Living Their Dream
I mean, most of them think money and greed are evil, anyway, right?
Amidst the financial scandal at Air America (which (not so) shockingly, seems to get little attention from the MSM), they seem to be having trouble meeting their payroll.
This (though off topic) is a little irritating, though:
Written by company Vice President/Finance Sinohe Terrero (this article confims Terrero's corporate role), it inferred the payroll processing company was to blame...
No. It implied. The author of the above inferred. This confusion between the two words, apparently suffered by many, is one of my pet peeves (like the inability to distinguish between "loose" and "lose").

Over at that melange of unwitting ignorance and testosterone known as Slashdot, I've seen repeated threads debating the correct use of "loose" and "lose". Amazing that they'd even think it was amenable to debate.

And my fav', you're just two touchy too appreciate the culture of it to.
OTOH, I know when I'm typing, sometimes my fingers do the spelling for me.

"Data" taking a singular verb.
Ignorance of the subjunctive mood.
People thinking they're being elegantly correct when they use constructions such as "between he and I."
