    A major drive to eliminate any terminology that might even vaguely have something to do with anything intelligent. We used to designate the California twinkie types as being something akin to being an idiot but now it seems to be an honored estate to be “woke” and show your “wokeness”.

    I did notice that they had an LBGTQ+ variety of canned wine in the grocery store today, and I wonder if they'll sell any.

    I am now even questioning what is behind the name Jolly Rancher?

    I prefer Feliz Vasquero as it sounds less politically correct.

    However, to be correct and not ruffle any feathers on hens that don't lay eggs, Ranchero Alegre would be correct for Jolly Rancher.

    Thank goodness the “other than straights” haven’t taken the word “jolly” yet. It would put a whole new meaning to a Jolly Santa Clause.
    LBGTQJ?
    I guess if they did then jolly might designate someone who wasn’t quite sure if they were gay or not.

    America and the UK were flying Gay Pride flags over embassies in the Arab Gulf.

    I don't know why they can't zone in on their advertising and ask that we respect all human life no matter what form that entails. That would cover everybody instead of all these separate agendas. It's just white noise to keep us from focusing on living life as far as I'm concerned. It's just pot stirring.

    I'm confused now. Was there something wrong with that?

    I was just being a wise guy because nowadays, anything white isn't politically correct.
