PC'ness at its worst

Beaners BiggbyBack in my hometown the Beaner's Coffee stores are undergoing a widespread name change to avoid being "insensitive" to the Mexican community. It's one thing if the name is irrelevant to its product, but coffee is made out of beans and that's the he and the she of it. Even more upsetting is the relative obscurity of this so-called racial slur. The new name, Biggby, is just garbage. If this NPR-ization of the American psyche continues, I say look out Cracker Barrel: you could be next.

If this is a harbinger of things to come, I suggest we need another name entirely for those nasty little flying things with stingers, that build mud nests and get extremely iritated when you tear them down.

Have a good holiday Bryant. Will you be in Keo?

Brian

Sure will! Will you make it back?

We should get there Sunday afternoon, and leave Tuesday afternoon. I will probably try to contact your Dad at some point during that time.

Fleas naughty dog!(which is what I thought the words to the song were, when I was just a youngster)
