I knew there just had to be a logical explanation.

Gubamint, as is English, is so confusing these days.

Next up for our courageous government, a declaration of air as our common respiratory currency.

"We have no problem in identifying English, our common linguistic currency as a national language; we also view it more expansively as the "common and unifying language," said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino.

Gonzales only looks OK when compared to Reno. His record on illegal alien prosecution is deplorable.

I guess it depends on what the meaning of "is," is.

I can't believe what all the modern-day pathetic attempts to avoid accountability are doing to the English language. "Linguistic snare" ranks right up there with "wardrobe malfunction".

From today's Mercury News (San Jose)...

English has been the "official" language of California since 1986, when voters passed Proposition 63.

You'd barely know it.

The Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters prints ballots in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese and Tagalog. California drivers can take the written license exam in 31 languages, from Amharic, which is spoken in Ethiopia, to Thai. You can view the state's online Megan's Law database of registered sex offenders in Portuguese or Punjabi.

In other words,mVOTERS BE DAMNED

This is so much akin to, "it depends on what the definition of the word is, is".

The hits keep rolling in.

It all depends on the meaning of the word "is".

Your Statement: "Gubamint, as is English, is so confusing these days."

Response: It is called "keeping a fluid posture."

Comment: Thus, by vagueness, ambiguity and the sowing of confusion so called the 'leadership' can, at a later date, jump which ever way the trend seems to be going.
