This just in -  "The Scottish Executive" has rebranded itself as "The Scottish Government."  Apparently studies showed that few people outside of Scotland actually understood what the heck it meant. 

For those of you who happen to live in the United States of America (and who are quite possibly to blame for the name change because we had no clue that a Scottish Executive was anything other than a guy in a suit,) the Scottish Executive always has been the name of the government over yonder... they just had a cute Scottishy name for it. 

With the change the world becomes a little less classy.  A bit less cultured.  And perhaps a tad easier to comprehend.

...One wonders if Bush ever figured out that the Executive Branch is not attached to a tree outside the Oval Office...
