Going through my email

 Still drowning in email.  What can I say?  The non-profits love me.  Most of them... the occasional one sends me an email saying "You know, you haven't opened our last seven emails."  Amnesty International and Oceana seem to have given up on me permanently, but I'm working my way back to them, babe.  Anyway, I probably shouldn't be helping out the scam artists... the many, many scam artists.  I suppose we should pick another word soon: the art of Rembrandt, the art of the pickpocket.  But they're close!  They're basically grammatically correct.  Somehow, they always manage to find the most irritating grammatical error.  Take, for example.....

Typo Is The New Fact Check / Multiple Sources

 I gotta do everything around here.  Got a bone to pick, Mediaite!  Here's the link.  Okay, the typo is before the "Continue Reading" button, so that's another lesson for you.  But you've probably gotten a couple hundred messages to your Smartphones (TM) (R) (C) already.  And that's from outraged people on the Right!  Maybe I shouldn't bother then... I'll just say this.  ALWAYS make sure you get your Dana's right, whether it's Dana Andrews, Dana Delany, Dana Carvey, Dan Abrams, Dana Barrett, Dana Bash or Dana Perino.  In this case, it was a mix-up of the last two.... I know, right?  HUUUUUUGE difference.

Gaylord or Gayland?

I was doing a little research on the so-called Eleventh Commandment.  I thought it said "Thou Shalt Not Attack Thy Fellow Republican."  But according to both Wikipedia AND Conservapedia... you can find that one yourself... the actual text of the commandment is "Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican."  In the era of Trump, however, they might have to expand that to include depositions in court.  After all, most Conservatives seem to answer to a higher power than the American court system when it comes to crunch time. 
Anyway, this "Eleventh Commandment" is credited to Ronald Reagan, but apparently was created by a feller named Gaylord Parkinson.  Alas, it didn't raise his standing in the Internet Age.  A little hard to find articles about him, especially with a name like Gaylord.  But according to Conservapedia, the feller's name is Gay LAND Parkinson.  So which is it?  Is it Gaylord or is it Gayland?  I think the answer is sooo over here...
