Every level in kids hockey is offensive then. Can’t have midgets, pee wees, bantams. Call them small, smaller, and smallest stature leagues.

My first car at 16 was an MG Midget. Yeah, I just thought my dad wanted me to be cool. But he probably and correctly thought no one ever could physically conceive in one.

Text correction...

The mental midgets at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued a regulation on Thursday to stop referring to midget raisins as “midget” after an activist group called the term offensive.

In related news, raisins will still be allowed to change into raisinets but Obama will now pay for the surgery.

Good one, JJ!

I’m happy to see that the government moved in swiftly to correct this urgent crisis. When will the move in to stop illegal immigration, the entitlement crisis, a debt higher than the Gross Domestic Product, and declining morale in the military?

You may need to get new cook books to keep up with the new Politically Correct terminology for food. Hopefully the offended raisons will accept the agricultural community’s heartfelt apology.

They should Trumperize those complainers, and tell them we don’t have any more time to be politically correct.

And by the way.....Dems suck for starting this BS!
