Who decides.

Who decides? People up to no good, usually.

Annie's column this week is just precious ... How did we go from winning the war in Iraq to losing overnight? Was this decided by the same committee that changed "Peking" to "Beijing"? These word changes are a fortiori evidence that liberals are part of a conspiracy. On what date did "horrible" and "actress" vanish from the English language to be replaced with "horrific" and "actor"? Who decided that? (Meanwhile, I'm still writing "Puff Daddy" in my nightly dream journal when everybody else has started calling him "Diddy.") When did "B.C." (before Christ) and "A.D." (anno Domini, "in the year of the Lord") get replaced with "BCE" (before the common era) and "CE" (common era)? "Withdrawal" is "redeployment," "liberal" is "progressive," and "traitorous" is "patriotic." These new linguistic conventions — like going from "winning" to "losing" in Iraq — simply spread like an invisible bacterial invasion. [continue SURRENDER BY ANY OTHER NAME ...] Of course one of the reasons I love Ann is we think alike, only she's better at it.  There are other things I've questioned along these lines, like Gebbels.  I have some others ... . Who decided 1n 2000 that Republicans, who had always been blue on election maps, were now red? There's more but I can't think of them.  Maybe you can.
