I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, but this is an honest to god Washington Post correction:
A Nov. 26 article in the District edition of Local Living incorrectly said a Public Enemy song declared 9/11 a joke. The song refers to 911, the emergency phone number.
Really.
Update: I think I might have found the original article, and if so, it means that WaPo – institutionally – is the joke. And not the author. Will post more as I find it.

And also, will someone who actually reads this thing in paper send me a copy of the original in question? Because I’d really like to know the name of the author.
