Hey, you folks who made the "blame Clinton" ad? It's "whose fault," not
"who's fault."

Hey, we need to keep the intellectual high ground here.

1. I've been pointing out for a long time that there's a big difference
between smart and ruthless.

Rove and the other dirty tricksters are NOT SMART, but they are ruthless.

Their lack of smarts will make the whole thing easy to unravel, no matter how much paper they shred.

2. I was trying to figure out how to let them know that.
Grammar mistakes in a post, okay. But in an ad that you presumably are paying for? Come on now. Grammar's not that hard.

5. I see this kind of error a lot, and it's becoming more and more prevalent.

You get the picture. I don't know what the reason is, but these mistakes are everywhere, even on web sites of major corporations. :shrug:

7. It's even in the newspapers now. It makes me crazy. How about just a
little bit of PROOFREADING, people?

8. Their supporters won't have a clue.
Because they're just as ignorant:



Are they saying "Let's roll" or asking for a "lettuce roll?" :wtf: Who really knows with these creatures? They're 'edumacated' morans.

9. I saw a local family at the diner yesterday. Dad's a high school football coach.
Teen-aged daughter was wearing a hoodie enscribed on the back: "COACHES DAUGHTER"


I observed, "He must not teach English, huh?"

:rofl: :evilgrin: :rofl:

10. If he DOES teach English, we're all doomed. And you know it's possible
that he does, don't you?

God help us.

12. It's embarassing enough that she wears it in public in her dad's company.
We're NOT talking subtle, here. In a literate culture, everyone in the restaurant would be laughing. As it was, I doubt my remark was even comprehended.
