| A solution to the Osama/Obama problem: |
|
Although Fox and other outlets keeps "accidentally" saying Obama when they mean Osama and vice versa, it's a sad fact that even good Democrats with clumsy typing skills can make the same mistake late at night. Here's the solution:
Since the transliteration of Arabic names is an approximation at best and there are usually several alternate spellings, I propose that from now on the leader of Al-Qaeda be referred to as:
*********************************************
Asema Bin Laden
*********************************************

| 4. And it was also the one used by FAUX news |
|
until it became politically advantageous of them to use the other spelling, and "accidentally" confuse it with the name of a Democratic senator.

makes it somewhat obvious who sponsored him and made him who is today.

| 2. If they can pronounce the Prez of Iran's name, "Obama" should be a breeze. No excuses! |
|
Of course, that's not exactly the issue, but maybe it should be pointed out that the least they can do is practice saying Obama's name over and over until they get it right.

| 3. There will be no stopping the "accidental" use of OSama and OBama |
|
FAUX and CNN will continue to use it because they know planting that little seed in the mind of the ones who don't think for themselves works.
