Is the LAT this sloppy?

Please tell me that David "Consumer Confidential" Lazarus didn't actually begin his column this morning with the words, "If past history is any measure..." (really makes you want to dive into the piece, eh?). And while we're at it, please tell me that a sentence in a Calendar section story doesn't start off with, "While a writers strike would effect TV production almost immediately..." We all know that standards at that place have nose-dived, but are things really this bad? At least the Calendar folks corrected their error for the online posting (that is if you can ever find the online posting). As for "past history," it's still up there.

Seven or fifteen minutes from now I can definitively say I didn't hear the sound of sirens.
