Politician's For Excessive Apostophe's

Courtesy of Talking Points Memo by way of Brother Vulture:

Sadly (or thankfully), the mistake has since been corrected. To his credit, McCain may have been confused by his opponent's St. Patrick's Day shirt:

Ice Cream-In-Fashion

French phrases are fun to appropriate, no? À la mode means either "fashionable" or "with ice cream" – both fabulous options as far as the Vultures are concerned. This display at a downtown Los Angeles greasy spoon gem, however, could use a re-print:

Guilty As Charg'd

A Grammar Vulture tip of the hat to our favorite criminals of the moment, the Typo Eradication Advancement League (TEAL). Meet the League's helpless victim:

Traffic Jam

A Hollywood parking lot could perhaps put its $20 fees to better use by paying for the missing letters and punctuation on their signage:
