Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Generally, I think using both punctuation marks is frowned upon. But that's just me.
I just was listening to a Grammar Girl podcast on the subject from a while back. She says not to use both and is a fan of the interrobang, although wouldn't suggest using that in formal writing either.

Tino has clearly invaded sarameg's office.
Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that the memorial at the Staples Center is apparently turning into a funeral? That just seems really weird to me.

Is Michael Jackson still dead? Because the only way it could interest me right now is if he hops out of the coffin.

Apparently the City of Los Angeles are asking for donations to cover cost of said memorial/funeral.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Unfortunately we have CNN on in the office kitchen permanently and it seems to be all-Michael, all-the-time.
