This has been around a while but has been updated for 2010. It is still an amazingly clear demanstration.

Definition of Political Correctness
Texas A & M has an annual contest for the best definition of a contemporary expression. This year it was "political correctness." And here's the winner:
"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."

New Hampshire
The state motto is "Live Free or Die", which appears on license plates made by prisoners. --Jon Stewart on The Daily Show
This person can vote!
Crystal Villareal, a senior at the University of GA majoring in magazines and women's studies, has written a column for the Red and Black. Here is an excerpt:
Many corporations are firing American workers to cut production costs. They then charge American consumers more money than what it took to produce their products.
This level of inanity exceeded even what I thought possible. God Bless government education.

Voluntary Tax
Georgia is one of the states that has a voluntary tax paid mostly by the lower economic strata which is used to finance the education of the middle and upper classes. This is also known as the lottery. Here is a simulator that will show you how difficult it is to win.

Books I have read in the past couple of weeks
Fly Boys - James Bradley
Bradley is the author of Flags of Our Fathers which he wrote after learning his father was one of the original erectors of the flag on Iwo Jima.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - Steig Laarson. This is an entertaining novel that took a bit to get into but was well worth it.
The Professional - Robert Parker. Another entertaining novel featuring Spenser, the PI from Boston. This series was made into a series on TV a while back starring Robert Urich. This was my airplane book on the flight back from San Francisco.
The Colonel - Patrick A. Davis. Another novel in the thriller genre. No redeeming moral qualities, just idle entertainment.

Great Quote
Newt Gingrich made the statement that the American people will decide between the Food Stamp Party and the Paycheck Party. The Democrat plan for the recovery is when you lose your job they will give you food stamps!

The Lost Fingers
A new group I discovered listening to FM 88.1 out of Chattanooga, a public radio station run by UTC. This is their take on an AC / DC song from the 80's from the album Lost In the 80's
