Why GA$ Hates Us So Much!

After reviewing these pictures of an Austrian prison, I think you'll agree that GA$ is looked upon, by his countrymen, as a slumlord. He, then, takes it out on Correctional Officers who have no say in the design and maintenance of California's Prisons. Typical bureaucratic mentality.

Political Correctness defined.

The following is the 2007 winning entry from an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.

This year's term: Political Correctness.

"Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal 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."
