PC - Political correctnessPolitical correctness (also politically correct, P.C. or PC) is a term used in various countries to describe real or perceived attempts to impose limits on language, terms, and viewpoints in public discussion in order to avoid potentially offensive terminology. While it usually refers to a linguistic phenomenon, it is sometimes extended to cover political ideology or public behaviour.
In several English-speaking nations, the term often has a pejorative or ironic meaning—typically connoting an excessive attempt by social or political liberals to alter language and culture. It is also sometimes used to describe attempts to respect marginalized groups (e.g., the Canadian Oxford Dictionary (Oxford University Press Canada 2001) defines political correctness as "the avoidance of forms of expression or action that exclude, marginalize, or insult certain racial or cultural groups" ).
According to predominantly conservative critics of what they call the "political correctness movement," PC involves censorship and social engineering, and has influenced popular culture, such as music, film, literature, arts and advertising.
Liberal and progressive commentators, however, argue that the term "political correctness" was hijacked by United States conservatives around 1980 and redefined as a way to reframe the political scene in the United States. They say that there never was a "Political Correctness movement" in the United States, and that many who use the term are attempting to distract attention from substantive debates over discrimination and unequal treatment based on race, class, and gender (Messer-Davidow 1993, 1994; Schultz 1993; Lauter 1995; Scatamburlo 1998).

The term PC is frequently used in a manner that implies, first, that there are a significant number of people who make conscious political choice of the words they employ in their speech and writing, with the intention of influencing broader usage and, through that, social outcomes; second, that this group is roughly equivalent to the political left, or some large sector of the left; third, that these conscious political choices of words constitute a single phenomenon, designated as "political correctness"; and fourth, that these usages are enforced in a manner that is repressive to freedom of speech.
Some people whose language choices and/or politics are so characterised argue, in turn, that the term "political correctness" is part of larger attack on social equality or policial progressivism (Messer-Davidow 1993, 1994). They argue that expressing an opinion about, or making a public argument about, the use of language cannot in itself constitute intolerance or censorship.
Those who use the term in a derogatory fashion often express a concern about the potential dilution of speech and the failure to articulate important societal problems. They argue that the political criticism of diction may inhibit freedom of speech, particularly the expression of opinions that risk offending some group. It is often suggested that politically correct speech constitutes an excessive indulgence of some particular minority group, and that it is used to avoid acknowledging any misconduct or shortcomings of individuals belonging to such a group.
Having been used in Marxist-Leninist vocabulary to describe the Party Line following the Russian Revolution of 1917, the term was transformed and used jokingly within the left by the early 1980s, possibly earlier. In this context, the phrase was applied to either an over-commitment to various left-wing political causes, especially within Marxism or the feminist movement; or to a tendency by some of those dedicated to these causes to be more concerned with rhetoric and vocabulary than with substance.
The term again became popular in the early 1990s as part of a conservative challenge to curriculum and teaching methods on college campuses in the United States (D'Souza 1991; Berman 1992; Schultz 1993; Messer Davidow 1993, 1994; Scatamburlo 1998). Conservatives picked up and once again transformed the notion of political correctness to claim that a left-wing movement based in liberal academic circles was attempting to create a new doctrinaire political orthodoxy through social engineering which included changing words and phrases that some groups found offensive.
Use of the term then declined in the late 1990s, and it is now mostly seen in comedy or as a political slur with questionable meaning. More recently, the term has been reclaimed by a tiny subset of multiculturalist writers and speakers who reject (or are oblivious to) its controversial connotations and origins. In a bit of tit-for-tat inversion, it is also occasionally employed by leftists to deride what they regard as clichéd or disingenuous conservative themes such as "family values," "compassionate conservatism" or "God and country".
The states, rather than the People, for whose sakes the States exist, are frequently the objects which attract and arrest our principal attention [...]. Sentiments and expressions of this inaccurate kind prevail in our common, even in our convivial, language. Is a toast asked? 'The United States,' instead of the 'People of the United States,' is the toast given. This is not politically correct.
The first recorded use in the twentieth century was in 1912 in Chapter 1 of Senator Robert La Follette's autobiography. Speaking of his education at the University of Wisconsin, he says:
In those days we did not so much get correct political and economic views, for there was then little teaching of sociology or political economy worthy the name, but what we somehow did get, and largely from [John] Bascom, was a proper attitude toward public affairs. And when all is said, this attitude is more important than any definite views a man may hold.
Again, this clearly refers to what, in the speaker's own opinion, are incorrect political views, as opposed to the current usage of "politically incorrect".
Another example of the same literal use of the term is from a passage of H. V. Morton's In the Steps of St. Paul (1936):
To use such words would have been equivalent to calling his audience 'slaves and robbers'. But Galatians, a term that was politically correct, embraced everyone under Roman rule, from the aristocrat in Antioch to the little slave girl in Iconium.
Two common examples of this practice are to use the word disabled in preference to crippled, and mentally ill in preference to crazy.
