Today's word is ...

President Bush used a new word today:

"We can all pitch in by being better conservers," Mr. Bush said after being briefed on the hurricanes' impact on the energy industry at the Energy Department.

I had no idea Bush knew anything about the concept of conservation. After all, his energy policy doesn't say much on the subject, he favors destroying what little pristine land our nation has left in search of oil and he opposes meaningful limits on toxins that are pumped into our air and water, as if clean air and water were in endless supply.

Kudos to whichever of Bush's handlers taught him his new word. Let's see if he ever uses it again.
