This is why commas matter (3.67 / 2)
You're right, it worked the second time. I was able to watch all those asinine clips of Palin saying "thanks but no thanks."

I fucking hate it when people say "thanks but no thanks" when they mean to say "thanks but no." Somewhere along the line someone misunderstood the sentence "no, thanks" (meaning "thank you, but I refuse") as "no thanks" (meaning "I don't thank you"). If "no thanks" without a comma means "I don't thank you," then "thanks but no thanks officially has no meaning whatsoever.

Sarah Palin needs a head transplant.
