Oh, and Matt, the author is 100% correct. Although this’ll be our 44th pres, it will be our 56th inauguration. (coupla’ guys served more than 1 term)

Your on the right track, mandra…., & the chances are you probably won’t get punched in the face by anyone since if any Eskimos are reading this, they’ll know we’re tryin’ to do the right thing. Here’s what mand…is talkin’ about: No links here but GOOGLE up “politically correct terms eskimo” & check out Steve Sailer’s article.

Hey hey hey…I’m not razzing Miss C for being politically incorrect, I’m rather anti-politically correct…but I’m also anti-being-punched-in-the-face-by-an-angry-Inuit.

Just offering an interesting tid-bit.

Wonderful post w/xlnt info. We commenters seem to be hung up on “political correctness”. This definition should help:
Definition of POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

“Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(this was the winning entry in the 2007 annual Texas A&M Universtity contest for best definition of a contemporary term.)

Miss C, your comments are ALWAYS appropriate. You’re as non-offensive as they come.

“Eskimo” means “eater of raw meat” and to my knowledge, yes, it is considered an insult to the Inuit nations.

more on that:
Indian is now “First Nations”
East Indian is now “South Asian”

and I don’t think it’s just Canada… unless mebbe we are more politically correct… after all, we let our gay people marry… I love tweaking you Murricans on that…

I didn’t vote for Obama, but from a history buff perspective I am psyched about this inaguration. When I read that the Tuskeegee airmen will be honored in such a way after so many years I actually got choked up. That is so awesome.

I think the author needs to recheck what number president the nation is on…….

Let’s see. The hoop skirts remind someone of salvery, but the infantry men do not? If you don’t want to be reminded of slavery it shouldn’t matter what’s jogging the memory. Craziness

My understanding is that the term eskimo is used in Alaska while inuit is used in the Canadian Territories.
