Irony ...

Or, "Keep your government hands off my government money":

...

Palin's quirky invocation of the "Spudnut Shop" here in Richland Washington as an example of American "can-doism" is far more ironic than you and most of your readers likely realize.

4th Round of the FA Cup this weekend. I might show up later but I never miss a Cup match.

...

The FA Cup was first held in 1871–72, and is the oldest association football competition in the world.[1] Because it involves clubs of all standards playing against each other, there is the possibility for "minnows" from the lower divisions to become "giant-killers" by eliminating top clubs from the tournament and even theoretically win the Cup, although lower division teams rarely reach the final.

2 weeks ago, a team from the little town of Stevenage beat Premier League side Newcastle United. Next to the World Cup, in my opinion, this is some of the best football you can watch.

Update:

For those who care: Crawley Town is through to the fifth round. Unfortunately, they drew Manchester United for their next match.
