So rather than go into the troubles of General Petraeus or Jeff Gordon, here's another example of the Political Correctness of our Left-leaning social order.  Limited Brands, owner of Victoria's Secret, has had to issue a mea copa overnight for the outrageous display of a Native American Indian headdress on one of the runway models at their recent fashion show. 

OK.  Most everyone knows that under the "new rules", there is no gratuitous use of the any term, name, or cultural tradition of Native Americans.  (Unless you're a candidate for the Senate in the Bay State.  But I digress.)  Ask Florida State, Illinois or North Dakota.

Fortunately, for our Progressive Class, whose members seem to regulate political correctness in our media and societal calculus, there is virtually no insult unacceptable against Christianity in general, and Catholicism in particular.  Its almost an exercise of measuring a Christian's true forgiveness-factor by lobbing over a grenade of invective to see where it registers on the tolerance scale.

I grew up believing in guardian angels.  One of our family's few framed pictures in the farm house was this one that hung over the couch in the living room.   That was where Daddy would read the Sunday comics to Aunt Rosie and me after we got home from Mass.  That's a favorite childhood memory of mine.  (Sounds like a country song.  But again, I digress.)

Where was (is) the Political Correctness outrage over the decade-long Victoria's Secret campaign on Angels?  (It took me a while to find a suitable pic of models not in their underwear!)

My point is valid.  It just doesn't matter in a culture where sex sells everything...if it is designed to offend only the WASP's, Catholics and Jews.

On to the day's business.  Don't let triskaidekaphobia get in your way today.
