One of my coworkers was asking whether it was more apporpriate to use "political consciousness" or "political conscience" in a piece she was working on. She wasn't quite sure of how these phrases were defined.
So I said:
"Well, political consciousness is when you know who the president is. Political conscience is when you feel guilty because you voted for him."
O.K. so I'm no Geoffrey Nunberg. (But I'm no William Safire neither.)
