Wilco, you’re wrong according to Oxford.com, either is correct using the word “me”:

The mayor has invited me and my husband.
The mayor has invited I and my husband. [Wrong]

The mayor has invited my husband and me.
The mayor has invited my husband and I. [Wrong]

Come on, TP. I have to agree that this post is a bit of a stretch.

What’s next…his fly was unzipped as he left the podium?

On the other hand…we all knew that his family would come into the picture.

I tell you…this “______ resigned to spend more time with his (or her) family” has become quite the joke. Several months ago on the Disney Channel sitcom “That’s So Raven,” one of Raven’s teachers at school was fired. When the students asked the principle what the reason was, he replied, “She wanted to spend more time with her family.”

“The Latin Kings is a Chicago/New York-based street gang consisting of mainly of Spanish-speaking or Hispanic members. It began as a social organization for the advancement of the Puerto Rican community in the Chicago area in the 1940s[1] and has since spread through all of Latin America and into Europe, specifically Spain. [2]

By the 1970s, the Latin Kings came to be dominated by individuals engaged in criminal activity, and in particular, narcotics trafficking.

By 1999, a joint investigation, now labeled “Operation Crown” and including the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office, the United States Attorney’s Office, the Bronx District Attorney’s Office, the FBI, and the NYPD, resulted in the arrest of more than 100 members of the Latin Kings in New York and New Jersey, including Fernandez. The charges included conspiracy to distribute narcotics, narcotics possession, weapons possession, and murder.

According to an indictment unsealed in federal court in 2005, the Milwaukee chapter of the Latin Kings street gang engaged in an eight-year span of violent activity, including murder, attempted murder, drug trafficking, robbery, kidnapping, arson, home invasions, drive-by shootings, and intimidation of witnesses. Following a multi-year federal, state, and local task force investigation, officers arrested numerous suspects and executed 15 federal search warrants in the Milwaukee area. In total, 49 members of the Latin Kings street gang were charged in federal court in Milwaukee with racketeering, drug, and firearms offenses.

The 38-count indictment charged that the Latin Kings operated as a criminal RICO enterprise in Milwaukee and other parts of Wisconsin from January of 1998 through September 27, 2005, the date of the indictment. The indictment contained specific allegations regarding four murders and 38 attempted murders that were allegedly committed by the defendants. The indictment also alleged that the Latin Kings had an established hierarchy, requiring the payment of membership and chapter dues paid from drug trafficking and robberies.[4]

… in the rest of (beside Catalonia) Spain, the Latin Kings are still
considered an illegal organization.

Hey Almight, are you sure you’re not an ignorant thug? Just want to be sure we know who we’re dealing with.

Looks like he has as much respect for the laws of grammar as he does for the laws of the land. Saying people dislike A.G. because he’s Latin is as valid as saying people dislike George W. Bush because he’s white.

Senator Obama is very open about his life story, and that he did drugs and alcohol in his youth – he was not an “alcoholic” nor an “addict.” (Unlike a certain man who is president today.)

Yes, because it’s not important for a person who is in charge of how the Federal government parses words to be literate.

This is the outgoing Attorney General gentlemen…

He can’t even get “I quit” right.

We are a Latin organization dedicated to the empowerment and self reliance of the Latin Community.
WE have members in the Military and Business world.
We have been label a gang and I admit that was our origin, but we’ve evolved beyond that.
Our membership is open to all those of Spaniard, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, French, Latin American and Filipino descent.
By uniting as one bloc we can achive economic and political power.

Who the hell cares if Gonzo’s statement had a grammatical error in it or not. He’s gone and that’s the story.

shane,
“WASPS are Republicans not liberals”
In NY WASP are Leftist Democrats.
I lived there you didn’t!

“Do you even know what WASP means?”
White Anglo Saxon Protestant.

“He believes that no Republican would dislike him. ”
There are Racist Republicans like Tom Tancredo and there are racist Democrats like Chuck Shumer and Jim Webb!

I was saying from my persoanl experience the most racist people are Leftist Jews and WASPS.
Their racism is slick.
It’s not f you spic.
It’s you need my help since you’ll never amount to anything because of my race.
You shpould be gratefulk and vote for me because without me you’ll amnount to nothing.
NYers atre the most racsit people on Earth.
I’ll cheer when that city is gone!

Considering the fact that Bush still says ‘Nuculur’, Gonzales’ gramatical misstep is par for the course. Not something Bush would have even noticed.
