I will begin the clapping, join in when you can. Hooray for Alex!
Alex went to the DMV to renew his license.
When he was told to go have his picture taken he noticed that there were some men having their picture taken, these men were wearing turbans on there heads.
Alex was asked to take his hat off to have his picture taken.
He said "no", and "no" again when asked the second time.
When he was asked why he would not remove his hat he said, "those men didn't remove their head wear, I shouldn't either".
It was explained that this was their attire and their religion.
Alex told the DMV person that what he had on was his attire, and when he entered the Marines he declared an oath to the USA, and one nation under God, so that his oath was under God so just as good as his religion.
Well, the DMV people didn't know what to do, they spoke to supervisors and called Sacramento. Alex was told, after an hour, that he could wear his hat for the picture and if there were any problems they would let him know and he could appeal their decision.
He told them if there was a problem he WILL appeal it. Alex feels no one has more right to display their head gear then a Veteran or active service person. When he left several employees at the DMV clapped quietly for him. He has spoken to few other Veterans and they plan to do the same.

Coolest thing you'll see all day, Jerry Seinfeld's new season 7 premiere of Cars and Coffee, with a Petty Superbird and Will Ferrell in the passenger seat, plus a 69 Camaro, Steve Martin, and Pres Obama
Also, Garry Shandling, Kathleen Madigan and Sebastian Maniscalco, plus a 63 split window,
�This was an opportunity to pull back the curtain for Americans on life in the White House,� the White House said in a statement. �The president and Jerry had a unique, candid conversation that focused largely on the lighter side of the presidency.�
�It was out-of-body for me,� Seinfeld says by phone afterward. �I�m not a guy who likes honor. In fact, I hate any kind of honoring. That I get to be a comedian � that�s the honor. But this was an honor: that [Obama] was okay with me, that he trusted me to do some comedy with him in the real White House.�

Episodes are estimated to cost roughly $100,000, with guests being paid in cash and the initial raw shoot lasting on average three-and-a-half hours, which is then edited over a two-week period down to a 12�20 minute episode. The process uses a lean production staff, involves a minimum of network interaction, and is designed as an edited and unscripted talk show without an audience that can be comfortably watched on a smart phone.
Prior to development of the series, Seinfeld was told by leading social network advisers, including those at Facebook and Yahoo, that a show length exceeding five minutes had little chance of success on the web. Howard Schultz, coffee magnate and Chairman of Starbucks, turned down the opportunity to sponsor the show. Acura eventually sponsored the show, giving Seinfeld creative license with creating the commercials and product placements.
