Virgina Apologizes for Role in Slavery
Posted in PC Police on February 25, 2007 |
The General Assembly for the Commonwealth of Virginia have been infected with some type Politically Correct virus.

Posted in PC Police on June 19, 2005 |
The August premiere of the cinematic revival of the TV series The Dukes of Hazard has brought out the PC police.

I think I’ll stop using drive-throughs as my own personal protest against this nonsense. The local pizzeria or fast-food drive-through might fill your order, but it is increasingly likely they won’t take your call. More and more pizza restaurants — including two chains in the Washington area — are relying on operators at call centers [...]

But apparently they have barged their way thru the “wax room,” made their way to the CEO’s office and held him at gun point. End result: MultiCultural crayons.

Here are a couple reasons given by Frank Furedi, Professor of Sociology at the University of Kent, in his book Where Have All the Intellectuals Gone? Last year an official report on public libraries declared that “New libraries should include cafes and chill-out zones where young people can watch MTV, read magazines and listen to [...]
Has Political Correctness Invaded The Abu Ghraib Investigation?
Posted in PC Police on June 1, 2004 |
“Take it like a man”, an editorial by Jack Wheeler of the Washington Times touches more than a few politicaly correct nerves. Wheeler makes the case that Army Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinsk, officer in charge of Abu Ghraib and all U.S. military prisons in Iraq, has escaped punishment thus far because of gender. During my [...]
