Political Correctness and 'Newspeak' has become so common in our lives that this new example wouldn't be worth mentioning if it wasn't Flag Day, I reckon....

It appears that the National Archives have finally linked the 'Papers of the Founding Fathers' on line. 

In proudly announcing this fact (just like they had anything to do with it) the White House Blog announced it as:

"The Papers of the Founding Founders Are Now On Line"

Subtle - it ain't!!  Can't be giving credit to any fathers, after all.  

Apparently the Tweeters of the world arose and guffawed by the millions... so the WH Blog's title was renamed using the accurate 'Founding Fathers'....  it's URL however, continues to use Founding Fathers ... as in:
http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2013/06/13/papers-founding-founders-are-now-online
