Story: Political correctness puts disk drives in a spin

RE: The earlier comment about blacksmiths. I am one (really) and I've had one or two people over the last few years suggest that I call myself a metalsmith to avoid any racist innuendo. Needless to say, I'm still a BLACKsmith (Because wrought iron is known as a black metal, not because of my colour at the end of the day. Brass/bronze are white metals, hence whitesmith)
My suggestions?
Bush and Blair
Chimp and Poodle
Saddam and WMD (er...maybe not)
