"Political correctness hits new high". Surely you meant new low?

  :-) Interesting. In the sense that PC is increasing, this is a new high, but of, course it's a new low for our institutions. What I find interesting is that there's a small group of words in English that are their own antonyms, e.g. sanction, oversight, and cleave (this is may favorite). Also fun are phrases that have come to mean the exact opposite over the centuries, e.g. "I DOUBT some foul play", "[I'll kill anyone] who LETS me [pass]" from Hamlet.
