Go Speedy!

I'm just plain sick of hypersensitivity, and unfortunately this country is full of it. Please don't interpret this as an endorsement of intolerance, racism, or anything like that. But there's a huge difference between aggressing against someone (i.e. taking action to hurt someone) and having a sense of humor. That being said, today's "Get Over Yourself" award goes to the Mexican postal system, which has been the recipient of sharp criticism from America's sensitivity brigades over a new stamp series they've released.

Seems the stamp includes a caricature of a black individual, and apparently all cartoons have to pass the race warlord sensitivity test or they just can't be tolerated (even in other countries). But hats off to the Mexicans, who had the sense to point out that they understand that Speedy Gonzalez is just a cartoon, and they're confident that Americans can make that leap when it comes to Mexican stamps. Slam dunk! Good job Mexico!

Next thing you know we'll hear how Bill Cosby's Fat Albert cartoon was "insensitive" because it made light of obesity. Oh, wait a minute .... Bill Cosby has already shown that he's "insensitive" to the black community. He's dared assert that individual responsibility is an essential ingredient for success. How foolish of me ......
