The University of California's Insane Speech Police

Under the sterling leadership of Janet Napolitano, University of California Berkeley (birthplace of free speech protests) is banning more offensive words and phrases (like melting pot or henceforth the "MP" word).

Administrators of the UC system think referring to America as a ‘melting pot' is somehow offensive - and want teachers to stop using that and many other innocuous phrases.

Book burnings and prosecution of thoughtcrimes are in the short term planning cycle.

Fondue restaurants nationwide are unavailable for comment...

Why can't someone ban the word moist??

Why anyone would go through the trouble of melting pot is beyond me. It's a difficult process that requires an environment with a precise amount of pressure and temperature. To the best of my recollection, most people who use pot smoke it.

You may have stumbled onto something here Comrade. Privileged whites use cocaine in its powdered form, and blacks often smoke it in the form of crack, but who knew that pot had such racial disparity? It simply isn't fair. We need to make it possible for blacks to enjoy melting pot in the ghetto just as much as affluent whites who look down their noses at pot-smoking minorities. HEIL HILLARY!

I have given this much thought (since I'm supposed to be working) and while I still think moist should go just because its icky....melting pot needs to go also. Fondue is bourgeoisie and the closest many of us have come to it is maybe accidentally leaving a can of squeeze cheese in a warm car or if we got extra money and got velveeta mac and cheese instead of powdered. Those of us in the kollective get cheese the way the government intended. In bkocks. Ms/Mr Neapolitano is for the little people!

Perhaps the PC Stasi could ban Goose Stepping but fascists and communists seem to like doing that...

Janet clarifies her position on 'melting pot.'

So thats the delicate art of fondue making!

Don't forget:

niggard
1. (n) an excessively parsimonious, miserly, or stingy person.

"The Republican governor of California was a niggard, concerned only with balancing a budget shortfall of 40%."

2. (adj) miserly; stingy.

"The Republican governor of California was niggard, concerned only with balancing a budget shortfall of 40%."

3. (PC) racist

"The Republican governor of California was a niggard, concerned only with balancing a budget shortfall of 40%."

1325-75; Middle English nyggard, equivalent to nig (< Scandinavian; compare dialectal Swedish nygg; akin to Old English hnēaw stingy) + -ard

One rule of thumb (one may note that the term "rule of thumb" was one of the first victims of the PC Stasi for supposedly being first coined as the rule for sizing a stick to beat your wife. Now the word wife is under attack by the Kollege Kampi PC Stasi for being hurtful to Happy Komrades)…

But, to continue, One rule of thumb in Owebamaville, Soviet Socialist States of Amerika:

Melting pot bad. Smoking pot good.

Just last weekend I instructed my Undocumented Patriot wife to never use that word. If our racist government is going to force her to learn English, I'll at least see to it that she learns PROPER English.

One might note that they call that place Berzerkeley for a reason...

I cannot afford pot, and I kill plants. Making meth, nor my mental state are stable enough for a production of that type.My options are pretty much abusing drugs with cheap copays.And beet vodka, always beet vodka.

Down with melting pots, go pressure cookers!

Indeed, comrade mi. This is, of course, the aim of the propaganda arm or The Party™, aka the MSM.

Pressure cookers have a tendency to explode, from time to time, and this can only help The Party™ blame conservatives and patriots for the uncivilized nature of our politics and the resulting frustration felt by "disenfranchised" minorities.

Why melt everything into one when you can explode it into innumerable pieces?

Only in The Party™ can Unity™ be found.

All this talk about pot and Velveeta is making me . . . is making me . . . uh . . . what were we talking about? I've got the "munchies." Can I say "munchies" or is that - like - racist?
