I adore the linguistic effects of bleeping people's real names:
Tribune Owner can “just fire” the writers because Tribune Owner owns the Tribune
I can hurt a demon!! That's right. I'm back. And I'm a BLOODY ANIMAL!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wow, the buffista version of the Blagojevich affair is so much more interesting than the NPR version.
I am so into that rocket, Kat. I can think of another little boy who'd love it, although we were planning on getting him a skateboard.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Tribune Owner owns the Tribune
That sounds like a LOLcat caption....
Let's see - the picture could be a cat wearing a Cubs hat.

If any of you were headed to London to see David Tennant in Hamlet, cash in your plane tickets.

buy it buyit buy it. for the nephew. Honestly, I think the book is advanced for the average 9 yr old. There are things that my 4th graders ( from my book club ) would just miss. -- I find amazon puts a lot of books in the 9-12 range that might be ok on a numerical reading level for that group , but interest or emotional level is higher or lower.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
They're saying that Candidate #5 is Jesse Jackson, Jr.
That was my first guess.
So who will get to appoint a Senator, presuming Blago doesn't try to do it from his cell?
