What is funnier than a typographical error on the front page of the N Y Times Dot Com, the Tumblr of Record? It's great, because they're like, "Hey, we're the New York Times, we're the best, feed me caviar," and then they screw up and everyone chuckles for two seconds. Today they posted a TimesCast video about how a Super PAC was planning to personally attack Obama, and what could better complement that story than
Meh. Brooks sucks, of course, in major fashion. But your url is blah.<strong>blogs</strong>.nytimes.com, where editorial control is at its weakest.
Brooks appears to be entirely unaware of the meaning of &quot;gotcha&quot;. He also appears to find it impossible to believe that the same individual can be kind sometimes but cruel others, despite voluminous evidence from all walks of life that this isn&#039;t only possible, but true to varying degrees of pretty much every person that ever lived. His core argument is so terribly weak (essentially boiling down to &quot;this story contradicts my preconceived notions of Romney, so I don&#039;t like it&quot;) that he really damages his position more than he advances it. In that regard, Brooks is much more like a Mets reliever than a centerfielder.
Of course, the Times <em>pays</em> for this weakass pablum, along with that of Thom Friedman and Ross Douchehat so screw them.
Yeah that &quot;Reagan&#039;s true nature&quot; thing stuck in the craw. Maybe he should ask the people of Tripoli, or Beirut, or Grenada, or Nicaragua what they thought of Reagan&#039;s true nature? Maybe he should ponder for a moment what kind of person would veto the Comprehensive Anti-Apartheid Act.
Make no mistake...there&#039;s a lot about Obama I don&#039;t like. Forget about that for a second. For all of the disappointments I have, I feel bad for the dude. Not in my lifetime has a president had to endure a fucking cartload of shit that he didn&#039;t deserve than Barry. Feet on the desk...uppity wife...bowing to heads of state. Fuck all...the dude has caught such a tsunami of shit that I can&#039;t help but support him. (Full disclosure...come November, I will more likely be voting <i>against</i> Rmoney than for Barry). But, if Barry should win, I am going to laugh so loud that people across the reach from me will wonder what is so funny. Take that you willfully ignorant twits...you bigots, you blind haters. A black man is going to have a second term and THERE IS FUCK ALL YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT...unless you want to stage your little revolution or something else pointless. Funny thing about revolutions: Folks tend to care more about paying their bills and sending their kids to college than whether or not a Kenyan, Communist, Socialist, Nazi, Abortionist Black Man is at the helm.
I am going to fucking laugh my guts out at you, come November.

Folks, a low-paid layout editor is given a news budget for his or her section (news budget is what&#039;s left after the ad space, which pays salary to low-paid layout editor and others) and has to quickly decide what stories will go where, leaving space for upcoming stories known to be in the works, or just in case of something big. To check the available space for hedes a fake head is often written (usually the whole page is generated via Quark or InDesign if not the few proprietary systems and goes directly to printing plate or even press in rare instances.) such as <i>Pithy Quote from Columnist Often Filled With Keen Insight</i>. Or in this case a photo is pulled in from the server and sized to fit the available space and also given a quick caption by the editor to indicate space available. In the old days when I worked at the Austin American-Statesman in the composing room one editor once famously signed off on her pages (business section) with the notation: &quot;OK with type and art&quot;. The only thing on the pages were the ads and she just hoped whoever was going to paste up the galleys and art for her got it right.
The Austin American-Statesman was also responsible for printing the New York Times under contract. About 10pm CST the pages were broadcast via satellite to regional papers where a fancy machine printed out the plates ready to be slapped on the press. Quite often the front page (A1) had either crooked hedes, articles, typos, etc. because it was after all the national edition and just had to be sent out. The home, or local, edition would receive more care, both because that one would be most criticized plus there was more time after the national went out.
So what I&#039;m trying to say is it&#039;s an absolute miracle there aren&#039;t more typos like this. Photographers are notorious for there horrible ability to write good captions and they&#039;re often misspelled. All this goes through a harried copy editor (or someone designated by them) and there&#039;s never enough time to really get it done properly. Especially due to the sports department but any way.
Yeah, now that it&#039;s been revealed to be fucking stupid, it wasn&#039;t anything to do with him, honest.
He wasn&#039;t the &quot;author&quot; of the proposal, he merely commissioned it. He didn&#039;t &quot;fund&quot; it, he just formed a funded a SuperPAC which did. Mr. Ricketts rejects that approach to politics, except when he said McCain should&#039;ve pursued it and lost because he didn&#039;t (shyeah, right). It wasn&#039;t a &quot;plan to be accepted&quot;, just a storyboard pending approval for production into a video. Fucking lies, all of it.

Yes, the four letter sequence with which it starts is infamously disallowed wherever it appears.
