Editor's Note: I'm in the process of moving this week. Thus, the light posting. Here's something quick to chew on.
How many times can the mainstream media screw up Barack Obama's name? It's not like "s" and "b" are in close proximity on the keyboard, folks. So why does this keep happening? Hmm. Could it be Barack is already on a boat going to Howard Dean land?
From Greg Sargent on TPM Cafe:
Oh, man -- first CNN, now Yahoo News. As you know, CNN has apologized to Barack Obama for putting his name on a picture of Osama Bin Laden. Now Yahoo News has committed the opposite blunder: On their photo page, the caption on their photo of Obama reads, "Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida."
The subject heading above the photo of Obama is still "Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida" -- which is pretty funny, especially considering that off to the right, you can see a link to a story about CNN making the same mistake. But hey, at least on this one they got the caption right.
You've got to see this to understand the depth of the blunder:
Obama Been Screwed
