Come on, it's been a full day already. Surely I wasn't the only person who yelled for joy in the car when he heard?
I did too! Because I'm really optimistic about his replacement!
OK, I understand that you don't like the guy,. Heck, I'm a Republican and I don't like the guy. But yelling for joy over the resignation of a political appointee? That seems a little excessive.
Maybe if it was our AD's tenure...

Glad I'm not the only one hoping it was a typo. The 'G' key is sorta near the 'D'
Maybe it was the decision to use a pronoun as well as the uncommon abbrev in the original subject line. When I come to this site, given the not-insignificant traffic from Canada which I suspect also visits, "our" doesn't immediately snap me to the nation-level. :-}

I agree on the "our" comment, though. Most of the Canadians visiting this site probably have two AGs anyway, and all of the Americans do.
I'm getting a lot of flak for a pronoun I didn't even put in; an underling who prepared that post. I just signed it. In fact, I don't exactly recall signing it. In fact, to the best of my recollection, such a pronoun was never discussed when we considered drafting the post. In fact, I'm not sure if I used the pronoun at all, but I would be happy to look into it.
Oh, and KeithK, I yell at/with the radio a lot when I'm in the car. It helps keep my mind off the fact that everyone in Boston drives like a madman, there's constantly construction on main roads during rush hour, and the stoplights' timing was apparently set by a retarded chipmunk (http://xkcd.com/277/).

Edit: And, come to think of it, would've been followed by more exclamation points. ::uptosomething::

I think it's pretty a uncommon abbreviation outside of legal circles.

It's pretty well known to anyone who follows politics. Then again, considering voter turnout, that might qualify as pretty uncommon.

Considering the plummeting circulation figures of newspapers ...
