Newspaper correction of the day:
A story on Page 1 of Tuesday's Telegraph quoted a White House official explaining that a Q-and-A session with dozens of teenagers in Nashua High School North on Monday was "off the record." However, the explanation about the talk being "off the record" was, it turns out, also "off the record" and should not have been quoted.(Via Radley Balko.)
Comic of the day: "Axecop" is a comic where the stories are invented by a 5-year old, then drawn by his 29-year old brother.
And don't miss "Ask Axecop", where the creator answers readers' questions!
