The CDC Is Now the Language Police
Commentary The other day, I was walking out of Penn Station in New York City and had to step over some homeless bums just to get to my taxi. Pardon me. I’m so very sorry. I simply cannot believe that I wrote that. It’s so offensive. Having now consulted the Centers for Disease Control and…
