    Political correctness run amuck?

    http://money.cnn.com/2008/05/29/news...ex.htm?cnn=yes

    Apparently Rachael was wearing what looks to be a kaffiyeh. So what?

    Frankly, it's assinine on both sides. The chain shouldn't have pulled the ad, and the column was ridiculous.

    "Kaffiyehs are worn every day on the street by Palestinians and other people in the Middle East - by people going to work, going to school, taking care of their families, and just trying to keep warm. While some extremists and terrorists may wear kaffiyehs, "To reduce their meaning to support for terrorism has a tacit racist tone to it," Bishara said."

    I agree with Bishara. Even if it *was* a kaffiyeh (which I don't believe it was), to say she was a terrorist or a racist just because of it would be stupid. Did everyone who wore Nikes think the Halle-Bopp comet was coming to take them away? Of course not. As Bishara said, many people wear the kaffiyeh - and while some of them are terrorists, most of them are NOT.

    Had she been wearing something like the swatisza, that would be an obviously racist symbol. Her scarf is not.

    Here in Spain those scarves are super fashion-able and everyone is wearing them.

    I guess I will head off to the training camp then.

    Somebody needs to get a life. This "story" is just dumb.
    It's not like the news people are out of "real" news stories to talk about.

    RR is a terrorist. She terrorizes me at home when she pops up on my TV.

    If you notice whenever she uses one of her made up words on her show people suffer.

    Look in the newspaper tomorrow and see how many people are injured or die in your city-she was on television twice tonight-that means twice the destruction.

    If you go online and look at the stuff she sells under her name you'll find at least one article that costs 9.99. If you turn that price upside down, it's 66.6.

    I don't like her at all but this is beyond stupid! Way too much PC in the U.S. for me these days. Oh, guess it only happens to Rachel.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.