However, critics of political language choice argue the new terms are often awkward, euphemistic substitutes for the original stark language concerning differences such as race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion and political views.
Proponents argue that the goal of changing language and terminology consists of these four points:
1.Certain people have their rights, opportunities, or freedoms restricted due to their categorization as members of a group with a derogatory stereotype.
2.This categorization is largely implicit and unconscious, and is facilitated by the easy availability of labeling terminology.
3.By making the labeling terminology problematic people will be made to think consciously about how they describe someone.
4.Once labeling is a conscious activity, the individual merits of a person, rather than their perceived membership of a group, will become more apparent.
In linguistics, the strong form of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis holds that a language's grammatical categories control its speakers' possible thoughts. While few support the hypothesis in its strong form, many linguists accept a more moderate version, namely that the ways in which we see the world may be influenced by the kind of language we use. In its strong form, the hypothesis states that, for example, "sexist language" promotes sexist thought.
The situation is complicated by the fact that members of identity groups sometime embrace terms that others seek to change. For example, deaf culture has always considered the label "deaf" as an affirming statement of group membership and not insulting or disparaging in any way. The term now often substituted for the term "deaf", hearing-impaired, was developed to include people with hearing loss due to aging, accidents, and other causes. While more accurate for those uses, the term "hearing-impaired" is considered highly derogatory by many deaf people.
Some on the political left reject the conservative definition of the term when applied as a blanket political epithet to all liberals and leftists, but do concede there is indeed a pervasive political correctness which has become a problem on the left. They argue the emphasis on the left has shifted in recent years away from traditional left concerns of social class, socialism, labour unions, ecology, ending racial discrimination, and related issues, and has instead turned toward such things as postmodernism, post-structuralism, multiculturalism, academic theories of structural or institutionalised oppression such as white privilege and heterosexism, all of which are seen as either antithetical to the traditional left emphasis on the working class, divisive, exclusionary toward the white working class, or incomprehensible to most of the general public outside of certain sectors of mainstream academia.
Newspeak is Orwell's best-known criticism of political obfuscation, but not his only one. In the essay "Politics and the English Language", Orwell found fault with writers who conceal meaning in long and pompous phrases. In a well-known example, he "translated" a passage from Ecclesiastes to "modern English", turning "I returned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all" into the obfuscated "Objective considerations of contemporary phenomena compel the conclusion that success or failure in competitive activities exhibits no tendency to be commensurate with innate capacity, but that a considerable element of the unpredictable must invariably be taken into account.
Politically Correct Fairy Tales, by John Hawkins, consists of very brief satires. In Hawkins' version, Hansel and Gretel are not evil. They make the ultimate sacrifice:
Hansel and Gretel were lost in the woods when they came upon a house made of candy and cake. An old witch invited them in and then captured both of them intending to eat them. Gretel had a chance save both of them by pushing the old woman in an oven but she decided that it would be wrong not to respect the witch's cultural traditions. So Gretel and her brother allowed themselves to be cooked and eaten. The witch was so happy with the children's actions that she invited all of her witch friends to the area. Soon thereafter, they ate every child in a hundred mile radius. Soon the whole area was filled with nothing but child eating witches and all the witches were very happy!
The practice of satirizing politically correct speech took on a life of its own in the 1990s, though its popularity in today's media has largely declined. Part of what it is to understand the meaning of political language modification is to be familiar with satirical portrayals of political correctness. Such portrayals are generally exaggerations of what actual language modification looks like. For example, in a satirical example of political correctness speech, the sentence "The fireman put a ladder up against the tree, climbed it, and rescued the cat" might look like this:
The firefighter (who happened to be male, but could just as easily have been female) abridged the rights of the cat to determine for itself where it wanted to walk, climb, or rest, and inflicted his own value judgments in determining that it needed to be 'rescued' from its chosen perch. In callous disregard for the well-being of the environment and his and others health and safety, and this one tree in particular, he thrust the mobility-disadvantaged unfriendly means of ascent known as a 'ladder' carelessly up against the tree, marring its bark, and unfeelingly climbed it, unconcerned how his display of physical prowess might injure the self-esteem of those differently-abled. He kidnapped and unjustly restrained the innocent feline with the intention of returning it to the person who claimed to 'own' the naturally free animal. The firefighter later filed a lawsuit claiming compensation for unjustly suffering the undignity which happened to breach his Human Rights and exposure to possible injury that climbing a tree entails. He won 100% compensation, thus making tree climbing impossible forever. The council later cut the tree down to avoid such an incident occurring again.
The term server is increasingly used for a person of either gender who waits tables (also "waitron").
Chairman was replaced by chair, chairperson (or president or some other term). (The term chair has its own history within academia.)
Fireman was replaced by fire fighter.
Congressman was replaced by member of congress. The former remains in use for male members of congress, however.
Policeman became policewoman when referring to females; then the term police officer was introduced for both genders.
