Re: Spelling of "Osama/Usama" Bin Laden
"Anyone trying to transliterate it has to approximate the sound, which is somewhere between a long O and a soft U. Based on input from Arabists, Fox News decided that 'U' came closer to the original sound. If you disagree with our spelling, blame western culture. Usama does."
John Moody Sr. VP of News Editorial Fox News Channel

I know we already have one for today, but I liked this one. Consider it tomorrow's quote. You will have to get on tommorrow to read it.

"I feel sorry for the owner of a restaurant whose regular customers are ambulance drivers on their lunch break. It can't be good for business to have all those EMT vans parked outside.
If you filled out an application to join the Ku Klux Klan, do you think there's a box to check ethnicity?
We have a new Supreme Court Justice. Samuel Alito. People made such a big fuss about how he dealt with the nomination process. Because he had to endure over 18 hours of grueling scrutiny and testimony. Big deal. I go through that every single time I visit my parents.

Only three ingredients make the basic Rice Krispies Treats recipe: 6 cups of Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal, 10 ounces of marshmallows, and 3 tablesthingys butter. If Rice Krispies aren't available where you are, crisped rice (or for that matter any puffed cereal) can be substituted. Are you even allowed to call them Rice Krispies Treats if they don't contain Rice Krispies cereal? I wrote to Kellogg's and didn't get a clear answer. They did tell me the following:
"The Rice Krispies Treats recipe is trademarked by Kellogg Company and is not available for use by the public. Therefore, we can not grant permission to use this name. As with any recipe you make, it can be used as you want. However, you would have to use a generic name such as rice crisp cereal bars should you decide to sell them."
