Another Thing
I always heard “another thing coming” until sometime in, say, the last twenty years. I took “another think coming” to be a variant people employed to be funny. Since I am not much younger than Rand Simberg, it may have once been a regionalism to use think rather than thing, so we learned it differently when young. It’s unfortunate that noting the difference was lent emotional attachment by deploying it as Sarah-bashing, thinking she’s stupid for using the more common version of a phrase.
On the plus side, from the comment thread I learned that “another think coming” was the original, largely replaced by morphing of the language.

Little Pink House
As someone who followed the Kelo case closely and was sorely disappointed by the decision, I am excited to see this.

One Way to View Laws
The Jews In The Attic Test to evaluate whether a given law or policy would make it harder/impossible to protect the innocent from a government of evil intent.
Marxism Not Magic
I already knew My Little Pony was a great show the kids love, but I hadn’t caught this overt rejection of marxism.
Buh-Bye
I am so glad to see this go. It irks me every time I drive by it, which is not daily, but more often than I’d like. On the plus side, I had assumed it was directly affiliated with Fenway/Red Sox. Good to know it’s not.