Likewise, Army wife, Navy wife, etc., are now Army spouse, etc. (Occasionally male civilian spouses of military members will ironically refer to themselves as Navy wives, etc.)
"To boldly go where no man has gone before", from the introductory sequence of Star Trek: The Original Series, was changed to "To boldly go where no one has gone before" in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
It is worth noting that, in the context of this quote, "one" suffers from the inconsistency of seeming not to include all intelligent aliens and Americand continue to have a poor grasp of sentence construction...
"Man does not live by bread alone" became "People do not live on bread alone" in the 1996 NIV Inclusive Language Edition of the Bible, Matthew 4:4.
Airlines no longer use the term stewardess (nor steward for men), partly due to disparaging stereotypes and the condescending nickname stews. Thus they have replaced it with the gender-neutral term flight attendant.
As is the case within nursing, male members of the profession, who are the minority, are typically referred to by their gender (e.g. male flight attendant as opposed to flight attendant for females. Other forms of these "gender modifiers" include "female doctor" or "woman judge". This most often occurs in professional occupations, where the professional "norm" was historically a man.)
The word sex has largely been replaced with the word gender, though gender classically did not mean male/female, but rather it referred to grammatical masculine/feminine constructs ("steward" vs. "stewardess", or "actor" vs. "actress", for example). The word sex seems to have become an impolite or emotion-charged term, at least in part because it is prevailing verbal shorthand for sexuality and sexual intercourse.
Lacking a gender-neutral alternative, many actresses now prefer the term "actor" when defining their profession, thus hoping to render the term gender-neutral through common usage.
Naturally, if casting agents followed suit ("Actor Needed"), chaos would ensue as all actresses would be turned away from auditions wherein the part in question called for a male. The idea of using the terms "male actor" for men and "female actor" for women - using two words for an expression when previously one word was perfect - highlights the drawbacks of employing such a term. Many feel that to be forced to qualify a term perceived as gender-neutral with a gender-specific term as "male" or "female" is regressive. To date, no one has effectively mounted a campaign to encourage AMPAS to employ only truly gender-neutral Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor honors, as this would cut in half any actor's chances of receiving an Oscar.
TIME Magazine's Man of the Year became Person of the Year regardless of which gender wins it (there had been "Women of the Year" in the past).
The phrase "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me", attributed to Jesus, is frequently changed to "Whatsoever you do to the least of my people, that you do unto me."
Miss and Mrs. have been supplemented by Ms., providing a word that does not indicate marital status. The term was ridiculed by many when it was first introduced in the 1970s, but over time it has become common usage.
The 1960s-1970s TV show The Dating Game needed terms for unmarried contestants; bachelor was obvious, but the feminine "equivalent" was the negatively-charged term "spinster", which was only slightly more polite than "old maid"; so the show either coined or popularized the term bachelorette, which has since come into common usage.
The time-honored "I now pronounce you man and wife" at weddings has largely been replaced by "I now pronounce you husband and wife".
Some etymologists find this amusing, as "wife" is Old English for "woman", while "husband" is Old English for "householder"; the original expression was meant to define a moment when both members of a couple officially and legally became equally committed to adulthood.
Generalized uses of man when referring to humanity (mankind) are frequently replaced by gender-neutral terms.
A cripple became an invalid, and proceeded through a long sequence of euphemisms, including disabled, handicapped, then disabled again, people with disabilities, differently abled, and physically challenged. In 1991, the National Cristina Foundation offered $50,000 to the person who came up with the most empowering term for people with disabilities.
The winning entry was "people with differing abilities," and is seldom used by researchers, the disabled, or their care providers. Another entry in that contest was "severely euphemized."
Backward, imbecile, moron, and idiot became mentally retarded, which in turn became slow, then mentally handicapped, to mentally disabled, on to mentally challenged, and now developmentally disabled. Modern terms used by health and social care professionals include special needs and learning difficulties, although both of those terms are more general than mentally retarded. This has leaked over into tainting the phrase idiot savant so that the word savant can no longer be used to mean someone profoundly knowledgeable, as it still is in French.
Impotence has become Erectile dysfunction.
Many terms that were once considered acceptable, even in the medical profession, are now considered out-of-date and offensive. These include spastic for a person with cerebral palsy and mongolism (sometimes mongolian idiocy) for Down Syndrome.
Some argue that an unintended consequence of the euphemisms for "crippled", a term which merely describes a physical condition, is that the euphemisms contain a message that subliminally tells the persons so-labeled that they should feel resigned to their fate. Famous Baseball team owner Bill Veeck, who had lost a leg due to an injury incurred during World War II, took notable exception to that viewpoint, writing the following in the last chapter of his 1962 autobiography, Veeck - As in Wreck, titled "I'm not handicapped; I'm crippled":
A cripple cannot coddle himself. Once you coddle yourself, you're admitting you can't do what anybody else can do, and then you're through... You will notice I always use the term 'cripple'. It isn't a word you normally hear, is it? It has become customary, in our euphemistic world, to describe us cripples as 'handicapped'... Webster defines 'handicapped' as 'to place at a disadvantage'. I don't believe I am. I believe I can do anything that anybody else can do that doesn't involve quick sprints, high jumps and a fast buck-and-wing. And so, although I am crippled, I am not handicapped.
