The Primary Contradiction re-blogs an essay that talks about how the term politically correct serves those in power to make like the victim. This has been said before, but sometimes it's not what you say, it's how you say it, and the opening is particularly well-crafted and will draw you in: the blogger explains why clichés should be avoided, gives some examples of blog clichés, and then attacks one particular term.
The essay is written by Kai Chang (Zuky), and Y. Carrington liked it so much she posted it at her blog with the author's permission. Comment threads exist at both sites.
Studiously avoiding clichés is Blogger on the Cast Iron Balcony, who writes posts with such titles as "The Stinky Camembert of Multiculturalism meets the Whiskas of Wimminism". This is about "Australia's living treasure" Michael Leunig and how he has "lost the plot". I don't want to spoil it for you, just visit the blog and read the takedown.
Still in the "takedown" category is Sherry Chandler, who has a nicely biting one on Dr. Eric Keroack, the new head of family planning programs at the Department of Health and Human Services.
Chandler points to another blogger writing about Keroack, who in turn links to further relevant blogging. It's a bit like a cascading row of dominoes.
To use a cliché.
Hat-tip to Hoyden About Town.
