Wherever he is, the late comedian George Carlin must be laughing his a** off.<\/p>\n

Carlin once made famous those “seven words you can’t say on TV.” I won’t repeat them here. Many of you know them already.<\/p>\n

Now we have the Centers for Disease Control being told not to use seven supposedly hot-button words in future budget proposals.<\/p>\n

Oh, my. What is the world coming to?<\/p>\n

The CDC’s banned words are: fetus, diversity, transgender, vulnerable, entitlement, evidence-based and science-based.<\/p>\n

You can’t say it<\/a><\/p>\n

I want to focus on one of those banned words: science-based.<\/em><\/p>\n

What in the name of hocus-pocus is going on here? I mean, we’re talking about the Centers for Disease Control, aren’t we? Doesn’t the CDC deal directly and wholly with science? I do not understand this directive. I do not grasp why the CDC — of all agencies — would get this kind of directive from on high.<\/p>\n

Critics of the Trump administration have alleged that it is being run by science-deniers. Here’s one example: They deny the existence of climate change despite mounting scientific evidence that Earth’s climate is changing, that it is getting warmer.<\/p>\n

So now the CDC is being told it cannot use “science-based” terminology?<\/p>\n

What in the world would George Carlin do with this bit of idiocy?<\/p>\n\n