In more recent times, Christopher Reeve very publicly adopted a similar attitude, and became a hero to many other paralysis victims, much to the chagrin of what could be called the "physically challenged establishment", some of whom criticized him for characterizing his condition as something that needed to be cured, rather than resigning himself to it. In contrast, it was said of the tireless lobbyist Reeve that, "The man who cannot move has not stopped moving."
The National Federation of the Blind has passed a resolution condemning the use of politically correct terms to describe blindness. Similarly, many autistics condemn the phrase "person with autism" because it separates their personhood from their autism, something those in the autistic culture refuse to accept, as they regard autism to be an integral and wonderful component of themselves. Those in deaf culture similary dislike such phraseology. As a result, a major and commonly raised objection to such terms is that they go against the very wishes of those at whom they are targeted.
In 2003 the United Kingdom's Teacher Training Agency advised trainees to use the term "thought shower" instead of "brainstorm" to avoid offending epileptics. The Daily Telegraph was unable to find anyone in the epileptic community that objected to the word "brainstorm." However, the situation has been clarified by the British Epilepsy Association on the website Epilepsy Action, making the point that when referring to the experience of people with epilepsy, the term brainstorm may offend, whereas using the term brainstorm to refer to a training-room activity is inoffensive.
Race and ethnic-related
In the United States over the course of one hundred years, blacks became Negroes, then became blacks again, then became Afro-Americans, then became African-Americans (the current term, although the term "black" is still often used). In the meantime, the term "colored" came into and went out of use, while the related term "people of color" came into use later on. The term "people of color" refers, in addition to African Americans, to any non-white people. Since at the moment, "black" has a potential connotation of disparagement, we often see the safer term, "African American," used, even when nationality could not be known (many of Indian ancestry are as dark as a typical African-American).
Eskimo, a word that has long been viewed as pejorative by some groups of the people it refers to, has increasingly been replaced by their own names for themselves, namely Inuit, Yupik, and Aleut. (Compare Gypsy, Lapp and Hottentot, which have all been widely replaced by self-designations.)
In the USA, Oriental(s), a word that simply means "Eastern(s)", but is sometimes seen as pejorative to the people it refers to. Distinction is now emphasised on more specifics, such as Asian-American, Chinese-American, Korean-American, Japanese-American, etc., or the country of origin such as Japanese, Chinese, Indonesian, etc. Japanese-American itself is being replaced by the recently-coined term AJA (Americans of Japanese Ancestry).
People from India are clearly also Asian, but the term "Asian" in North American and Australian usage generally means East Asian people, and not Indians, Pakistanis, etc. In British usage, the term "Asian" refers to people of Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Sri Lankan origins.
Hispanic, which was previously the politically correct term, has largely been replaced by Latino or, in some cases, Chicano.
Indians became Native Americans or Indigenous People in the United States (see Native American name controversy). American Indians and Amerindians are also gaining popularity. Similarly, they became known in Canada as First Nations or aboriginal peoples. (One might contend, however, that using the term Native Americans is more geographically correct than Indians; the original error owed itself to the fact that Columbus thought he was in India.) The term could still be used correctly as the Region around the Carribbean Sea, and by extension, the New World, is known as the West Indies.
In Australia the word "aborigine" is less commonly heard, although the word is not taboo. Instead a member of Australia's indigenous population might be referred as "an aboriginal person", or by the particular nation s/he belongs to (e.g.: Koorie or Githabul) in order to highlight the nation's own uniqueness. Recently the ethnically Melanesian indigenous population of the islands in the Torres Strait between Australia and Papua New Guinea, who are indigenous to Australia but are have been categorised separately as "Torres Strait Islanders".
A major outcry, not just from the school, but much more notably from the Seminole tribe itself, resulted in the NCAA rescinding the rule's application to FSU. One editorial piece cited on that web page had this to say:
In its rush to condemn Florida State University for cultural insensitivity, the NCAA steamrolled over the opinions of people who should have mattered most — actual Seminoles. The NCAA ignored the expressed endorsement of the Seminole Tribe of Florida when it deemed FSU's nickname 'hostile or abusive' and banned it from the post-season. The tribe's decision was brushed aside, as if real-life Seminoles were too stupid to know what to do with their own history and tradition.
Gregorian calendar-related terminology is being altered from Anno Domini (Latin: In the year of [the] Lord) and Before Christ to the Christian-neutral Common Era terminology (CE/BCE).
People with religious beliefs are often (in the USA) referred to euphemistically as "people of faith", by analogy to "people of color".
