One could say better late than never. One hundred and fifty years ago, give or take a few days, Lincoln delivered his Gettysburg Address.
A local Pennsylvania paper was
not impressed.
We pass over the silly remarks of the President. For the credit of the nation we are willing that the veil of oblivion shall be dropped over them and that they shall be no more repeated or thought of
As they never said then, "whoopsy!"
This week the same paper finally got around to a
retraction.
In the same vein, we can look forward to about the Spring of 2153 when the remnant of the
Washington Post, which no longer is publish in the District of Columbia --as its under water, has Zombie Fred Hiatt do the same for supporting the invasion of Iraq. In between editorials about the need to cut Social Security and Medicare and supporting the latest possible war.
