The following correction is from the Los Angeles Times, Feb. 10th edition.

An editorial Saturday about children's literature and cartoons erroneously stated that James Dobson of Focus on the Family declared that SpongeBob SquarePants is a homosexual sponge. Instead, in a speech last month, Dobson criticized as pro-homosexual a tolerance video featuring SpongeBob, Big Bird and others.

I don't know who on the editorial staff was tasked with typing those two soul-draining sentences, but if I ever find out, I'll buy that person a beer. Because even if it's years later, they'll probably still need one.

Much to my own embarrassment, I also have a correction to make.

For the Record: The journalistic alma mater of 'Jeff Gannon', where Mr. Gannon studied journalism in an intensive two-day, all-meals-included course costing a full fifty dollars, is in fact known as the Leadership Institute Broadcast Journalism School and not, as I had previously referred to it, the Morton C. Blackwell Institute of Media Whorticulture.
