Dan Gearino says some bill titles are Orwellian.
Picking up on our recent series of posts on Dome, the conservative commentator writes on his blog that we live in "the Age of Misbegotten, Mawkish and Misleading Titles."
...some of those titles seek to disguise the bill's actual intent ("The Healthy Youth Act," for instance, which is simply yet another sex education bill sure to raise conservative hackles), while others engage in shameless public relations spin ("Taxpayers Protection Act," which doesn’t actually protect you, but only seeks to limit the state's plunder of your wallet).
He says the titles are "a nifty primer on the Orwellian thinking behind the titling of our laws."
