A buudy sent me this. I just had to pass it along.

Every now and then an enlightened individual will so gently describe a controversial term that it deserves to be enshrined in writing. This is one of those times.

The following is the winning entry in an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a ontemporary term:  This year's term was "Political Correctness".

The winner wrote:

"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."
