There is an article on the Internet about commas in use today. Almost an obituary really, someone saying farewell to the comma. A casualty of our enabled society in which the attention span among its members is decreasing at an alarming rate. We conduct our lives in sound bites, live for the next distraction. Don't get me wrong, I hate the comma just as much as the next ADHD sufferer, but it is true that the comma is falling into disuse.

Might it have something to do with this next bit? I found this in an obviously slanted newspaper called The New York Times....

Mr. Ailes was the media consultant to Mr. Giuliani’s first mayoral campaign in 1989. Mr. Giuliani, as mayor, officiated at Mr. Ailes’s wedding and intervened on his behalf when Mr. Ailes’s company, Fox News Channel, was blocked from securing a cable station in the city.

This year, they were tablemates at the White House correspondents dinner, which Mr. Giuliani attended as a guest of Fox’s parent company, the News Corporation.

Now these allies and friends find themselves on largely uncharted political turf. Mr. Giuliani, 63, is a leading Republican candidate for president. Mr. Ailes, 67, is head of Fox News, the pre-eminent media outlet for likely voters in a Republican primary.

Of course Fox is slanted as well, it seems we have come to accept the demise of objective news sources, and it is rare someone will actually come out with it and admit it. Fox will even tout their 'fair and balanced' position. Anyone that actually believes that is living in a dream world... without commas, of course.
