In view of the schoolyard bullying and mud-slinging antics of the candidates, I’ve started hearing about being “politically correct.”

I just couldn’t pass up posting the following blurb.  “Oh, ain’t it the truth.”

There's an annual contest at the Griffiths University, Australia, calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.

In this case, the term”political correctness”.

The winning student wrote:-

“Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end.”

And that came from an Aussie.  Is Donald Trump an Aussie?  Has anyone actually seen his birth certificate?
