The Los Angeles Times has a brilliant "typo" in their recent article about the Obama/McCain debate plans being uncertain:

Okay, I'm a big Hillary supporter, and like most of her supporters I believe she should stay in to the end ( Read more... )

I posted this on a message board in a discussion about Hillary and Obama and the idea of universal healthcare. Thought it should be reposted here, since I don't do enough political stuff on here. Some of this will be review for those of you who know me, but it's interesting nonetheless ( Read more... )
