I grew-up with Aunt Jemima. She represented a good and wholesome product and someone who 'cared'. What better for breakfast than Aunt Jemima pancakes and bacon or sausage? Then, one day we woke-up to the idea that we were supporting racism and we were racist for eating her pancakes! How screwed-up is that? Remember the shit-storm over the 'Frito Bandito'? Chuck

Thanks! Chuck

Here ya' go... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aunt_Jemima Chuck

I think, you're right. Didn't they just 'morderize' her? Chuck

Far as I know, they are both history. Chuck

Damn skippy! Screw what anybody else says. Looney Tunes were the greatest. 3 hours of that shit every Saturday morning on TV, and 3 hours of The Three Stooges every Sunday morning too. Those were the good old days. You bet they were! People laughed at stuff that we wouldn't dare laugh at today. Everybody today is so damned sensitive, you can't gig anyone any more. You have to be so careful you don't step on anyone's toes. Those old cartoons weren't taken seriously. Folks laughed at them and forgot about them. Folks can say what they want but maybe those WERE the good ol' days. Chuck

I agree with the article. Chuck

The one that got me wondering was Popeye. The way he treated Olive Oyl. Damn! The thing is, we know the difference, now. Times have changed and so has our thinking. Hopefully for the good. Did we think about the 'mammy' when we were kids watching those cartoons? I doubt it. We didn't look deep into anything in those cartoons. That was left for when we got older. I still, like the Looney Tunes cartoons. Chuck Chuck

Someone is being just a little to sensitive... http://home.myhughesnet.com/tv/3/player/vendor/GeoBeats/player/fiveminute/asset/geobeats-amazon_tacks_a_racial_prejudice_warning_onto_tom_j-5min Chuck

I was just thinking the same thing...but I use a cypress screw driver for this. I used a Cypres screw driver at first but switched to a longer pick. It's just worked good for me and gets a 'sharper' corner. I basically use Sandy Reid's method of making a corner but adapted it to a single needle machine. Chuck

I use a pointed 'pick' to work the under-side of the tape with my machine ready to make the stitch. As soon as the tape looks the way I want it, I drop the presser foot and make the stitch. I've been accused of owning a double needle machine. I use a 31-15 Singer. Chuck

Tell her it would make her ass look big! seriously... I've experienced situations where a jumper wanted something that could possibly be dangerous. I told them that I didn't feel comfortable doing it for safety reasons. That worked about 99% of the time. Some folks just get silly about some things. Chuck

Looks to me like a marker light bulb for a Jeep, utility trailer or 18-wheeler trailer. Pretty universal bulb. Chuck

Let's see... The boss was out of town... nobody is going to try anything... no need to worry. The Vigaro hit the Mixmaster! Now, the SS is scrambling to save their be-hinds. Nothing new here! Chuck

That was the joke. She won't lose. I pray to God she loses!! Chuck

Just as an aside, Slade was the greatest effing band that the US never really noticed. And Run Runaway is one of the best songs I've ever heard. I dig that band and that song. \m/ \m/ You got that right!! Chuck

That's horrible! Fluffy got the frizzies! Chuck

Rickles is still, hilarious. His and Joan Rivers' type of comedy was doomed by 'political correctness'. Both of them got people to laugh at themselves and not take themselves so serious. I enjoy their kind of humor. RIP Ms. Rivers. Chuck

Obama approved air strikes so a drone took-out 1 low level terrorist. That'll really show 'em! Chuck

Or, perhaps a fruit cake. Fruit cake makes a great projectile. A fruit cake to the head or testicles would incapacitate any would-be assassin. Don It would strike fear in the heart of the bravest of men! Chuck

There's a saying out there...been out there a long time! "A Grand Jury could indict a ham sandwich!" Yessir! Chuck

At least, his head isn't going to be held cryogenically, hermetically sealed in a Mason Jar in Arizona! Then too... Chuck

You would think! But, as we've seen more than once from these folks......... ("inappropriately" is not necessarily "illegally".) If the DA had acted appropriately, she would not have been arrested, convicted and thrown in the hoosegow. ...and Perry would not have done what he did. Two wrongs don't make a right. She opened the door, in a round about way for him to show what he's really made of. Chuck
