It looks like George Bush isn’t the only person who’s been waging war against the English language. Here’s a stunning example of reverse political correctness (courtesy of Linkmeister) :

Scientists who study AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases are warned by federal health officials that their research may come under unusual scrutiny by Health and Human Services Department or members of Congress because topics are politically controversial…The scientists, who spoke on condition they not be identified, say they have been advised they can avoid unfavorable attention by keeping certain ”key words” out of their applications for grants from the National Institutes of Health or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those words include ‘’sex workers,” ”men who sleep with men,” ”anal sex” and ”needle exchange,” the scientists said.

So would Congress and HHS be more likely to approve the grants if the terms “sex workers” and “men who sleep with men” were replaced with “whores” and “fags”?
