Who's your DADDY?

Salon:
Mr. Formality: At a press conference on Iraq and the 9/11 commission, President Bush snapped at an Associated Press reporter who failed to address him as "Mr. President." "Sir, in regard to --" began the AP journo, who was interrupted mid-query by Bush. "Who are you talking to?" asked the president, prompting the reporter to stammer out "Mr. President" and Matt Drudge to label Bush "cranky." (Audio, courtesy of Drudge, is

And, my most favorite sentence in recent memory is here, for your pleasure. It is taken from a bulletin about recycling at the lab: "Metal Recycling Moratorium Continues." Basically, the memo is about a moratorium on the unrestricted release of recycling scrap metals that we have left over at the lab, since there are radioactive sources around... but if there's one thing we do well, it's monitoring radiation, since it's important for our health, etc. So, the lab argues that it should be allowed to send out our recyclables after checking, thoroughly, that they're not all aglow. Currently, this recycling is prohibited. And the award for best unintentional dig at the gov-ment goes to the author of this sentence:
"Although this prohibition seems illogical, it may not be permanent."
Nice.
