Today, however, the [LA] Times out-did itself. In the For the Record section devoted to these little mea culpas, they had 13 separate items, and nearly all of them are worth sharing. When people ask me why I continue to subscribe to the paper, my answer is that no matter how bad the news is, the Times will generally find a way to make it amusing. They started out slowly this morning, simply acknowledging that in a story about the Metrolink crash, they had confused Mount Washington with Cypress Park. They next confessed that the mountain from which Moses is believed to have viewed the Promised Land was really Mt. Nebo, not Mt. Nemo. An honest mistake. They simply confused a Biblical mountain with an animated fish.
Read the rest, it's excellent.
