Naval Academy Midshipmen all untrustworthy

According to the Washington Times, graduating midshipmen (read: Ensign), are not being permitted to carry the ceremonial sword at their graduation.

Because the president will be there.

Apparently, the Secret Service doesn't trust them to obey ANYTHING, much less their ORDERS -- you know, the ones they take freely.

PETA is upset with Obama for killing a fly during a TV interview. Reported that The White House is full of flys.

As a teacher, this bugs me. The plural form of "fly" is spelled f-l-i-e-s.

Don't worry about that. It's just another Earp-ism.

As an editor, I am frustrated by sentences that use misplaced modifiers.

Perhaps you meant "As a teacher, I am bugged by the use of "flys" instead of "flies"."

^^^And, on top of that, tattoos are painful. I've only been tattooed on my lower extremities--I can't imagine the pain of being tattooed on my face. Let alone sleeping through it.
