Too funny not to steal

| 1 TrackBack

The L.A. Times has probably taken more lumps than it deserves over the changing of "pro-life" to "anti-abortion" in an opera review. (See LAT's anti-abortion opera). What looks to be a brain spasm on deadline by a single overly literal, probably overworked copy editor has been spun into a vast PC conspiracy. But -- this barb from Friday by James Taranto at the Wall Street Journal's conservative blog Opinion Journal gave me a chuckle.

Meanwhile, did you hear about the dyslexic L.A. Times editor who changed the name of John F. Kennedy's book to "Anti-Abortions in Courage"?
