Dog gone was gently pointing out that in the original version of this column, I had written the sentence you are quoting, getting my math wrong as to the number of months till the presidential inauguration. Thanks to him I had it fixed here and at NewsBusters.
I knew after you fixed it, that I was gonna be hanging out there.
If there's a next time, I'd probably be better advised to point out a problem using Freepmail. ;-)
