I seriously don't understand what's going on in our country these days. Here are two examples.....

1) The controversy of the iconic song, "Baby It's Cold Outside". It's a seventy year old classic. But according to the #MeToo movement thinks it's inappropriate and promotes date rape, describing a man pressuring a woman to stay despite her adamantly telling him "no, no, no." If you really want to get pissy, please make sure you throw in that it is PROMOTING cigarette usage!!!

If you do NOT like it, it's actually really simple....... TURN THE STATION!!! Voila ~ Done ~

For the love of God and All That's Holy..... Listen to the lyrics of the original 1944 version:

(I really can't stay) But, baby, it's cold outside
(I've got to go away) But, baby, it's cold outside
(This evening has been) Been hoping that you'd drop in
(So very nice) I'll hold your hands they're just like ice

(My mother will start to worry) Beautiful, what's your hurry
(My father will be pacing the floor) Listen to the fireplace roar
(So really I'd better scurry) Beautiful, please don't hurry
(Well, maybe just half a drink more) Put some records on while I pour

(The neighbors might think) Baby, it's bad out there
(Say what's in this drink) No cabs to be had out there
(I wish I knew how) Your eyes are like starlight now
(To break this spell) I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell

(I ought to say no, no, no, sir) Mind if I move in closer
(At least I'm gonna say that I tried) What's the sense of hurting my pride
(I really can't stay) Baby, don't hold out
[Both] Baby, it's cold outside

(I simply must go) But, baby, it's cold outside
(The answer is no) But, baby, it's cold outside
(The welcome has been) How lucky that you dropped in
(So nice and warm) Look out the window at the storm

(My sister will be suspicious) Gosh your lips look delicious
(My brother will be there at the door) Waves upon a tropical shore
(My maiden aunt's mind is vicious) Gosh your lips are delicious
(But maybe just a cigarette more) Never such a blizzard before

(I got to get home) But, baby, you'd freeze out there
(Say lend me a coat) It's up to your knees out there
(You've really been grand) I thrill when you touch my hand
(But don't you see) How can you do this thing to me

(There's bound to be talk tomorrow) Think of my life long sorrow 

(At least there will be plenty implied) If you caught pneumonia and died 

(I really can't stay) Get over that hold out
[Both] Baby, it's cold outside

and;

2) I just read an article that stated that a Principal in Omaha, Nebraska banned candy canes. Yes, candy canes because their shape of a "J" stood for Jesus. Wow!!!! To think that I made it 54 years, 8 months, and 26 days and NEVER once thought a candy cane looked like a J for Jesus. The article posted on a news station site also stated that Santa Claus, Christmas trees, candy canes, and reindeer were off limits too.

On a positive note, a district spokesperson said that the Principal, bless her heart, had been placed on administrative leave, effective Thursday because her decisions does not reflect the policy of Elkhorn Public Schools regarding holiday symbols in the school.

Now would be a good time for us to bow our heads and say a little prayer for her.
