Roman Around

This isn’t exactly new.

It’s been floating around the internet for some time now. Some attribute its origins to a “definition of contemporary terms” contest held at Texas AM a couple of years ago. Others say it is older than that.

Personally, I don’t care how “old” it is; I still find it incredibly funny and most appropriate.

I was reminded of it while listening to Dr. Laura’s radio program on Wednesday. Someone sent this in to the show, via e-mail. Much to her credit, she read it on the air.

It’s worth repeating.

And for those of you who haven’t heard it before, be sure to read it more than once.

So then, what is the definition of “political correctness?”

Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Metaphor Maximus.
