A reader sent us a newspaper ad in Maine that opposes a same-day voter registration proposal on the grounds that gays are for it. We looked into it, and you’ll never guess who is behind the ad.
Reacting to the latest in the Herman Cain melodrama today, Rush Limbaugh lamented that political correctness ‘has now spread to behavior — not just speech.”
I think that’s probably awesome enough to speak for itself. But this is just a very funny thing to say. The issue with ‘political correctness’, to the extent it’s reasonable, and I think some of it is, is that speech is a protected thing in our society. So there’s a necessary tension necessarily at play. But I think we’ve always been pretty down with the idea that you can’t just take any action you want, right? I don’t like you. So I bonk you on the head. But don’t come at me with your anti-bonking ‘political correctness’! Trying to control who I am, man!
