Author Fun with Dick and Jane and words.

Continuing the political thread on political correctness, there is what
the GLM sees as those timid souls who prefer to call President George
Bush, "incurious" rather than idiot or moron. Then there is the habit of
replacing "classical liberal" with "progressive", because after all,
liberal is a dirty word anymore and classical just doesn't nearly
express the notion of moving forward. Finally, on the political front,
GLM takes issue with referring to "terrorists" in Iraq as "insurgents".