In 1998, Birmingham City Council decided to brand a series of entertainments over the Christmas and New Year period Winterval, which opponents claimed to be an attempt to remove the name 'Christmas' (the council denied this interpretation).
In a 2003 PETsMART television ad, a mid-aged couple is shown with their dog sitting under a Christmas tree, with several Christmas presents under it. The woman then notes, "This is our dog's first holiday." Although the couple would most likely be celebrating Christmas, the word is omitted.
In 2004, Federated Department Stores (which includes Macy's) banned their employees from saying "Merry Christmas" to customers.A small organization, the Committee to Save Merry Christmas, boycotted Federated Department Stores for their ban on mentioning the holiday.
While Macy's names their November parade the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, the Christmas season parade (formerly Macy's Christmas Parade to 1991) has been genericized to the Macy's Holiday Parade.
The debate of political correctness during the Christmas season has become so intense that websites are surfacing to oppose holiday celebrations which do not mention or focus on Christmas. These organizations include, but are not limited to, The Grinch List, V-DARE.com's War Against Christmas (since 2000), and The Committee to Save Merry Christmas.
In 2002, Toronto city workers referred to the city's Christmas tree as a "holiday tree" resulting in a controversy that political correctness had been taken too far. Said Barry Levy, an Orthodox Jewish Rabbi and the head of religious studies at Montreal's McGill University, "That object is identified as a Christmas tree - it's not a Hannukah bush, it's not a winter tree, it's not a festival tree - it's a Christmas tree - we all know it for what it is. Quite frankly I'm offended on behalf of Christians for whom it's a symbol of some importance - that they should have a religious symbol converted into a secular one just in order to accommodate it into public display."
On 27 November 2005, Boston's city Christmas Tree was renamed the 'holiday tree' in the name of political correctness. This caused much controversy, including comments from the annual Nova Scotian tree donor, who said "if they're going to call it a 'holiday tree', they might as well put it up at Easter". The tree was re-instated as "Christmas Tree" on 28 November.
Since 1998, the Capitol's Christmas Tree was called the Capitol 'holiday Tree', and was renamed on 30 November 2005 to the Capitol Christmas Tree. Officials apologized that the website could not be updated to include Christmas for the 2005 season, but would be in 2006.
The Committee to Save Merry Christmas, active once again in 2005, opted to boycott Sears & Roebuck, Inc. due to their non-use of Christmas terminology. Also, they succeeded in convincing Federated Department Stores (Macy*s) to re-instate "Merry Christmas", and other Christmas terminology in their advertising, which was acknowledged by a Federated associate. Recently, the Sears Corporation (including K-Mart) removed "holiday" references and replaced them with "Christmas" on 2 December 2005.
Target, Inc.'s decision to ban the Salvation Army once again in for the 2005 Christmas season, as well as ban the use of the word Christmas in both their store locations and advertising, resulted in an attempted boycott of the corporation through the Thanksgiving holiday weekend (24 November - 27 November 2005) by the American Family Association, and the Committee to Save Merry Christmas. Target sales were down 7% over the weekend.
Lambeth Council in London banned "Christmas lights" in December 2005 in favour of "winter lights" and, bizarrely, "Celebrity Lights". This prompted outrage by many citizens, who felt that in a Christian country (the UK has an established church), a Christian festival was being marginalised.
Transients, hobos, or bums became the homeless.
The elderly became senior citizens. Old person became older (or elderly) person. Satirical songwriter Stan Freberg sensed the P.C. winds in the 1950s, and one response was his new version of a Jerome Kern / Oscar Hammerstein II song, retitled Elderly Man River.
Alms, once it became a function of government, evolved into poor relief and then became welfare, which in turn morphed into public assistance.
Foreign students became international students.
The Department of Prisons became the Department of Corrections.
The War Department, together with the Navy Department became the Defense Department in 1947, implying that the United States does not initiate wars.
Civilian deaths became collateral damage (this might better be described as a euphemism).
Terrorist became militant then Terrorist again after 9/11. Insurgents is also used to describe these groups. Some IRA stalwarts such as Gerry Adams and Martin McGuiness became 'peace activists'
A fat person became a heavyset, large or a person of substance. Some of these replacements have fallen out of favour, replaced by overweight or obese. However, with the rise of body-positivity and 'fat-positivity,' the simple term 'fat' has been reclaimed. 'Overweight' and 'obese' have connotations of disorder, sickness or disease; fat-positive theory states that people are of all different sizes and size is never an absolute indication of health or wellness.
Juvenile delinquents became troubled youth or children at risk.
Affirmative action is used to describe preferences based on race, ethnicity and sex. Critics consider it to be a formalized quota system. It is now common for companies to refer themselves as an equal opportunity employer.
Illegal alien became illegal immigrant. More recently the term undocumented immigrant is used.
In 2005, in the United Kingdom, controversy arose when it emerged that a government Think Tank had suggested the term failure be replaced with the term Deferred Success to avoid offending those who did not achieve high marks in exams.
