Whoopsies
The Examiner screws up, too, saying that Prop. B in SF passed, when it did not. (It needed 2/3 of the vote)
The Chron reports that "Kansas challenges Darwin," once again displaying an impressive ignorance of scientific history. This is, however, not to say we shouldn't laugh at my home state, as they certainly deserve it.
We also hear that "White House won't rule out presidential pardon for Libby." Of course, what they're actually referring to is the fact that the White House isn't answering any questions about the topic, including that one. They could just as easily have written "White House won't rule out kneecapping Fitzgerald," or, even better, "White House won't rule out firing Karl Rove." So let's patiently wait for that to be reported...
Further, "Voters take stand against... recruiting at schools." Once again, you have to read the context to discover that "taking a stand" doesn't involve actually "taking a stand" by doing something (i.e. "taking a stand") but rather by saying "Gee, I would've liked to have taken a stand, but I don't want to lose money." If that's what passes for "a stand," I'm going to take a stand against material possessions by throwing away everything I own, except in the cases where throwing it away would cause me to lose it.
