In case you were interested in what Joe the Plumber's friends are thinking, the United Association of Plumbers and Pipe Fitters was one of the first unions to endorse Obama

Eat Mister Kitty and go to sleep! You're making your mom sad!

THIS is the reason I try to teach proper comma placement to my students.... I did a double take reading this, thinking it would make sara sadder to eat MK.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