Attempts to ban the use of the term "Fairy Lights" has met with derision from many in the UK's gay community.
Foreigners became foreign nationals or non-nationals, terms now used frequently by the media. The term non-national is often criticised because a person, whether an immigrant or not, has to be a national of somewhere; calling them non-nationals seems to imply that they have no nationality.
Short people became vertically challenged whether they could stand as straight as the next person or not. This term is often used ironically.
People who cannot speak a common language clearly or fluently are linguistically challenged
Bald people became follicularly challenged
Geriatrics has become Care of the Elderly or Senior Care
"If all printers were determined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed." - Benjamin Franklin
Comedian Billy Connolly, in one of his performance videos (Live 1994), called Politically Correct "the language of cowardice."

ATLANTA | In the GOP runoff for state superintendent of schools, Richard Woods promises the biggest policy change.
His first order of business would be a top-to-bottom audit of the Department of Education.
A career educator from Tifton, who has been a social-studies teacher, an athletic coach, a principal and a local curriculum director, Woods claims an insider's perspective on public schools and an outsider's preference for reform.
ATLANTA | Voters impressed that Georgia is showing improvement in the SAT, ACT, Advanced Placement and reading, math and science scores on national tests may see Mike Buck as the candidate for state superintendent of schools to keep it going.
"One state in the country went up in all those measures. That state was Georgia, using those standards," he said in a recent candidate's forum.
ATLANTA | Rep. Alisha Thomas Morgan, D-Austell, believes her experience in the legislature will offer a distinct advantage in the role of state schools superintendent.
"First and foremost, if we're talking about how a state school superintendent can be effective and successful in their job, you cannot do it without having relationships in the legislature," Morgan said. "You have to know how the process works, who the players are, how to get things done."
ATLANTA | Valarie Wilson wants to change the path of Georgia's public-education system. Its current trajectory, with budget cuts and shortened school years, is doing little to benefit the state's students, she says.
A runoff election for a seat on the Oconee County Board of Commissioners features a long-time incumbent facing an opponent who once served 20 years on the commission.

In the nonpartisan runoff for the District 3 seat, longtime local activist and environmental journal editor Melissa Link will face political newcomer Rachel Watkins, a marketing professional. The nonpartisan contest will appear on both the Republican and Democratic primary ballots.
ATLANTA | Tapping into the widespread disapproval of Congress, David Perdue campaigns as a candidate from the outside with fresh ideas and perspective.
It makes a stark contrast between him and his GOP Senate runoff opponent Jack Kingston, a 22-year veteran of the House of Representatives from Savannah. Since Perdue spent his career in the executive suites of major corporations rather than politics, he's no stranger to the inner sanctums of power.
ATLANTA | Voters in the Republican Senate runoff who want an experienced hand who came up through the party ranks have that option in Jack Kingston.
His career is the life's dream of teenaged political junkies. The volunteering he and his wife were doing at a fundraiser as members of the Savannah Young Republicans led to the chance to meet one of his heroes, Ronald Reagan, then a former governor running for president.

Preclinical data suggest that the imidazo-diazepinone derivative bretazenil (Ro 16-6028) has anxiolytic and anticonvulsant properties with only weak sedative effects. We examined the influence of oral administration of 1 mg bretazenil on the sleep EEG and the concomitant nocturnal secretion of cortisol, growth hormone and prolactin in ten healthy young men. After bretazenil we found a significant increase in stage 2 sleep and a significant reduction in stage 3 sleep. REM latency was prolonged. Spectral analysis of sleep-EEG power revealed a decrease in delta and in theta power and an increase in sigma power. We found no significant influence on sleep onset latency or on intermittent wakefulness. Bretazenil prompted a significant decrease in cortisol secretion and a significant increase in prolactin release. It had no major influence on growth hormone secretion.

Riyadi players challenge Champville during the WABA league semifinals basketball game in Beirut, Lebanon, Tuesday, March 20, 2012. (The Daily Star/Hasan Shaaban)
BEIRUT: Riyadi earned a place in the WABA League final Tuesday after obliterating a woeful Champville 95-67 in Manara.
The win gives Riyadi the chance to defend their title in April when they meet Mahram in the final, a repeat of last season's Asian Champions Cup final that the Lebanese team won.
A good way to gauge how well Riyadi played is to see three-point specialist Omar Turk's contribution. If Riyadi play well and have the defense on its heels, Turk is afforded a slew of wide-open shots from beyond the arc; when the opposing defense is locked in, Turk isn't as lucky.
Turk top scored for Riyadi Tuesday with 23 points as he feasted in his team's lightening-quick breaks and Champville's poor defensive rotations.
Champville's talisman Fadi al-Khatib was a shadow of his usual self as he failed to score in the entire first half and scored his first field goal eight minutes into the third quarter before being unceremoniously benched for the rest of the game.
