Dude, really?

That sentence blew me away too. It hit me like the explosion of the atomic bomb in the center of Hiroshima.

With the recent disaster to Granderson, the Yankees will have to change the entire philosophy of team.

That's some good writing there. What or how is a "disaster to" someone? The whole article is a train wreck.

Mystique may be getting stale, but Aura always has something fresh she brings to her stage performances.

Her lap dances not so much.

The whole article is a train wreck.

The Happy Land fire analogy works perfectly, but your thoughtless comment is a bitter insult to the memory of those we lost in the 1906 Halifax embankment crash.
