How can this be? Aren't we past these racist stereotypes? Especially in a PBS kids show?
PBS isn't re-running episodes from the 70's, these are all new. These new episodes are stuffed full of new, modern day, P.C. moral messages to our youth.
But,...how could they be so shallow?
Every morning I engage in about 90 minutes of tv suited for a 2 year old. The latest episode of Clifford the Big Red Dog had Clifford saving the day by being able to dig massive holes and build dirt walls to save the town from an oncoming storm.
As Clifford is digging and digging, the town folk is commenting and cheering him on. HOORAAY CLIFFORD! GO CLIFFORD! CLIFFORD WE LOVE YOU!
And then they pan to a gentlemen with a nice thick black moustache, a pancho and a shovel draped over his shoulder. Out of his mouth comes............in your best migrant worker accent, ......."Cleeefoooord, I chore like da way you deeeeeig."
WTF.
Thank god The Chrysler will get us past all this soon.

A Quick Thought about the Presidential Election
Driving along the other day I had,........."what alcoholics call, "a moment of clarity"."
I ain't votin'.
For the past few years I listened in to what's been going on. I read up on the newest political crap being thrown out there. I've always had an opinion. The last few years I've been preachin'.
Now I don't really care. I think both our options suck.
You either have more of the same from "The Coat Hanger", who probably won't live through his 4 years in office. Or, you have "The Chrysler", who is....................wait a second...................just hold your jock for this one..............................inspiring.
And he will inspire me to make sure the pressure in my tires are maximizing fuel efficiency.
On polls taken, people like him because he's inspiring. Again, great reason to vote for someone.
Their plans, and lack there of, suck. They pander. One is a cowboy in training and the other is a magician, full of illusions. Maybe I'll change his nickname from The Chrysler to.... "Copperfield".
I can't believe I'm not going to vote. I'm not even trying to convince myself to vote. Not even for the lesser of two evils in my world.
It is interesting though. I know what we'll get with The Coat Hanger, but I'm more interested to see what'll happen with The Chrysler.
Just maybe it's not going to be as easy as....... "CHAAAAAANGEEEE".........
We all know nothing in politics changes.
I do know one thing, besides me knowing I aint' votin'.
We get what we deserve.
I ain't votin'.
