Careful reading

I glanced at Juan Cole's blog today, as I do almost every day, to catch up with the latest horrors and atrocities of George Bush's wars, and I saw the usual shocking headlines:

Twin Massive Bombings Target Awakening Leaders;
Thousands Protest Police Chief in Baquba;
Pipeline Bombing Causes Outages

And then, just as I clicked over to see what fresh hell Brad DeLong was explicating, out of the corner of my eye I saw: "Juan Cole is President."

Oops, what's that? Aren't we in the midst of a long national nightmare featuring a person with a different four-letter surname? And my razor-sharp mind doesn't seem to recall Professor Cole on that recent California ballot alongside Mike Gravel and Dennis Kucinich.

Click back. Look again. "Juan Cole is President of the Global Americana Institute."

Yes, the careful carpenter is right. Measure twice; cut once.
