Speaking of fuzzy language - the word "since" used at the beginning of a sentence is structurally a conjunction and becomes synonymous with "because". You probably meant to use it as a substitute for "after".

Since I commented about how being vague or using inappropriate language is a
sign of confusion, I just got this article. It actually confirms my
observation. So Bush's vagueness and nonsensical statements may actually be
a sign of very fuzzy thinking.
