[1890 - Nellie Bly circles the globe in less than 80 days]
Not One Word
Ever since the Political Correctness Demon seized the US by the throat over a decade ago, our public discourse has suffered from the Tyranny of the Inoffensive. If you think about it, it is hardly possible to utter any sound without the possibility of offending someone.
