Language arts
In a totally useless piece of legislation, the Senate has declared in a self-righteous huff that English is the official language of the United States.
How do say "political posturing" in Spanish?

Allen,
After much investigation, I have decided to declare the immigration situation a false flag operation.
Fact #1: The Sensenbrenner-sponsored Bill, which was the draconian legislation all the immigrants were fussing about, passed the House in December. Does one find it to be interesting that the Immigrant Marches/Rallies didn't begin until March? I do. Why not in December?
Fact #2: The rallies themselves were largely publicized using Clear Channel radio stations. These stations are owned by the company that gave the overwhelming share of political donations to Republicans, and are very pro-business. They are no friend to progressive causes or politics. Why then, all of a sudden, are they using their stations to help coordinate and publicize these rallies? Could it be that their help was enlisted?
Fact #3: In a surprising move, the President breaks with Sensenbrenner, who comes out last week and says that the 'majority of the language of HR4437 came from the White House'. If the President was the one who put this language forward, then why would he disavow it later? Why would he not support language he had written? Could it be that he intended to get the reaction from the immigrant community that he eventually did, with a little prodding from the radio stations and churches?
I honestly do not think this was an organic thing. I think it was by design.
