This is a Man

Now this is what a Man used to be. But even he is conceding he can't be Dirty Harry today. More like Henpecked Harrison. Wouldn't even get to go by Harry.

London, February 27 (ANI): Acting legend Clint Eastwood , 79, apparently believes that political correctness has rendered modern society humourless, for he accuses younger generations of spending too much time trying to avoid being offensive.

The Dirty Harry star insists that he should be able to tell harmless jokes about nationality without fearing that people may brand him "a racist".

"People have lost their sense of humour. In former times we constantly made jokes about different races. You can only tell them today with one hand over your mouth or you will be insulted as a racist," the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

"I find that ridiculous. In those earlier days every friendly clique had a 'Sam the Jew' or 'Jose the Mexican' - but we didn't think anything of it or have a racist thought. It was just normal that we made jokes based on our nationality or ethnicity. That was never a problem. I don't want to be politically correct.

We're all spending too much time and energy trying to be politically correct about everything," he added. (ANI)

Mayor who sent watermelon e-mail says he'll resign

I'm not gonna show this imagine, it can be found by googling. But Uncle Bob's Take is this PC world is run amok. Everyone running around w/their shorts just a wee bit too tight for Bob's liking.

I contend that men nowadays are a bunch of wuss' tip toeing around as to not offend anyone.

I will say is this in poor taste, yes. He is our President and as an elected official this Mayor should have known better. But let the voters decide next election, don't resign. Apologize and move on. If not re-elected, lesson learned.

And back to the President. The PC outrage only surfaces when some ninny liberal is offended. Ever hear any of the pure garbage that today's Hollywood (Whoopi, etal) said about W.

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. (AP) — The mayor of a small Southern California city says he will resign after being criticized for sharing an e-mail picture depicting the White House lawn planted with watermelons under the title "No Easter egg hunt this year."

Los Alamitos Mayor Dean Grose issued a statement Thursday saying he is sorry and will step down as mayor at Monday's City Council meeting.

Grose came under fire for sending the picture to what he called "a small group of friends." One of the recipients, a local businesswoman and city volunteer, publicly scolded the mayor for his actions.

Grose says he accepts that the e-mail was in poor taste and has affected his ability to lead the city. Grose said he didn't mean to offend anyone and claimed he was unaware of the racial stereotype linking black people with eating watermelons.

Located in Orange County, Los Alamitos is a 2 1/4-square-mile city of around 12,000 people.

Obama, I Convert to Thee

Though not commented on in this space previously, it has long been Uncle Bob's Take that these bailouts, stimulus spending, etc is simply poor fiscal policy, with dire consequences down the road. But I have come around, have seen the light as it were. Today as I did my morning soak in the hot tub I was startled to read the following headline in the Wall Street Journal: "Playboy, Posting Loss, Says it Would Consider Sale". NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The Bunnies need a bailout. Playboy is looking at further reductions than the the 14% Bunny reduction it has already experienced. This cannot happen. These hardworking young ladies have a specific talent not unlike the UAW worker in a GM plant. And is Playboy not as iconic American institution as GM or Ford? Playboy revenues have, ahem, been sagging for some time. Who better than Hef to get a stimulus?? I am suggesting that a blue ribbon panel be formed at once headed up by former President Bill Clinton to look into saving this staple of Americana. I know you can do it Mr. President and God Bless you for it.
