THE PYTHONS OF WAR: Mickey Kaus points out the misuse of the word "sacking" in an MSNBC report about the capture of the town of Basra. (Scroll down to Sunday for the entry). However, due in part to Mickey's complaining on Microsoft-owned Slate, MSNBC has changed the word "sacking" to "taking." Presumably, those responsible for the "sacking" have been sacked.
