Best of the Web


Today's Best of the Web has a few good items.

Spaced Out
When someone says he's sane and everyone else is crazy, there's a good chance that it's actually the other way around. A case in point: Last October Dona Spring, a member of the Berkeley, Calif., City Council, described her town as "an island of sanity in terms of the war madness that has prevailed in this country." Now the council has passed a Spring-sponsored resolution declaring "that the space 60 kilometers [37 miles] and above the City of Berkeley is a space-based weapons free zone."

A Boy Named Jane?
It's primary day in Massachusetts, and most of the action is on the Democratic side, where four candidates are vying to run for governor against Republican Mitt Romney. In the headline of an AP dispatch on the race, CNN says that "Shannon O'Brien could become first woman governor." The third paragraph of the story reads: "The incumbent, Republican acting Gov. Jane Swift, is not running."

Wow -- that's sad -- CNN needs to proofread their stories better, eh? I hope what they meant was she'd be the first woman *elected* governor -- because Jane Swift wasn't elected . . . she got handed the Lt. Gov. job when Weld left and then got handed to Gov. job when Celluci left to be Ambassador to Canada. . .
