" Absolutely bloody ridiculous! "
I see that folks on your side of the pond are really trying hard to unseat us as the reigning world champs at PC insanity....
Sadly, I'm way, way, way beyond being surprised or shocked by such carryings-on.....
To quote a famous "Pogo" cartoon from my mis-spent youth: "We has met the enemy, and he is us!"
I also mis-spent my youth with Pogo - little knowing that he had it right on. Not so mis-spent after all, I guess.
