Oh for Pity's Sake...
Apparently, some easily-riled people are upset with President Bush for pronouncing "Nevada" the same way I do. Now, I'd like to start by saying that this is pretty trivial, like whether you say "Miz-oo-ree" or "Miz-oo-rah" for Missouri. A more pressing question, however, would be: in what way can the middle syllable of "Nevada" possibly rhyme with "gamble?"
