In my most recent blog, on explaining Obama, there are several errors, particularly at least two places where I have left important words out. I have made similar errors in a couple of other blogs. In some cases, I have caught them—or others have—quickly enough to remove the original blog and replace it with a corrected one.
The errors have been a result of trying to write something quickly on recent events and, I must admit, trying to rush into print before others do. That’s my excuse, but it isn’t good enough. I will have to do a better job of proofing in the future.

I recall a story about a lawyer who defended an otherwise indefensible tenant by showing that the landlord had omitted the word "not" in the lease in a place where it claimed to have intended it.
In a lease words really matter, sometimes. In a blog essay, not so much.
We all edit in haste and repent at leisure. You are not alone
We knew what you meant. Thanks so much for your writings.
