VERY INCORRECT EVEN TO TO MENTION A MAJOR EVENT IN AMERICA'S HISTORY

Even jocularly

The Confederate Air Force, the largest private aviators' club in the world, and by some counts the third or fourth biggest 'air force' has been shot down by politically correctness. As this tour site comment says: "Although the CAF had to be re-named Commemorative Air Force to be 'politically correct' in America, to all warbird fans it remains the Confederate Air Force, and its superb air show is still the best air show of its type in the world - no one comes close!" The CAF's identification patch used to read "This is a CAF aviator. If found lost or unconscious, please hide him from Yankees, revive with mint julep and assist him in returning to friendly territory"


INCORRECT FISH

Fish fraud, back again: "Only eat what we tell you to eat. That's the edict from the misnamed Seafood Choices Alliance, a consortium of food agitators determined to steer the public away from fish they deem politically incorrect.

Frustrated with failed attempts to legislate a wide array of seafood delights off our plates, SCA is now passing out wallet-sized cards listing fish that it doesn't want you to eat. Though billed as an innocuous information campaign, this holier-than-thou coalition of food-scare professionals is really intent on dictating their food choices to the rest us. If they get their way, you'll never eat shrimp again. Or swordfish, Chilean Sea Bass, grouper, orange roughy, bluefin tuna ... and the list goes on. This isn't the first time the Seafood Choices Alliance has tried to pry Americans from their seafood choices."
