Eat Mister Kitty and go to sleep! You're making your mom sad!

THIS is the reason I try to teach proper comma placement to my students.... I did a double take reading this, thinking it would make sara sadder to eat MK.

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

Cosmetic surgery and transplants? Anyone here who's ever met a transplant patient inclined to put those two on an equal luxury footing?

I scared the dog when I screamed.

Our wings are not tired.

"Good job, good job, good job." Ok, if you say so, John. It did seem like McCain was a bit over hyped up.

I am not able to be remotely objective on the debate.

At the moment I am on NBC. Brokaw's shirt/tie is awful, Brian's shirt/tie is quite nice. Yes, that is all I got. Now to check out the other tie choices, or networks.

((Sara)) It is a tough place to be, and many of us have been there. Please vent, fret, and lean on our shoulders as needed.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Same here. And my dog's deaf.

Wait wait wait... we've achieved equal access (after a long and difficult struggle) but the inner city schools (largely populated by black kids) suck. That's what he just* said, right?

I AM GOING TO SCREAM MY FUCKING HEAD OFF

Wait wait wait... "Troops to Teachers" wouldn't have those silly "certifications," they'd just walk in and be highly qualified? WHAT WHAT WHAT?!?!?!?

* "just" in Trudy Time. I'm delayed.

Bwah! I didn't realize the implications until I read it in your post! sorry, that should read "Eat, Mr. Kitty!"

And I'm the one who gave my journalism professor brother the book "Eats, shoots and leaves"!

I'm watching off and on, and didn't see the remark that prompted this, but that sounds like how Teach For America works -- about six weeks of intensive training over the summer, and then start teaching with conditional certification.

I'm watching PBS coverage after watching the debate on C-Span. Did any of the networks have them on split screen the whole time?
