This PC stuff has gotten beyond ridiculous.

On C-Span a few weeks ago, there was a discussion about how the big 5 textbook producers change the history books. One change that has been made (relatively minor but silly nonetheless) is that textbooks are not supposed to mention "mountains" or "beach". No joke.

The feeling is that kids who have never seen mountains or beaches will feel left out and it will hurt their self esteem.

You can't offend anybody anymore. I'm sitting here listening to Ray Stevens' "Ahab the Arab."

...and you could hear him talk to his camel as he rode out across the dunes..."heya, heyaeya eyaeya hyah..." which is arabic for, "stop, Clyde!" and Clyde would say, "heya, heyaeya eyaeya hyah..." which is camel for, "What the heck did he say?" ... He brought that camel to a screeching halt at the rear of Fatima's tent jumped off Clyde, snuck around the corner and into the tent he went. There he saw Fatima laying on a Zebra skin rug, wearing rings on her fingers and bells on her toes and a bone in her nose ho, ho.

Pretty soon stuff like this, a part of MY American Girlhood, will be banned altogether.

ROTFL !!! Why am I laughing? Cold chills should be running down my spine at the thought of our "illustrious statesmen" in DC giving any credence to anything this microscopic in importance in view of what is going on all over the country with vote fraud in Washington State to our porous North and South border problems. In fact, I think I need my shawl right now!
