A grammar question (wisdom of Al Franken)
I saw this on the door of a professor's office (once more proving to me that academia and the media are not anti-conservative, it's just the case that liberals are smarter and more funny :evilgrin:), and I felt the need to share.

Correct the grammar of the following sentence.

George W. Bush is the president who in God's name will save our children.

a. The sentence is correct.

b. George W. Bush is the president who, in God's name, will save our children.

c. George W. Bush is the president. Who in God's name will save our children?!?!

3. I really belly-laughed at that one...
Al's book has SO many great zingers that will give you an aerobic work-out just by laughing. And, of course, he knew we ALL would choose "C"; this time without guessing!:D

B-)