In fairness Champville had little to play for. The WABA league is a qualification tournament for the Asian Champions Cup. Lebanon are only allowed one representative at the Asian Champions Cup and because of Riyadi's status as holders and hosts of the next tournament – to be held in June in Manara – they are guaranteed a place at the expense of Champville.
Champville started without either of their American big men, Sam Hoskin and Harold Jamison, and it cost them early on as Ismael Ahmad had it all his own way against Champville's smaller front court, scoring 10 points in the first quarter.
Hoskin and Jamison were soon brought in with the scores at 10-6 but it made little difference as Riyadi broke out to three fast-break scores, making the scoreline 17-8.
Riyadi took the first quarter 23-12 and started off the second in blistering fashion, scoring five quick points through William Fares and Turk.
Jamison and Hoskin managed to muscle Champville back to within eight points before Jean Abdul-Nour and Turk hit wide-open 3-pointers to stop Champville's resurgence.
Ahmad's role turned to facilitator in the second quarter and Champville's perimeter disintegrated as Riyadi went into the half with a 46-27 lead.
The second half turned into farce as Riyadi completely overran Champville. A 12-0 run early in the third quarter put Riyadi 30 points up at 63-33.
The way Champville lay down starkly contrasted with the gutsy performances they put in last Sunday and a week ago in Game 2. One of the main reasons Champville were able to pick up two wins in the last week was their ability to not commit turnovers and stop Riyadi in transition. Tuesday they simply let Riyadi run riot on the fast break.
Riyadi closed the third quarter 75-39 before both sides put in their scrubs to finish a dead rubber of a fourth quarter.

A Vision of Gratitude
With the holidays sneaking up, now is an excellent time to acknowledge all of the things in your life that you appreciate. One thing I'm thankful for this year, is that I've noticed that the more appreciative I am of all that I have, the more good things come my way.
Showing appreciation for opportunities, helpful people, and positive things that come your way is how you acknowledge to the universe that you would like to receive more of these things. That's the "secret" behind the law of attraction (you attract to you what you think about most). This universal law has been around a long time (it was explained in the bestseller Think and Grow Rich, first published around the 1920s), and was introduced to a new generation through the phenomenal success of The Secret.
One way of showing appreciation is to create a gratitude vision board. Joyce Schwarz, author of the new Amazon spiritual bestseller The Vision Board, describes vision boards as "colorful canvases that serve as motivational life and career maps."
Personally, I'm grateful to Joyce for including my own vision board (page 50) in her beautiful new book, which is filled with colorful images by artists and others who use vision boards to help make their dreams come true. This beautiful small-sized hardback also features exercises and ideas for how to identify and develop your dreams. My favorite way of enjoying the book is to open it at random and read the pages I turn to. It's a wonderfully inspiring experience!
Schwarz dedicates an entire chapter of The Vision Board to gratitude, and how readers can use vision boards to express gratitude. Along with the beautiful boards, this chapter is filled with easy ideas for how to incorporate an attitude of gratitude into your daily life. From the timeless suggestion of counting your blessings every night before sleep, to reminiscing on seven wonders, whether it's seven wonderful experiences, seven wonderful people in your life, or seven ways you are making a difference in the world.
The Vision Board is filled with colorful works of art and ideas for how to create your ideal life through visioning. It would make a good holiday gift; or a gift to yourself to inspire you to be all you can be in the coming year.
For tips on how to get started with your vision board, tune-in to my podcast with Joyce Schwarz, at lisa.fm [1]. And, to find out more about other books that can help you live your best life, visit the Lisa.fm Book Club at lisafmbookclub.podomatic.com [2].

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
So before I leave you, I just wanted to share some helpful resources as you continue on with developing Starling-based games. Well there are some awesome resources just on the Starling framework site itself, so gamua.com/starling. And if you click on the Help button, you'll see first a First Steps guide, which is really good; your documentation reference, which of course you are going to want to have on hand; and there's a great Wiki, if we click on this, there's a whole bunch of tutorials, this is where you can also get information about extensions that are available.
So if I go to Tutorials & Code Snippets, there is a bunch of different tutorials both from Gamua and from the community itself. Now one of the best places if you are having difficulties or if you have questions is to go the Starling Forum. And this is an incredibly active forum, so you can either search, click on one of the tags, if there is a topic that you are looking for, let's say collision detection, and it's just a really nice active community. So I definitely recommend signing up here and you can learn a lot just by checking out the problems that other people have encountered and fixed.
Now another place is my tutorial site at gotoandlearn.com; obviously I have tutorials on a lot of different topics, but you can see I have various tutorials on Starling, like how to incorporate physics engines and particle effects and things like that. So definitely check that out. My evangelism colleague Hemanth Sharma also has a tutorial site that you can go to, and he has a whole sequence of Starling tutorials in addition to other nice game-related tutorials. But definitely the Starling web site itself, in this Help section, is the place to go and you'll find links off to a whole bunch of really helpful resources as you go about increasing your knowledge about the Starling framework.

