Total religious switch, dudes...

[almostwitty]

And in the latest edition of the continuing decline of America (as observed by someone who lives in an ever-declining society), I bring to you the news (via worldofmin02) that Americans keep switching religions. But that's not the item I wish to draw attention to - rather the quote from the thinktank that discovered this...

Says Pew Forum director Luis Lugo, "[...] We totally knew it was happening, but this survey enabled us to document it clearly." (my emphasis)

Interestingly, Mr. Lugo appears to hail from Philadelphia and has no hitherto connections with California, let alone teen Californian speak. Which means that either Californian speak is now de rigeur in the reporting corridors of power, or the press release has been through a Californian makeover.
