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.)

Astro> gforce's smiles can cure cancer in kittensgforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Today I discovered what's not so much an easy misreading as a bad choice of words:
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.Foxy Brown turned herself in Tuesday for throwing — and hitting — a woman with a Blackberry, E! Online reported.

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!
