a little word-smithing would go so far...

Yahoo sticks little ads at the ends of messages their users send out. They've switched to a plea for donations for emergency relief, which is good, but I don't think this is quite how they meant to phrase it: "Terrorist Attacks on U.S. - How can you help?"

If this weren't so awful, that would be funny.

Heck, it's still funny. I just feel bad chuckling at it.

Catholics almost have the Jewish People matched in the guilt department... ;-)

I feel bad chuckling at it too, but I can't help it. I'm a word nerd by profession, after all.

Possibly-inappropriate religious comment ahead:

I perceive a subtle difference between Catholic guilt and Jewish guilt: Catholics feel guilty (including acknowledging this as the starting state for all people); Jews try to make you feel guilty (usually this comes from parents).
