What Are They Really Saying?
Are you sick and tired of double-speak? Can't figure out what your favorite pundit or analyst is really saying? There are a myriad of sites *cough* storytellers *cough* devoted to interpret for you exactly what President Bush or someone in the administration did, said, or is going to do, say, or is thinking about doing or saying. So I found this link to a site put up during the Clinton admin just to let you know again how imperfect past admins were. After all, they're just men. It's a bit biased considering the admin that was in office, but the same thing is happening during any admin.
It's called the "Liberal to English Dictionary". Here's the print from the link:
| The Liberal to English Dictionary | "It all depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is." -- Clinton |  |
Ever wonder what the Clintons, the Feinsteins, and the Shumers of this world are really saying? Well, thanks to a fellow freedom lover on CompuServe, Wayne Riddle, you can use this ever handy translation dictionary to figure it out!!! I have formatted it for easy reading.
E-Mail me some suggestions to add to the list.
