Ok, I’ll admit I enjoy reading news sites for all the wrong reasons.
This lovely gem of a sentence from CNN ( http://www.cnn.com/2006/EDUCATION/03/30/immigration.students.ap/index.html ) takes the cake:
Among other things, the legislation would make it a crime to be in this country illegally.
That sentence is just a thing of beauty. 
Tune in next week when we hear more startling revelations, such as “Pain hurts!” and “We believe those who are absent are most likely not here.”
–James
That is excellent. On a local news show awhile back someone said “The next thing she knew she was unconscious.”
That is beautiful. It’s a koan, really.
The BBC are good at it too:

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who oversaw the post-apartheid reconciliation in his native South Africa, has now brought victims and killers from Northern Ireland’s Troubles face to face.
What did he do? Hold a séance?
Not in the news, but it stopped me dead in my tracks when I saw it on a donation box “We turn used clothing into new kids through education”
I read it twice…read it a third time…copied it down for posterity
The first step on the long and winding road to soylent green…
Don’t forget to recycle, everybody! 
Oftentimes, when I go back and read a sentence or paragraph that I have written, I realize that the meaning of the sentence is unclear and could be read differently by different people.
The use of several negatives in a long sentence has always seemed a bit problematic for me. Take this example from “Walden” by Henry David Thoreau:
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
Story of my life!
There was a shop near to where I lived that nearly made me crash my car larfing when I read the sign of the shop name “Omar Nuts” What was he selling? kicks to the groin??
