Have We Missed Anybody?

Here we go, again, with the apologies. This time it comes from the U.S. Senate, whose members have nothing better to do. They are apologizing, this time, for slavery, segregation and the Jim Crow laws.

Maybe next week, we'll apologize to the American Indians for the Trail of Tears and Wounded Knee.

Then, probably we need to beg forgiveness for rounding up Japanese-Americans during WWII and putting them in interment (relocation) camps.

And, will the North apologize to the South for the carpetbaggers and the South to the North for Andersonville?

Don't we need to apologize to all the legal immigrants from Mexico, and elsewhere, for lumping them in with the illegals?

Shouldn't we sincerely apologize to everyone we allowed Senator Joe McCarthy to ruin by accusing them of being Commies, with no proof?

How about the Mafia? We've said some pretty rough things to and about Italian-Americans in our day, particularly that nice Michael Corleone.

Furthermore, we can't forget the "Lace Curtain Irish", when they came over here and became our housemaids, chauffeurs, and politicians. Why, if it hadn't been for Joseph Kennedy, prohibition would have been a lot worse, you betcha.

We've certainly insulted our neighbors to the North, snickering about the Canadians' quirky senses of humor, eh?

We can even go international, and extend a sincere apology to the French for all those cracks about "Freedom Fries". Or, maybe not.

Stay tuned.
