Donner und blitzen, that guy had more aliases than Manji had inches in his rifles!

Also, the media makes two types of errors: The mistakes they'd realize after seeing them, and the errors that they wouldn't notice (Such as "Iraqis go to the polls to decide if Saddam gets re-elected")

Probably just a case of newsies typing too fast to proofread :D
