I have an old friend, Brian, who on occasion passes along a little gem that is too good to not share. One of them, most recently, struck me as especially poignant given that we are marching headlong into a presidential election year. This years election is historic for more reasons than you shake a stick at and as each side trots out their ideology, shtick and double talk, this little gem from Texas A & M seemed most appropriate.
The following is the 2007 winning entry from an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term. This year's term: Political Correctness Definition: ‘Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous liberal mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.' |
