There is a plague in this country that is far worse than Malaria, Black Death, or even Ebola.
And that plague is called Political Correctness.
What this blight does is stop people from recognizing that it’s OK to be different.
Imagine a world full of the one type of people and culture.
How boring.
Even the Holidays are not immune to this deadly virus.
Nowadays, not only will you offend people if you do notwish them a Merry Christmas, but you will offend people if you wish them a Merry Christmas.
Oh my gosh…what if they celebrate Hanukkah?
Or Kwanzaa?
What if they are Buddhist?
And you just wished them a Merry Christmas…
How could you?!

When I started dating my wife years ago, I explained to her that I wasn’t one of those guys who watches ESPN eight hours a day like a bunch of her friends’ significant others. I really don’t give a rat’s ass about baseball, hockey, or college sports. So she never has to worry about not being able to watch The Good Wife or some other chick show because I want to see Gonzaga play Idaho State in basketball. The only thing I ask for is three hours on Sundays to watch Pro Football. Specifically, to watch the Chicago Bears, even though they’re the furthest thing from Pro these days.
We moved away from our beloved hometown of Chicago a few years ago but I still manage to watch every Bears game. Since the games usually aren’t televised on local channels, I have to watch at those sports bars that have a…

Corroborating with statistics that show Millennials are living at home in their parents’ basements longer than previous generations, a new study released by researchers at Cornell University found that a startling 89% of Millennials plan on staying at the Thanksgiving kids’ table for as long as possible. “Whether the constituents of the kids’ table were a few years their junior or even a decade younger, our study found that an overwhelming majority of Millennials prefer the company of irritating brats rather than their older, judgmental, and financially-secure relatives,” the report stated.
We reached out to Josh Castaneda, a 25-year-old with a Bachelor of Arts in Plant Psychology, who’s currently employed as a Team Lead at Hollister. When Long Awkward Pause asked if Castaneda would be sitting at the kids’ table at Thanksgiving this year, he laughed. “Definitely. I’ll be sitting with my cousins. One’s 13, another one is 11, and the youngest…

“Daddy, I need your help,” the 7 year old says to me.
“Sure honey…with what?” I respond.
“Homework. Math. I don’t understand it.”
Second grade math. Easy. Addition. Subtraction. Piece. Of. Cake. Now is my chance to look like a Super Hero! Captain Mathman! Super Subtraction-man! The Great Additionanator!
With great pride and bravado I say, “Let’s see what we got going on here. Show me the problem.”
She walks the computer over and stops with a jolt. It’s still plugged into the wall.
Cute.
Warning:
That is the very last cute thing of this horrible tale you will read. Proceed at your own risk of hair and brain cell loss.
The 7 year old is frustrated.
“I don’t understand this problem,” she says all cute and doey eyed.

On the south side of Hampton stood the projects.
The projects were several blocks of German brick townhouses and single story shops that were now vacant. It was once an artsy neighborhood where the upper middle class lived and played. You could walk out your front door, then walk down the street to the local wine and cheese shop for a quick sample every Saturday. Over the sound system some new age music of some sort or other would…
