Carlin Does PC

George Carlin - Political Correctness is fascism pretending to be Manners Blogged videos are mostly skipped over, but this is an instance where the narrative is so crisp; so succinct, and so sensible,  that you may want to make an exception.  Oh, and Carlin, here, is SFW.

Bishop Sheen Censored

EWTN 5817 Old Leeds Rd. Irondale, AL 35210 (205) 271- 2900 viewer@ewtn.com Last week, having fallen asleep watching EWTN,  I woke to the sound of Bishop Sheen's Life is Worth Living [Gloom, Laughter,Humor].  It began with B.Sheen cocking his yarmulke off to the side to get a laugh, and saying he once knew a Bishop who wore his cocked forward to hide the fact he's lost his hair.  Anon, he rued that today we can no longer tell jokes about Jews, Italians, etc.; and what a shame we had lost capacity to make fun of ourselves. This resonated.  As a kid in Chicago, attending St. Francis Borgia, our homework assignment every Monday was to watch Life is Worth Living. We were grilled the next day by Father Theissen,  lest we had instead played hooky and watched Sid Caesar—like our public school brethren did. Our parish was a melting pot of Italian, Polish and Irish.  Ethnic humor was a staple; nobody took offense at being lampooned by "Dago" or "Polack" jokes.  Of course, being called a stupid 'Mick" by someone you didn't know was a fighting offense; it was all in the intent. Then came Political Correctness, the movement pushed by educators like Donna Shalala to control speech; but I digress. I tried to record the audio from the beginning, but was watching (Live Broadcast) on my iPad (using the EWTN app), and couldn't go back.  I checked to see if it was scheduled for repeat, and yes!  Saturday, March 29 at 6PM!  Click-click I scheduled it, and was on hand to watch it live.  Guess what? In an act of bodacious irony, it seems that somebody at EWTN deemed the "cannot tell jokes about Jews, Italians, etc" segment inflammatory, and cut it.  You can tell where it was cut because the empty space is filled by replaying the opening "tilting yarmulke" segment.  Not only is it confusing, it's—well, it's cowardly to censor the words of someone as celebrated as Bishop Fulton Sheen in order not to offend the professional offended classes.  Have I missed something?  I'm hoping this was an unintentional glitch, and the original unedited video will be rescheduled, or at least offered for sale.  I'm blogging this, so I hope to hear a "live" explanation response. Sincerely .... The Real King of France

Prince Charles with a fag and a hag PC ALERT

MoSup was telling me earlier that news accounts of the royal mob confrontation she watched showed Prince Charles holding a lit cigarette in his hand.  She was surprised because she hadn't known he was a smoker.  Later on she watched as another account used the same picture, but this time the fag was photochopped away.  If you see that version, let us know.  Why?  I dunno.  Because. In the MSNBC account the announcer says that the riots are in response to the "government tripling college tuition in a country where it has long been free." Hmmmm.. 3 X 0= ???

Oh the insanity!

Starring Clancy Wiggums as Jeb Bush Jeb Bush says Arizona law is  'wrong approach' on immigration

“ The former Florida governor quipped that it was obvious he was not running for office, noting that his views differed from most of his Republican colleagues, The Denver Post reported last weekend.

Jeb cites as the preferred way one  proposed by Florida Senate President Pro Tempore Mike Bennett.  It's the same as Arizona's but doesn't use racial profiling in its quest to identify the (primarily) Mexican illegals who are the main problem.  Blah-blah-insipid blah.  Read about it here and come to your own conclusion.  I'm in agreement with Ann Coulter when she says  "And he's the good one. No More Bushes."

Politically Correct Tom & Jerry rewriting history

All Political Correctness does is define new classes of victim hood, and reasons for grievance.  I despise it in any form.  Tom & Jerry cartoons seem to have especially felt the wrath of public scolds.  The "Mammy maid" character appeared in many T&J toons.  During the purge, Black actress Lillian Randolph’s voice was replaced by White actress June Foray.  Since the studios  kept pictures and sound reels separately, the voice sometimes didn’t match up the correct Tom & Jerry version when the white maid spoke with Mammy’s voice.  This is all quite insane.  I've gathered some examples below.  Here's some commentary. Puss Gets the Boot" (10 Feb 1940) Puss Gets the Boot" (Re-engineered) Mammy's voice was redubbed fairly early on (before they started using the white maid voice), in the original, Mammy says "O-W-T...Out!" & later in the cartoon “O-U-W-T…Out! In the edited version, she spells it correctly ("O-U-T"). Here's more   Fraidy Cat (original version) Fraidy Cat (reissued version) Puss N' Toots (original version) Puss N' Toots (reissued version) Yankee Doodle Mouse (1943) Yankee Doodle Mouse (reissued version) After Jerry climbs the washboard, Mammy looks for a burgler and is attacked by Tom, all these shots get removed. The scene on the record player has a section removed from the middle. The part where Jerry gets a tail full of record needles and a record lands on Tom's head making him look Chinese, followed by Jerry mocking Tom is hacked out. Tom as a “blackface flower” after an exploding teapot is often removed.

Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40    No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?   So, to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics intent on killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people.. They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males between the ages 17 and 40 alone lest they be guilty of profiling.                                     Foot note: Fort Hood Texas ......another Muslim 39 years old killed 13 people and wounded 30 some odd others... Does this fit the profile!   Now our Commander-in-Chief is telling us that the Muslim who attempted to blow up the Northewest/Delta jet on Christmas Day was an isolated incident.                       ” Yup, I remember Uncle Bill saying that.  Thank you Cuzzin Ricky.

From XM Comedy last night ... “ This PC stuff is killing me.  I was censored on Leno.  They told me I couldn't use one of my routines because I used "Retard."  I asked why?  Because it's an offensive word, they answered.  Offensive to whom?  [Ralphie Mays] ” *Smacks head*  The accepted alternative, according to the Donna Shalalas of the word, is "Mentally challenged."
