I know -- I am just really irritated at news reporting in general this week. York always does a good job but both Nelson's are supposedly on board -- one on both and the other one most likely on on cloture. Those are the kind of mistakes that you should doublecheck! It is knitpicking I know but thought you all should have the facts.

We had an editorial in our paper last fall that had daschle on board for the war on Iraq and he wasn't. I complained to our paper and their editorial board thanked me as they said they wanted to get all the facts straight. Maybe next time a writer will check out their facts! As the head of the Oklahoman said -- they pay people good money to get the facts right!

BTW I have two kids in journalism so I probably am more sensitive.

You're of course correct, but in the error of instant internet journalism, many times the articles are written at the site, as the interview is going on, and e-mailed directly and posted....so errors occasionally happen..like spelling mistakes that I make (g)..York is a good reporter, he probably knew what he wanted to say..it was a small brain lock.....but, you should e-mail him and "gently" chide him..he'll probably send you a coffee mug or a t-shirt.....regards
