Simple, no matter how dumb your screw up is, just throw a flag over your head and go down on the statue of liberty. You'll be fine.

Chris Anderson, editor of Wired and author of The Long Tail, recently raised some juicy issues about bringing a Media 2.0 sort of transparency to a Media 1.0 (okay, Media 1.4) "traditional" magazine like Wired. His proposals address questions that I, as a writer mainly in 1.0 venues like print…
I grew up with handy parents, and I learned some things from them - cooking, chopping wood, making do, but there were still things I missed out on. Even though my step-mother is a talented woodworker, I never learned. Even though she does plumbing repair, I didn't pay attention when I could have.…
On Tuesday, largely at the instigation of the Free-Ride offspring, the Free-Ride family went to Liberty Island to see the Statue of Liberty.
It was a brutally cold day (with temperatures around 20 oF), not the kind of day that I go out looking for a patriotism lesson. So I was pleasantly…
Today we need an example of something weirdly-shaped and electrically conductive. There's no shortage of such things, so we might as well go with the iconic. This is the Statue of Liberty:
It's made out of copper, which over the years has taken on a decidedly not-copper color due to chemical…
You're not allowed to flub? Everything you say has to be perfect? Well thank you for that, Mr. Particular. Now that I know how persnickity you are, I will refrain from proofing my comments henceforward just to rile you. :)
Ah, but it was such a funny flub. Definitely worth sharing for a good laugh.
What Greg hasn't included, but is equally funny, is that Obama said he had visited, "Fifty, ah, fifty seven states ..." Greg - you've got to put up that clip!
At least I've never wrapped myself in a flag because of a speling error!!!!!
I'll go find the clip of Obama now....
With this clip, McCain demonstrates just how much like George W Bush he really is.
"Fool me twice, you don't get fooled again."
The expressions on the faces of the people behind McCain are priceless.
I don't view this as a big deal either. I find it amusing for one reason: the look on his face after he finishes saying Senator Obama's supporters have been saying some pretty nasty things. He hears boos growing, and his face literally screams "Boy, the punch line is really gonna get 'em going." Then he muffs it, and back-scrambles in an attempt to get the moment back. Funny, but simply a gaff i speech.
I found his sucking up to the religious right, after he correctly condemned them, to be his first revolting action; it was then I began looking askance at his bid for the presidency.
