The Minnesota Senate on Monday approved John Hoffman's (D-MN) bill to change the name "Asian carp" so called because the species originates from Asia, to "invasive carp".

Since Asian carp were introduced in the U.S. in the 1970's, the fish have spread to dozens of states causing destruction in the delicate ecosystems of the waterways.

Thant's not the dolt who said some island in the Pacific was going to flip over if too many people went to one side or something, is it?

According to my personal library collected over a few decades, liberals have long been stupid.

Hey Hoffman! Since you are from MN, are you snorting ludefisk again?

I demand you contact Asiana airlines about their hurtful name.

It was a double slur against Asians. Asian...obviously a slur suggesting Asians are invaders, carp....a nasty name for a fish suggesting Asian fish are whiners unlike other non-Asian fish who don’t carp about things.

“What will we do about German shepherds and Mongolian bbq?”

That has already happened to one breed of dog. There used to be a species named, ‘Shetland Collie’. The owners of ‘Collies’ complained to the AKC that “Shetland Collies’ were not really ‘Collies’. The AKC changed the name to ‘Shetland Sheep Dog’.

Calling a fried pork cutlet a Wiener Schnitzel is offensive to all people from Vienna.

Calling deep fat fried strips of potatoes “French fries” is offensive to the French.

Calling New Mexico, New Mexico, is offensive to Old Mexico.

I know about Old Mexico, Old Hampshire, Old York and Old Jersey, but where the hell was Old Zealand?

I’m trying to decide whether the Senator is worth the effort of being laughed out of the room?

I read that book to my kid...once.......ONCE!

Then I immediately burned it.

The whole purpose of that garbage book was to brainwash children into loving socialism.

Should “Polish Sausage” offend me?

Are actual Asians complaining?

And what’s all this I keep hearing about Legalizing Youth in Asia?

I mean don’t they already have youth there, why should they be illegal?

Hey, the federal gummint called me an "American citizen" once and it sure offended me.
