Buy a banner; hold the apostrophe
Like John McCain? Show your neighbors with a spiffy new customized McCain banner. The banners, three feet by six feet, are available for a $250 online donation.
Frank Donatelli, a long-time GOP operative now working for McCain, sent an email to supporters today with the offer, showing off the banner (above) that he and his wife, Becki, had made.
"This banner is perfect to take along on your next vacation, to display from your cabin, beach house rental or hotel balcony," Donatelli wrote to fellow "McCainiacs."
One thing Donatelli didn't include in the email but should have: Don't follow his lead on grammar. That apostrophe in "Donatelli's" doesn't belong.

Obama lives in an America with 57 states, thinks his uncle liberated Auschwitz, believes Arabic translators would be put to better use in non-Arabic speaking Afghanistan, and sees fallen heroes!
But the Globe decides to critique a McCain supporters spelling?
It will be so gratifying to have President McCain for the next four to eight years with Romney following him into the Oval office just to spite the Globe and the rest of the "Obama the Appeaser" worshipers in the liberal media
It cracks me up when people try to correct other people's grammar when they are wrong themselves. The sign people may well have made a mistake by inadvertantly adding an apostrphe, but is is perfectly acceptable to have a contraction that means, "Donatelli is" for McCain--which is exaclty what the sign says.
