To Be Clear: Kirstie Alley NOT Linked in Bridge Scandal

A Twitter user named Phillip Winn took the actual New York Times headline "Christie Ally to Plead Guilty in New Jersey Bridge Closings" and illustrated it with a photo of Ms. Alley, who has not been linked to the scandal in any way.

Sorry bad link - can't cut and paste in this stupid phone.

The Washington Post has a funny headline "Either Christie ally or Kirstie Alley to plead guilty today. But probably the former. "

In many languages inanimate objects are assigned a gender. In French, for instance, what we call a bridge they call bridgette.

I just get a chuckle thinking of some of the Cheers characters' reactions to Kirstie's pending guilty plea.
