Special Alert
Due to the climate of political correctness now pervading America, Kentuckians can no longer be referred to as HILLBILLIES.
You must now call us APPALACHIAN-AMERICANS.
Have a nice day.

I know what your saying Cathi I've been calling myself that for years with one difference.I say I'm vertically challenged and horizontilly overcharged. .
I remember the last time I intently listened to Billy thinking he had a brilliant insightful explanation for my height I was pregnant with April.Being young and newly wed I hung on his every word after about 5 minutes of listening to his scientific B/S it all came down to a fat /pregnant JOKE ! I have only half listened to him ever since .We still laugh about it we call it his balloon theory at the time I was about to balloon him but he'd like be blown up too much   did I say that out loud  LOL.sorry I'm rambling ...........

For those of us in the under 5' extreme vertical challenged category, does that qualify us as "special needs" ?

you know what really frosts me - is the department stores decorating with traditional CHRISTMAS decorations, offering "sales" (which is just actually reducing the inflated prices) with pictures of Christmas Trees, Holly, Jingle Bells, etc, and cheerfully taking our Christmas shopping money as we buy their crap. Yet they STILL having the gall to wish me "Happy Holidays". Grrr. Sorry, but....HULLO? I'm CHRISTMAS shopping. Because I celebrate Christmas. I'm not Kwaanza shopping. I'm not Ramadan shopping. I'm not Hanukah shopping. I consistently and cheerfully wish all my non-Christian friends the appropriate greeting for their holidays and I TOTALLY respect their beliefs and their religions. All I want is for this politically correct crap-system to do the same for me. I find political correctness very incorrect and quite insulting.
So THERE.
Oh and Mel - I get that humbug feeling from time to time too - but what I meant though was that we're not supposed to say 'ho, ho, ho' because we might offend the ho ho hos.

Margi,
Yesterday & Today's Mallard Fillmore comic sums up your Department Store rant perfectly:
I think a lot of people feel the same way...too bad the stores are not catching on.
The only Department Store TV commercial I've noticed, that mentioned Christmas, was Macy's...so guess where I'm doing my Christmas shopping.

Good stuff Barb. 
No one hates political correctness more than I. In fact the very term "politically correct" turns my ever-enlarging stomach. 
Molly Ivins, once said something pretty close to this about it: "Stop sueing people at Christmas. What a tacky thing and a huge waste of time, money and energy." Sign me up.
By the way, there is a song that I cannot recall which has an ending to a verse: "Them Hillbillies are Mountain Williams now." Maybe it's from the Hoosier Hotshots.
