Catch 22

.
I watched Catch-22 last night on TV. Remember Captain Major, who was promoted to Major Major?

Now we have Mikey Chertoff in New Orleans, appointing a Coast Guardsman to replace Brown from FEMA as the on-scene dude.

The article on CNN names him as follows:

“Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff named Coast Guard Vice Adm. Thad Allen to replace Brown.

“Allen had been directing efforts in New Orleans as Brown's acting assistant. Chertoff said he informed Allen Friday morning that he would take over the entire FEMA mission in the region.”

Then, CNN prints his picture, with this caption:

“Vice Adm. Thad Admiral tells reporters Friday that all agencies involved are working together.”

I sent CNN an email pointing out the error about 7 hours ago. It’s still on the web site.

I don’t have the patience to wait for them to get around to fixing it. If they can’t report it right, how do I know they got it right?
