From the Chicago Sun-Times today:
Quote: Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) refused to apologize Wednesday for comments he made on the Senate floor comparing the actions of American soldiers at Guantanamo Bay to Nazis, Soviet gulags and a ''mad regime'' like Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot's in Cambodia.
YEAH, DICK!!!!! |

Marilyn,
I had no idea you were married.
What other personal details have you withheld?
And please don't let it happen again. |

| Oops. I guess I did. It's been 11 years since I had a marriage, and it only lasted 6 years. |

Quote: Ya know? I give McBain shit about...
I'm not trying to change the world here, but everytime I see this construction it yanks me (no pun intended) right out of the sentence. Can't we all agree that the logical construction is, "I do not give a shit/toss/fig/etc." Similarly, "I couldn't care less," makes more sense than, "I could care less."
The first person to say, "Who gives a shit," gets a tight slap. I have no idea what a tight slap is, but it is a term my Malaysian wife uses all the time. |

| This might be American usage, Jeremy, but it's correct on this side of the pond. Think of giving someone a hard time. |

| So you still won't admit it's just plain wrong. |

| You can give someone shit. It's hassling someone. Pretty common slang term. |

| I remember Marilyn saying something about an ex-husband on the NYT forum. I guess we've both been posting quite a while. |
