This morning we ran a picture of a woman in Houston whose ironic protest sign said "Make English America's Offical [sic] Language." A helpful tipster then sent a link to the picture above, taken in Harlingen Texas just a few days ago by the Valley Morning Star. These protesters are from the opposite end of the political spectrum, decrying a police sting against prostitutes and subsequent publication of booking photos. But they still fucked up their sign spelling. And they really should have caught the mistake, because they took the time to use stencils and everything! So poor English knows no political bounds. Are Texans just unable to spell? I don't remember things being so bad when I was growing up in Houston, but I was a mere grade schooler, and that was prior to the election of one Gov. George W. Bush.