Recent Article in the Clayton News Daily: Think you can host your own talk show? Bring it on. You'll have to buy the time and work with WIGO management to do it, of course, but you're more than welcome to give it a shot. WIGO — also known as "Atlanta's Incredible Radio", WIGO AM 1570 — wasn't always quite like this. With an FCC license for Morrow since the late 1950s, the station chugged along as a more conventional country-music station for most of its existence. Over the last decade, it's tried various formats, including Spanish and then gospel. It settled on its current format — a variety of gospel music, church programming, Blues & Classic R&B and talk — 3 years ago. "We've been fine-tuning it since then", Young says. The call letters WIGO are "classic call letters from Atlanta's past," according to General Manager Larry Young. At one time, WIGO-AM and WAOK-AM were the pre-eminent black stations in Atlanta. When those call letters became available a few years ago, the station management snapped them up. While this isn't exactly your father's WIGO — the original WIGO was at 1340 kHz and run by someone else — the call letters fit the station's current listener profile. Young says the station targets African-American females, ages 25-54, with about 60 percent of the listeners being female. Have an idea for a radio program? Give us a call. 404-361.1570

My lovely sister Mary, and her man, Jimmie get married today! Love to you both and many happy returns of the day!
Back when you were in diapers and wettin' the sheets, I was at Designs by Rosa painting trompe l'oeil. The trees continued up over the ceiling, and the corner of the little bungalow in the painting fit snugly into the corner of the wind trap; expanding a tiny space. These old photos don't do it justice, but if you look in the doorway on the left, you can see the second cat was on the stone path leading to the red steps.
Shopping carts and their contents were some of the first props I got to design for our pals in Dethklock. My favorite part is the Metal cereal box.
Rockso's balloon bass was one fo my favorite designs for Metalocalypse.
I kind of got my start in caricatures. My first job out of high school was drawing cartoon portraits for a long dead Six Flags in Houston called Astroworld. These few photos are the evidence thousands of caricatures I drew in the 20 century…Many many were terrible…a few sublime.

Raw Milk Advocates Petition Small Farmers
Feb 17, 2004 — Sales are strictly illegal in New York and many other states, but fans of raw milk believe un-pasteurized milk is more nutritious, and more delicious than commercial milk. Modern science doesn't support that, and the idea of milk going straight from the cow onto a bowl of cereal is unthinkable for most doctors and food safety officials. But advocates aren't convinced, and they're waging campaigns across the country to legalize distribution of raw milk. Now they're finding a new audience for their message: small farms looking for a niche in the global dairy market. The Great Lakes Radio Consortium's Peter Payette reports. Go to full article

Canton Kraft Plant to Close in June
by Jody Tosti
Jan 28, 2004 — After 50 years of making cheese in its Canton factory, Kraft Foods is closing its operations in June.

Earlier this week Kraft -- now a subsidiary of Philip Morris -- announced it would cut thousands of jobs at all levels of its organization over the next two years.

At Spring-Green, we don't just help you treat current grass diseases: we also provide preventative maintenance programs to help keep them from paying your lawn a second visit. We know that grass that looks healthy can still be susceptible, which is why regular examinations for lawn diseases are a standard part of many fertilization and weed control programs.
Grass diseases can come in many shapes and forms, but one thing is always consistent: trusted lawn care services from Spring-Green to help you regain control of your yard.
Red thread. Brown patch. Pythium blight. Believe it or not, these are all names for several different types of common lawn diseases. Here at Spring-Green, we've seen it all, and we know what to keep an eye out for when it comes to caring for your lawn.
From common lawn patch and ring diseases to snow mold, rust and more, please visit our FAQs for in-depth articles and information about a variety of different types of grass diseases.
Proactive maintenance is one of the best ways to prevent many lawn diseases from infiltrating your yard. Here are a few helpful tips for ways to increase resistance to lawn and grass disease:
When it comes to lawn diseases, you can trust Spring-Green's professional team to help get your yard back on the road to health. If you are benefiting from any one of our lawn fertilization and weed control programs, you should know that we regularly monitor your turf for signs of lawn and grass disease.
Treatment for grass diseases varies for each specific type. Red thread lawn disease, for example, may be treated with fungicide and checking for nutritional deficiencies in your lawn. Brown patch lawn disease, on the other hand (as one of the most damaging types of grass diseases), may require more extensive lawn repair.
Don't forget: if you're worried about lawn diseases in your yard, there's no time like the present to start a preventative maintenance program. Use a proper blend of fertilizers. Follow a consistent lawn care program. Practice core aeration to reduce thatch and help encourage deep rooting. Water deeply, and less often. And keep that lawn mower blade sharp and high! All of these things, taken as a whole, will not only give you a yard that's resistant to lawn diseases, but a yard that looks great too.
To learn more or set up a free evaluation, please contact your neighborhood Spring-Green lawn care service today!
