Can't wait to read Squidley's rant about this one!

The thing I'm waiting to see is a voice filter on my home phone for telemarketers and my bank that allow me to speak with someone who can pronounce my first and last name properly.

Matter of fact, I think I can get hold of an old Meridian phone system from work. This could be fun.

Great post and AMEN! America=English. My forefathers learned it when they came here. Why can't they?

Sorry to disappoint, vicki, but I have nothing to add. At most, all I can say is, damn straight!

But now that you have me thinking...

The promotion of any second national language can only be divisive, especially in a country as large as ours. Just look to our neighbors in the frozen wastes to the north for an example of what kind of nonsense you have to endure with two official languages. Of course, making French official only strengthened the separatists in Quebec. Are we so foolish as to think we'll be different with Spanish and the Mexican revanchists?

Sorry, not much of a rant. Check out what I said in the Kennedy comments!

Stopped at a Mc Donalds in North Bend WA. on Sunday. Almost all the printed matter that held our food was English/Spanish. Game pieces for the Pirate game were likewise bi-lingual. North Bend is over 1000 miles from the border. I have decided to boycot any company that insists on printing, advertising, or othewise fostering the Spanish laungage. When we lived in Italy I learned Italian. When stationed in Japan I learned Japanese. I damn sure will not learn Sanish to do business in my native land.

Good point Roger. I wrote them about the billboard in a CA city. All spanish!

Ever thought of going to that North Bend outlet and try and pay with Pesos?

McVomit's has bus ads here in the Central Coast area of the People's Republic of Mexifornia that are monolingual--in Spanish. Up yours, Mickey Dee's! You aren't getting any more of my money (not that much of it has gone there since college...).
