Affair to Remember?

concerned53 — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 10:32:03 -0400

Glover says in the article that "everybody who was around me at the time knew about" the affair. For years, there has also been talk about a relationship between Glover and another very high-ranking public official. Given the revelations about Glover's past, the media should now ask those parties involved if these rumors should be put to bed or not. How about some answers?

She doesn't think much about her loss to Democrat Kay Hagan.

"I'm not one who looks back," she said.

Right.

North Carolina's former Republican senator was in Charlotte this morning for a fundraiser for two groups associated with Mike Huckabee.

McIntyre probably is too

That would be like Michael Spinks asking Mike Tyson for a rematch.

CORRECTION:

StopNCannexation Coalition had a booth at the Rally.

Fair Annexation DID NOT have a booth at the Take Back Our State rally.

All right. It never occurred to me people would think two former senators would be paid only in Hearty Vegetable Beef Soup. Changed the wording.

Sorry, RTB, I agree with jblue. The sentence can reasonably be read as stating that the Doles are getting the NutriSystem "on the house." After re-reading, I see that you're technically correct because the Doles are "doing" this on the house. However, the ambiguity is unnecessary.

Why hire a proofreader when my readers will do it for free? :)

Seriously, the sentence is correct. They're plugging NutriSystem for free, i.e. "on the house."

"But a representative of NutriSystem said the Doles are doing this one on the house."

You mean "NOT doing this on the house."

Fire a reporter and hire a proofreader instead.

I didn't know that Elizabeth was still with us! So glad to see that she's still among the living, I surely am.

I don't think Jack Kemp was ever a senator:
