Conservative Correctness

Contrary to popular conservative belief, political correctness is not a solely left-wing phenomenon.
Examples of conservative correctness:

frankfurters became "hot dogs" during world war I

french fries became freedom fries in 2003

David Horowitz's "Academic Bill of Rights"

attempts to "teach the controversy" by creationists in biology courses, and global warming deniers in environmental science courses

Any number of campaigns against plays or films, such as Life of Brian or Jesus Christ Superstar, on the grounds that they are "offensive to Christians;" conservative Catholic groups are particularly fond of this tactic

Encouragement of anti-gay activists to eschew the words "gay" and "homosexual" in favor of such phrases as "unnatural vice" and "anti-Christian"

Global warming deniers whining about being called "deniers." They prefer the term "skeptic."

"Enhanced interrogation techniques"

"Homicide bombing"

Atheist billboards are seen as insensitive to Christians.

Republicans changing the names of committees in the House of Representatives to change "labor" to "workforce" and remove any mention of "civil rights"

Free speech zones

The Dixie Chicks causing controversy by criticizing George Bush

ward churchill getting blasted to high heavens for insulting innocent americans (although this was definitely justified)

The whole fox news "war on christmas" nonsense

Conservatives are just as PC as liberals!

Animal Collective

A excellent New York-based band which got it's start in experimental and ambient music. All of the members are originally from Baltimore, MD and Pennsylvania and go by alternate stage names - Avey Tare, Panda Bear, Deakin and Geologist. The group has released several LP's and has seen growing success.

They are known for rhythmic beats, distorted sounds, guitar loops, lush layering, and distorted and often garbled lyrics. Each album has a very different sound and theme, and some say that their music has been getting more and more accessible over time.
I almost poo'd my pants at the Animal Collective show last night.
