Adams said that the housing section of the DOJ would not hold a picnic because the word picnic is offensive.

Supposedly, the word picnic derives from a quaint ole south'n acronym for pick an n-word to lynch for our entertainment as we consume our box lunches outdoors. The legend has been kicking around at least since 1999. Totally false, of course. The actual derivation of the word dates to 1692 and is derived from a French word meaning a group of diners who bring their own wine. But that's totally lost on the Obama / Holder Justice Department.

Some in our society can find offense in anything, common sense be damned. If I find great offense at something, I figure that I do not have a Constitutional right to be un-offended for the duration of my life. Go figure. If I am offended to the point that I have to say something to somebody, it pretty much ends with me expressing my opinion. The world does not have to bend to my sensitivities.
