The Immortal Granny Clampett
Published October 17, 2002
Irene Ryan was born 10-17-1902. She would have been 100 years old today. We sure need her now.
Daisy Mae Moses struck a chord with many millions of country folk. They saw reflections of classic ideas of their strong granny women who raised the families and kept everything on track.
We need more of them. If there were more hardcore granny folk like this on duty, you wouldn't have half the nonsense that's going on in the world. You wouldn't have idiot kids shooting up schools, that's for sure. She'd have brought them up better than that. She sure wouldn't be bringing them up to whine and pitch and bitch every time they didn't get their way.
Also, Granny Clampett could handle the likes of some punk like Saddam Hussein. Usually, Jed would haul her off before she killed someone. This one, he'd probably just let her have at.

That's right, Al. No doubt kids would be a helluva lot better at cipherin' too. When I was a young boy (back sometime in the last century), we learned our gazintas till we knew them cold. That's because my teachers had an element of Granny in them.
I love granny she's my favortie tv character
