Don't be afraid of possessives. It’s “Harris’s” and “Martinez’s.” Don’t be afraid of possessives.

If I just mention that Harris' and Harris's are equally acceptable, depending on which newspaper you work at, it just makes me look like I'm trying to sound smart, which I'm not anymore. I blame it on the time I was bashed on the head multiple with a Little-Brown book while being interrogated by unnamed government officials.

She subverted American democracy to instal a fake president, for 280 million Americans and indirectly the entire planet. This is her gift to history, and there is no atonement for it. The most she can ever do is go to her grave with that eating her, which her face slightly suggests. Failing that, she can die a happy camper. Lenin would have, I think. I don't think Tupac would have endorsed my take. My heart goes out to Ms. Katherine Harris.

And for that, we're going to have a nice looooooooooong talk one day soon... She's hot!
