• September 5, 1999, on Little Red Riding Hood:

  For those of you so into PCness I have one question: Do you still take your children to see Santa Claus or do they now tell their hearts' desires to Santa Person? This is a marvelous spoof (or, if you prefer, satire) of the ridiculous lengths to which political correctness has invaded our lives. We, as a people, try to educate and legislate all forms of equality, forgetting that our actions speak much louder than our words. Unless viewed as a satire, this version is nothing more than the ruination of a fine old fairy tale. It has no other value. But for those of you who took offense at the original and find this new version to be a revelation of correctness, I would recommend James Thurber's version of the story. I would definitely recommend it to those who found this version funny. --Mary--Sept. 5, 1999
