* RADIO RANT: Engfish (sic) Only

Among the specific ideological inanities of Michael Savage's "language, borders, & culture" spiel is the eternal call for English Only—as he then proceeds to mispronounce every other 4- or 5-syllable word that he utters (despite his alleged Ph.D. credentials). And I heard Glenn Beck, a few weeks back, defend conservatives as follows: "[They call us conservatives non-compassionate just because we want] only English to be spoke here?"!? Outrageous!—to summarize his oh-so-cutesy tongue-in-cheek conclusion. But, well—if English is going to be "spoke" that way, it's rather a Pyrrhic victory, n'est-ce pas?
