MLA is Weak

So, I am doing a paper for an English Class and the requirement is to use the "MLA style in-text citation and parenthetical documentation, which means no footnotes."  The Professor knows I love footnoting.  The footnote, to quote the Instapundit, "IS THERE ANYTHING IT CAN'T DO?"

So, I pay my almost $30 to have the MLA handbook shipped to my PO Container, but really, so I can go to their own website to check on citation of works.  I buy, I register, I go to the website and see this interesting little note:

Did You Know?

Web sites sponsored by newspapers are generally not periodicals. See 5.6.2a.

I found that interesting. So, I immediately clicked on the link.

The page you requested could not be found.
