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.

Little Buddy...Like Uncle Bob????

I saw my Body (shop) Man on Friday who relayed a very funny story, since detailed by Chad and Holly. Seems one of the little buddy's was playing on the back of Mommy's car when he 'accidentally' broke off the rear windshield wiper. Undoubtedly his beady little eyes shifted left, then right, then out the back of his head to see if anyone noticed. When no one had noticed, he put it back on and ran like hell. Day later when Mommy activated her rear wiper, that sucker shot across Martin Street like a javelin at the '84 Olympiad. When confronted about this and asked what Mommy should do when needing the wiper, he replied, get out and wipe off the window. Classic. Now anyone knows that Uncle Bob is a bit accident prone and always has been. Just last summer I helped a neighber move his mailbox closer to his home, to save on the walk. I however used my Jeep. And when my eyes went to shifting they went back and forth to the vast number of neighbors who had come out to see what was the matter. At the end of the day he had a new mailbox, closer to his home and I had new racing stripes on the Jeep. And Michele had $250 less to shop with. Lesson? Don't try to tie your shoes while driving. Now, can you guess the little buddy? And is this another example that he might be more like his Unlce Bob than most would be comfortable with??

Get Bent Mrs Bierman

Where's my Paper? I spent the weekend dodging bullets, saw my ole man get gunned down by some jackass with six slugs, then watched my mom get humped by every young buck in a 2 mile section, and you want to know where my paper is? Get Bent Mrs. Bierman.

Bear Skin Rug

Michele and I just did some remodeling work in the front room. New carpet, paint, etc. But the focal point was a new fireplace and mantel. So I ordered this rug to put in front, to give it that lodge feel. She doesn't think it's all that tasteful. I'd welcome any opinions. It's a bitch to vacuum, I will give her that....
