I noted it in my weekly dish for the New York Sun and Washington Times today but it behooves me to note it here as well. I linked recently to a Time piece claiming that president Bush reinstituted a practice of laying a wreath at the Confederate Monument in Alrlington. I asked why the administration would do such a thing. Well, they didn’t. Sorry to link to something that wasn’t true. Now let’s all wait to see if Maureen Dowd will retract a more serious error – actually claiming it was true. Or are we supposed to treat Modo’s pieces as fiction anyway?
CARTOON TIME: About “bug-chasing.” I’d like to reiterate the point I made in Salon: I’m not saying that this issue shouldn’t be looked into thoroughly. And I’m not saying we shouldn’t be concerned about rates of HIV infection among gay men. I’m just saying we need to do so factually and responsibly.
