(HOW, PRAYTELL, does one serve 2 years in the AF, and THEN receive 3 years education at the AF Academy with no subsequent service????)

I thought I was up on a lot of thing, but I didn't know that, but I know something stinks for sure.

"What was Jorge thinking when he named this guy AG?"

the same thing that abuelo Jorge was thinking when he comitted the USA to the fast-track re NAFTA as a lame-duck!

Incidentally, ypu might recall that "reducing illegal immigration" from Messico was one of the major talking-points from abuelo-Jorge on into the final sale of NAFTA when Klinton signed it. Methinks they are trying fast-track II now.

Gonzales' abberant admission to the AF Academy was during the Carter administration, fwiw.

Ud necesita trabajar en su espanol. La palabra espanola es padre, no abuelo. El abuelo del Presidente Jorge W. Bush es el Senador Prescott Bush. Su padre es el ex-presidente. Comprende?

The "common and unifying" amendment seems to have been drafted by Colorado's own Mexican Senator Salazar.
One regional paper ran an editorial that claims the English
amendment was only about saving the culture and not about
making the country more secure. IMO if the terrorists are
speaking a foreign language be it Arabic or Mexican and
in the presense of English speaking Americans then they
have suceeded. If English is the official language it would save a bundle of money -and would result in a faster assimilation.the amendment makes no attempt to outlaw the
Babel only to cut govt. costs.

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".

When one is needed as a token at a well connected law firm in Texas, anything can be worked out.

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.
