America’s newest language: Nothing (Update)
I recall African-American comedian Dick Gregory telling a joke: He said “Yes, and ‘curse’ is my second language” when asked if he were bi-lingual.
There is the classic joke: “If you spoke three languages, you were “tri-lingual”. If you spoke two languages, you were “bi-lingual” and if you spoke only one language, you were “American”.
I am hearing a second language for Americans, especially in the media, and the new language is “Nothing!”
The clearest talk radio station I can get on the AM band is the station that carries Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Savage, somebody named Lawson, etc.,
I have concluded when listening to AM radio stations and other media, as soon as the moderator mentions the name “Obama”, I know I am listening to the new American second language of “Nothing”. The moderator is actually building sand castles, palaces and military fortresses all contained in the confines of the language of “Nothing”. They reach lofty heights and Orwellian depths in their presentations.
When someone calls into the station to say something as simple as, “What Obama is doing is crazy!” the moderator immediately takes over, never asking the caller what he means or give examples but rather goes straight into talking “Nothing”.
Moderators are slowly but surely teaching Americans its new second language. In my opinion, it consists of multiple levels of very interesting un-disciplined streams of consciousness. Observing from above and below, one can readily see the train wreck on the bridge when comparing their stream of consciousness to the verbalized streams of consciousness of the President.
Personally, it has become both fascinating and amusing to me. To speak that way is truly a talent and I appreciate all talents, regardless the banality and I fantasize Professor Henry Higgins of “My Fair Lady” analyzing the pedigree and substance of this new American language. Ah, were I an English Major Ph.D candidate looking for something to write about for my dissertation: “Dares gold in dem dah hills…”
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

P.S. I note the left is trying to also teach the language of "Nothing" using RNC Chairman Michael Steel with some casino foolishness coupled with highly questionable and grossly un-sustainable “core Black racist issues” of TeaBaggers. I posit the “core racist issues” of TeaBaggers is “Anti-Semitic” more than anything. "We want our country back" from Blacks? LOL

In my opinion, this little diary of futurebird is precious, PRECIOUS, I say. Perfections abound!
The invention of truth.
