I have always considered the word “thanks,” unless presented with sarcasm as if to say “well, thanks a lot,” to have a positive connotation, until now.

CONCORD – Thanks to deaths and resignations, the 400-member House of Representatives is down to 388 strong.
Then there is the awkward, “down to 388 Strong.”
I know. I strangle the language every day to make a point, but I didn’t go to J-school or take communications. I am not a paid reporter. I do not have a paid editor. And I understand exactly how Kevin managed to put this sentence together. It happens.
Thanks to Susan Olsen, who posted the link on Facebook.
