A Southern Gentleman

I loved the comments that Jamie Foxx made after winning the Oscar for Best Actor, and deservedly so for his magnificent performance in Ray. I especially enjoyed his tribute to his grandmother who he essentially thanked for making him the man he was by "beating" him. He said that his grandma could have won an oscar for how well she beat him. Foxx came close to tears visibly about how she would talk to him after beating him and tell him how she wanted him to be a good southern gentleman. Good to see corporal punishment endorsed on Hollywood's main stage. I bet a lot of people were squirming in their seats. Come on...these people probably forbid their kids from playing with toy guns or eating sugar!

So, here's a shout out to good ole southern discipline!
