...been exciting to be part of a much-hyped battle and they [Rage Against the Machine] definitely deserve congratulations," McElderry said. Perhaps a slightly closer look at his own song's lyrics would have provided a taste of what was to come. For as "The Climb" tells us, "Always gonna be an uphill battle / Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose...
...likes of David Rosenberg, chief economist and strategist at Gluskin Sheff. He holds that this year's stock-market uptick can be almost entirely credited to government intervention and stimulus, and that the true, underlying trend of tighter credit and reduced spending will re-assert itself and be with us for years to come.

...which a Canadian newspaper fabricated an entire story about Prime Minister Stephen Harper, claiming that he pocketed a communion wafer instead of ingesting it during a church communion. "Wafergate" never happened, and the story included quotes supposedly uttered by prominent officials that were completely fabricated. Whoops. Hopefully this buys us a little leeway: the next time we screw up, just remember that others have done worse...
