      <description><![CDATA[<p>President Bush:
<br />
<blockquote><p>You&#8217;re making the choices about whether you want to drive a little extra more or not drive extra more.</p></blockquote>
<p>
Oh boy.
</p>
<p>
I think Julie Masion of the Houston Chronicle <a href="http://blogs.chron.com/beltwayconfidential/2008/07/president_bush_say_what.html">said it best</a>:
<br />
<blockquote><p>It seemed his mind was elsewhere for most of it[...]</p></blockquote>
<p>
That quote could be used to sum up his whole time in the White House.

      <title>Giles Coren&#8217;s letter to Times subs</title>
      <link>http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/jul/23/mediamonkey</link>
      <guid isPermaLink="false">http://joshmadison.com/blog/entry/giles-corens-letter-to-times-subs/#When:01:47:01Z</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Some subeditor changed his review, so he wrote them a letter:
</p>
<blockquote><p>the sentence you left me with is shit, and is not what i meant. Why would you change a sentnece aso that it meant something i didn&#8217;t mean? I don&#8217;t know, but you risk doing it every time you change something. And the way you avoid this kind of fuck up is by not changing a word of my copy without asking me, okay? it&#8217;s easy. Not. A. Word. Ever.</p></blockquote>
<p>
And of course, subeditors <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/jul/29/sundaytimes.pressandpublishing">respond</a>:
</p>
<blockquote><p>None of this, however, can excuse your nasty, bullying, &#8220;know your place, you insignificant little fuckwit&#8221; e-mail. Yes, it&#8217;s funny, in a way that pieces that use &#8220;fuck&#8221;, &#8220;shit&#8221; and &#8220;cunt&#8221; so liberally often can be, but, please - someone made a mistake. They surely had no intention of sabotaging your deathless prose. So you don&#8217;t like what happened to your piece - have a word with your editor. The hapless sub will no doubt already have been soundly thrashed and had their dictionary privileges removed.</p></blockquote>
<p>
I just love how they both sign their letters with &#8220;All the best&#8221;.&nbsp; I have to use that more often.
