I just saw a Comcast headline: "IS CLINTON A DRAG ON DEMS?"
In my haste, I read it as, "Is Clinton a dragon, dems?"
Many, even among dems, would say she is. But we know there's nothing wrong with that.

Hey, another dragon is running for president!
Could she roast all of the incompetent politicians by breathing fire?
(actually, that's probably a bad idea.
All of the politicians would be gone.)

She sorta already does....she is a political carrier destroyer....I would not want to stand in her way that is for sure.

Today I discovered what's not so much an easy misreading as a bad choice of words:
Foxy Brown turned herself in Tuesday for throwing — and hitting — a woman with a Blackberry, E! Online reported.
If they'd moved the second dash to right after "with," this would be fine. Instead, it sounds like Foxy Brown threw a woman with a Blackberry.

Nothing so spectacular. She just threw and hit a woman who happened to be holding a Blackberry.
Nice idea, tho. Nobody leak it to Microsoft!
