TRUMP CARD: We’re halfway through

TRUMP CARD: We’re halfway through the inaugural season of “The Apprentice,” and I have a few questions: Was it planned that the first four people off the show would be men, and the next four would be women? With all the “business tasks” being assigned, why haven’t the contestants yet been asked to run one of Trump’s casinos in AC for a day? That way, the contestants would have to decide whether or not to hire thugs to intimidate the card-counters- and I can just see the boardroom of that episode now:

TROY: I wanted to hire additional muscle, but Bill insisted on putting that money into more cigarette girls.
BILL: That’s wrong! Troy is dishonest! It’s his fault the casino got robbed!
TRUMP: If there’s anything I’ve learned from my years owning casinos, it’s that being able to effectively break people’s legs is the key to every successful operation. Bill- YOU’RE FIRED!

And another thing: Much has been made about the fact that all eight women chosen for the show have the exact same body type, and it just happens to be the body type that Trump himself is well-known to prefer- indeed, the females of “The Apprentice” and the general cast of “America’s Next Top Model” are more or less interchangeable. The lone Midwesterner -Minnesota farm girl Jessie- was cute, but certainly not "cornfed" Where's the diversity, Donald?
And speaking of no diversity, how in the hell are we supposed to tell Ereka, Kristi, and Katrina apart, considering the three of them all look exactly identical? Since they all have unnatural K’s in their names; I’m tempted to call them the KKK Girls; no wonder none of them get along with Omarosa.
