Put the FUN in ConFUSion

Er, I'm not really sure where it would fit, exactly. Maybe we should just call it "FUNfusion"? That's kind of catchy.

Then again, I did not get much sleep last night.

In other news--no wait, I mean in the SAME news, I mean it's the whole point I started writing this post today--I found another grammatically challenged link on cnn.com today. See if you can find it here (hint: it's the second one):



At first I thought that a dead woman who had once been a preacher's wife was alleging an illegal search. Not that I'd rule out such a thing as impossible, especially in a country (the U.S.) where a man can be paid $130,000 a year even though he'd been dead for 30 years. But it did seem a trifle strange.

Then again, I did not get much sleep last night.

Wait, I said that already. I'm confused. Or is that FUNfused?

I think I need to take a nap. (Thankfully, it's now OK to do that at work, as I've mentioned before.)

    there isn't a mistake in this one is there? jsut poor wording and placement. I mean, how would you correct that without shuffling things around?

    you're right, p. better to have said, "wife of slain preacher" in this instance... especially considering the proximity of the first link, which talks about a widow being killed!
