Far From the Madding Gerund
Ha. I saw that a couple of days ago, and very carefully weighed the merits of posting a link vs not.
I decided not to risk it...
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Umm... well....
Where's Juliana or Vortex or meara?
Just say "oh, I --" stop abruptly, smile enigmatically and say "nothing special" What their minds will come up with is FAR more exciting than anything you could actually do.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's good to see that we can count on the neocons to call for more war.
From William Kristol: The right response is renewed strength--in supporting the governments of Iraq and Afghanistan, in standing with Israel, and in pursuing regime change in Syria and Iran. For that matter, we might consider countering this act of Iranian aggression with a military strike against Iranian nuclear facilities. Why wait? Does anyone think a nuclear Iran can be contained? That the current regime will negotiate in good faith? It would be easier to act sooner rather than later. Yes, there would be repercussions--and they would be healthy ones, showing a strong America that has rejected further appeasement.
But such a military strike would take a while to organize. In the meantime, perhaps President Bush can fly from the silly G8 summit in St. Petersburg--a summit that will most likely convey a message of moral confusion and political indecision--to Jerusalem, the capital of a nation that stands with us, and is willing to fight with us, against our common enemies. This is our war, too.
Peace, schmease.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, the "worth" includes real estate and retirement funds and stuff, but yeah -- that seems like upper middle class at the very least.
Even with those things -- a paid off house, a good retirement fund, and no big pile of debt is probably not the norm in the middle class.

Median net worth is about $100,000
10 to 50 times that probably is out of the range of middle class.

Best to cautiously avoid grammer I think. Something many of my sentences do as well.
