Here's one for the TRUE football fans out there

That would be soccer, to you and me. But not to Murty, Maire and Maeraed. They should be thrilled with this news, as uncovered at the National Review Online
AIG was the prime sponsor of the largest sports franchise in the world, soccer giants Manchester United. As they are now, I suppose, the official soccer team of the United States government, Donal Blaney suggests they need to change their uniform design.

Well, if the tax payers are going to own major chunks of our financial businesses they might as well own a soccer, er, football, team.

spelling errors in the above quote were silently corrected. Maybe the NRO folks are right about the inadequacies of our educational system.
