040 for an eight-hour day.

"My daughter waited one minute to get on 'It's a Small World' — the other kids had to wait 2 1/2 hours," crowed one mom, who hired a disabled guide through Dream Tours Florida.

I mean, the paper is tabloid schlock, but the story seems legit.

Leaving aside the "Haji cripple" aspect of it, this is just another example of the two-rule system.

"My daughter waited one minute to get on 'It's a Small World' — the other kids had to wait 2 1/2 hours,"

Her daughter, I imagine, will learn quite a bit from this experience.

And that's where the Mitt Romneys of the world come from.

I get a very strong impression that he considers himself significantly smarter and more objective than everyone else, and in his own mind is merely deigning to point out what he thinks is obvious.

He undoubtedly claims the oh-so-douchey moniker "contrarian" at cocktail parties.

This. I'd bet lessons learnt in "the happiest place on earth" stick to kids pretty well. Especially things like money=power=privilege.

The parents then re-enforce that by shouting about it to all their friends when they get home. Really beats the lesson into you. Kinda links to that billionaire who had a bitch fit because he thought they fucked up the rich list. Self identifying your personal wealth as a key part of personal worth. Rambling, need to think this through better.

I found "Slate writer" was a major tip-off this might be the case, personally.

Oh yes, absolutely! Those rules only apply to the little people. If I'm not one of them, I get to do what I want.

Precisely.  Also, that disabled people are an appliance, like a GPS.

ALL the "other" people are appliances, with functions like cleaning, landscaping and doing the actual work that increases your profit margin.

Well, like all of those kind of people, they can be useful sometimes.

I think I switched the food drip on Wednesday. It may have something to do with the overflowing catheter. Get MnnbtTtete to have a look at that and clean it up.

Do we even have to bring the cripple on the ride once we get to the head of the line?  It kind of ruins the experience.
