At this rate...
The New York Times will soon consist primarily of corrections.
Update: That wild man of the web, Tim T, addresses some other newspaper errors.
It's shocking, just shocking, to hear that the New York Times has been acting the goat on this story about goats, and I hope they're all feeling like goats. We need them to clean up their act so they can be the goat-to newspaper again, and not just bleat in unison with the rest of the media, I say.
Sorry about the terrible puns.
Anyway, this post - and that Power Line post - were, well, not the inspiration, but maybe the excuse, for this piece on my blog.
Perhaps I should switch from "The Greatest Cat Litter In The World" (yep, that's the real name) to the Times. Easily shredded. Probably just as flushable as the current litter, although not corn based.

ReplyDeleteWill this never end?
Our pet Australian bearded dragon, Lucy, seems to prefer the New York Times as her cage-liner (so soft and absorbent!)
