Political Correctness Run AMOK (Again)....

OK, it's Easter, and we know what all that's SUPPOSED to mean....easter egg hunts, tons o' chocolate bunnies, peeps, jelly beans, easter baskets with toys, high mass, a great dinner, and even Anerica's favorite cat getting into the spirit of the holiday.

But in Rhode Island....."There is no joy in Mudville", as the poem goes. And it's not because "Mighty Casey" has struck out either...it's because one school superintendent there (who was prodded by ONE EX-Catholic) decided that the "Easter Bunny" is no longer "appropriate", and therefore will no longer be represented as such. From now on, it will be "PETER RABBIT" from the children's tale (NOT to be confused with Peter Cottontail from the children's SONG). You remember Peter...the rabbit that, although he had THREE (count 'em 3) sisters (Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail) with absolutely NO criminal past, was caught STEALING food from a nearby farmer's garden (I believe the farmer's name was McGregor). Mr. McGregor was never compensated for the thefts, and could not be reached for comment at this time. And to top all this off, this story (Tales of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter) isn't EVEN a story from any literary history of the USA...it's from across the pond in the UK!

So we have a KNOWN CRIMINAL (and most likely an illegal alien) representing Easter now, thanks to those ultra-uber-PC morons that have managed to snatch yet another bastion of childhood from our kids' lives. Must be the same damn people that pushed the manufacturing of "pimp" and "ho" Hallowe'en costumes for elementary school age kids last year.

Yepper...nothing is sacred anymore.
Forget the fact that this is the MOST HOLY time of the Judeo-Christian calendar. Forget that we have an innocuous creature such as a small rabbit (formerly known as the Easter Bunny) bringing some joy to kids (btw, this stems from a quaint PA Dutch Amish tradition), and does not slander, defame or demean ANY aspect of the RELIGIOUS significance of the season.
We have a flop-eared FELON showing us the proper way to enjoy Easter, thanks to "political correctness". Want to REALLY enjoy Easter? Go STEAL something...yeah, that sure as hell sends the proper message to kids, as well as their parents.

Well, screw all that crap...I'm locked on to cable with the movies that REALLY call the shots at this time of year. Movies such as KING OF KINGS, THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, JESUS OF NAZARETH, and the like.

So much for ME being anything CLOSE to "PC", eh?
I'm just like caffeine in 7-Up...Never had it...never will.

Like the picture says...Show me THE Bunny!
(and pass the jelly beans)
