Question: Our homeowner association manager has several "politically incorrect" tattoos on his neck, arms, hands and face depicting unacceptable symbols. He's proud of the message he's conveying through the tattoos. Owners say they resent being involuntarily subjected to his beliefs and political messages by way of his tattoos. We're afraid to say anything and the board is a bunch of scaredy cats. Should owners say something and whom should we say it to?

Question: Our manager has the phrase "My God is Awesome" embroidered by a tailor on all his clothing. He takes every opportunity to preach and flaunt his beliefs. Many of us are offended by this. What can be done?

Question: Our manager wears T-shirts, hats and jackets with the flags and militant sayings of a Third World country. These slogans and pictures are offensive and in our face. He wears them to board meetings. Our vendors also don't like it and have asked to meet with a board member instead of the manager. If any comment is made about his attire, he accuses the person of being racist. These hostilities take away from performing the business of the association. Too much time is spent arguing with him. The management company owner refuses to do anything about this; he says it's a free speech issue. Do we have to put up with this?

Answer: A homeowner association is a business and as such it should have a dress code written into its management contracts. Companies that cannot abide by your terms should not be hired or should be terminated. That includes those that fail to properly manage their own employees. You do not have to put up with this behavior, and this is not a free speech issue.

Freedom of speech is an extremely important right in our country but it is not without limits. Courts have frequently upheld restrictions to speech that are not content-based but merely dictate the time, place or manner of that speech.

Specific to employers, the courts and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission regularly uphold the right of an employer to impose reasonable restrictions on the dress, and even grooming, of employees so long as those restrictions are equally applied and not related to "protected characteristics," such as gender, race, religion, disability and military status. Prohibiting the visible display of tattoos on all employees and prohibiting long hair or facial hair on all male employees have both been upheld as reasonable policies.

In all of the cases raised by the questions above, however, it appears the management companies' employees have turned themselves into walking billboards espousing their own belief systems.

The reasons why one manager has tattoos are his personal and private business, which he can proclaim to the world outside the scope of his employment. The same can be said for the other managers' clothing, which conveys their personal beliefs.

While working for the management company that represents an association, employees' attire emblazoned with religious or political slogans not only detracts from the operation of the business, it may be misperceived as representing the collective views of the homeowners association, its owners or the board directors who were responsible for hiring them.

Even if there were no complaints, a wise board is aware of circumstances that would potentially be offensive. Best practices require the board to minimize any risk to the association and avoid any potential of incurring liability or lawsuits, regardless of the source.

Jeff Dunham andPeanut.

Behind the boyish charm and impish innocence lies a ventriloquists doll with a dirty mind and a dirtier mouth. Jeff Dunham is the hilarious equal-opportunity offender of good taste. Hes so politically incorrect that anybody else would be arrested.

He takes on everybody from President Obama to star neighbor Britney Spears, from Mexican aliens to gays nobody is spared, not even the Popeyes and adjoining Chevron gas station restaurant manager from Mesquite or the retired print-paper salesman from Alabama, both of whom sat front row Wednesday night at Planet Hollywood.

Its savage and scything sarcasm and ridicule at Jeffs new show Not Playing With a Full Deck, and everybody wants to be the target of invective from Jeffs wacky collection of characters, including Tiny Jeff, who is an infomercial spawn of the comedian himself. The wrestling chase scene between the two of them is so realistic that I understand why Jeff himself gets grazed and banged up on the floor.

But its Peanut, the purple insult prince, and Achmed the Dead Terrorist who generate the most laughter, particularly with the question cards for Achmed from the audience. I will never know if Jeff walked into the trap from Phil McCracken or if he is the best actor at feigned surprise in the business.

Thats his charm. He or should I say his puppets? can say anything and do. Be it rude, vicious, comedic or vulgar, the jokes come at staccato speed, and your stomach is in pain from the laughter. Its a minefield of political sarcasm and religious risks that has audiences in hysterical delight while he softens the blows with intimate family photos that also get a lashing.

The figures, or the little people in the boxes, as he calls them, are the stars of the show to the point where the talented master manipulator behind them is almost overshadowed in the effortless back-and-forth alternating accents and body movements.

As Rock prepares for the release of Top Five, a bittersweet film comedy in which he does triple duty as director, screenwriter, and star.

Whats killing comedy. Whats saving America.

The last time Frank Rich had a conversation with Chris Rock was in early 1996, when they and the 1950s teen heartthrob Pat Boone were thrown together in a New York television studio as panelists on Bill Mahers old show Politically Incorrect. This time they had two conversations in a New York hotel lounge as Rock prepared for the release of Top Five, a bittersweet film comedy in which he does triple duty as director, screenwriter, and star.

Weve just come through an election that was a triumph for Fox News and a fiasco for Obama. What do you make of it?

Jon Stewart has said the reason Fox News works better than CNN is because the people at Fox News figured out how to make themselves into victims.

So will it now be harder for Republicans to play victims?

They have no problem playing victims.

Even in victory?

Even in victory. Americanot black America, but America as a wholestarted in England and was ruled by kings and queens and had a class system. Im almost of the mind that thats what America wants at the end of the day. Maybe America wants monopolies.

They always seem to want a Bush or a Clinton.
