“Amercia” is one reason why the Romney campaign needs a new copy editor. Here’s another.
that parallel structure will get you every time
and so will your family members apparently
That is not the Amercia of my dreams.
but if he’s off fighting the battle on all fronts, how will he have time to hunt, shoot, and protect his family and home?

New Record Player Has Cat Attachment
A new record player from Pioneer has an attachment to play “cat” records. The cat format was briefly popular in the late 1970s, but lost out to the more popular 45 and 78 RPM discs.

The format has experienced a renaissance of sorts in the past year, with a handful of indie punk acts in the United Kingdom releasing cat recordings. The biggest issue for cat fans has been finding working cat players. So the announcement from Pioneer that it will begin manufacture on a new record player with a cat attachment is welcome for audiophiles.

Where to Find Awkward Tweets Deleted By Politicians
The Sunlight Foundation just launched a really fun, vast new site called “Politiwoops” that collects all the tweets that politicians have deleted from their Twitter feeds in the past six months. As Sunlight, which is dedicated to government transparency, explains in a blog post unveiling the site, the collection of thousands of tweets includes hacked missives, typos, and awkward lines that didn’t land well. There’s Rep. Jeff Miller asking, “Was President Obama born in the United State?” There’s President Obama promoting articles in The Atlantic. (And then backtracking!)
