Hi everyone,
A quick note to the ice conditions in the Thunder Bay area. Snow machines are going through the ice on the deeper Oli lakes. Meso and euts are ok to drive on.
On a side note my sister made a comic concerning the Sept. 11 disaster. I hope my American friends enjoy it.

I do like it!
Hey Roger,
Just some honest feedback from a guy who goes through mandatory diversity training every year……
The Arab dude don’t look enough like Bin Laden. It gives the impression that Americans don’t like any or all Arab people.
I’m as pissed off as everyone, but we don’t need to jump all the Arab/Muslim/Etc. people either. Make the guy look like Osama, and I’m sure it will be a hit!
Believe it or not, if I printed that out and put it on the wall of my cubical, I’d get fired before noon.

hey!!! if you could give me some of that beard I could tie some MEAN..AMERICAN BUCK HAIR JIGS…..I would call them……????Whisker Bisquits….LOL…
I like the cartoon. Its to bad that we are at the point in this counrty that someone could / would be fired for hanging it in thier cube. We need to can all the PC crap and use commen sense and good judgment. If some are offened to bad I AM OFFENDED BY ALL THIS PC CRAP … just a little ranting ahhhh I feel better now.
AAAAAAAAAAAAMEN BROTHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!
PC Politically correct and other dirty words.
Whatever happened to our sense of humor?
Arab Americans are probably right now one of the safest groups on the planet. Arabs in Turkey are probably also quite safe, given their opposition to terrorism, tolerance of other religions, and readiness to help the US (and the world) in ridding the planet of those who would happily march into a daycare strapped with a bomb. They get a thumbs up from me.
If middle-eastern arabs (including the Saudis) are tired of the negative press, then maybe, just maybe, they could do something about the people in thier countries that they know darned good and well are involved in terrorist activities. Maybe they could stop printing OBL posters for kids to hang on their walls like American girls hang Backstreet Boys posters. They could stop treating suicide bombers as martyrs. They could stop lashing women with cables for any and every reason under the sun. {/endrant}
I posted something similar to this on 9-11
I am sick of African-American, Asian-American, Arab-American, Hispanic-American!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m not a Polish American, I am an American……..period!
If you are a citizen of this country, you are governed by our laws and have our rights. Step up and drop the freakin’ prefix from your nationality and be an American!
PC doesn’t stand for Political Correctness, it stands for Petty Crap!!! Political Crap!!!!
And if that offends anybody………….GET OVER IT!
I think the cartoon is cool. And if it offends anybody……GET OVER IT!!!
Leave your sensitivity at the door and join the real world.
Of course there are probably a million lawyers that would sue her for drawing it.

I’m with you guys on this one too. The PC stuff is crappola. Guess that’s why I keep getting sent to diversity training!
J.
GOSH Beav!!!!!!!!!
And all this time I thought of myself as a Caucasian American!
LOL! I read this post and felt like I got sent back to boot camp! Funny! :O)
With “reality anything” being the hip new concept these days, I think we should start a movement and ask Beav to be our spokesperson! J/K
Have a good weekend you guys!
Hi Guys,
Glad you liked the cartoon.
I read all the posts and was thinking that in light of all of the P.C. people that are out there I would like to apologize for the likeness of an Muslim looking person being chased down by an American Eagle.
Now the reason for the Muslim looking person looking the way he is…………IT’S BECAUSE TERRORISTS ARE COWARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They will not dress in uniform so they will blend in and cannot be easily recognized in a field of battle! The can shoot, plant a bomb or anything and walk away and stand in the crowd to watch! It freaks me out that they claim that they are stout believers in their religion and will shave their beards and take off the turban to walk un-noticed in a crowd.
On side note………..maybe the character in the cartoon is Bin Laden…….he ain’t found yet and with enough money…or holding a gun to a plastic surgeon’s head changed his appearance.
On a fishing note…I’m going for lake trout this morning…..
