Slog - Comments on Movie Night at Havana: The Warriors: An Update http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/movie_night_at_havana_the_warriors_an_up Turns out The Warriors really wanted to go on tonight, but electronics and rain don't mix, and the weather people are always fucking up (Case & Point: Tonight). As such, the gang are gonna hide out tonight, and they'll come out whenever they feel like it....

The latest sports news off the street,
boppers. The Baseball Furies dropped the ball,
made an error. Our friends are on second base, trying to make it home. The inside word is the odds are against them. Stay tuned, boppers. Stay tuned.

But when I google "case and point" I get 435,000; and the top matches are articles considering whether the phrase is "in" or "and" and deciding that it is "in."

However, there is not yet an article on wikipedia titled "Case in point."

I'm going to bed. I really hope that by tomorrow morning some english major has an article worked up.

Get better sources or educate yourself about how weather works before you shoot your mouth off.

Sorry to pick on you, but this (like "do to" in your previous post), is a perfect example of picking up a colloquialism by ear, and getting it wrong.

The superfluous capitalization only makes it worse.

Other then that...
