The current hot-button issue among America's liberal elite is this teakettle being sold by J. C. Penny's. The left is horrified because it appears to be a likeness of Hitler. I thinks it's a stretch, but I guess if one is hyper-imaginative, excessively sensitive, and terminally politically correct, the teakettle handle, body, and spout look like Adolf saluting. I'm not sure, but I imagine that when the water boils the the escaping steam says Sieg Heil. J.C. Penny's is scurrying around trying to distance itself from the uproar and disclaiming any intention to glamorize, laud, or memorialize Der Führer with their teakettle. In the meantime the entire stock of teakettles has been sold out. Dwight
