To the headline writer...not meaning to nit-pick, but it's spelled "straitjacket"
A straightjacket is a more restrictive restraint that is used with extremely combative patients.
That's not nitpicking at all. Grammar school errors have the effect of making people discount the whole article, and that's too bad. Boortz, whether he wrote the headline himself or not, should have caught it. "Strait" as in a narrow jacket -- the garments used in the pre-sensitive era to restrain the insane and prevent themselves from harming themselves or others -- not "straight."
The term ranks up there with "bellwether" and "bated breath" in the most frequently misspelled figure of speech category.
