LAZY JOURNALISTS, CON’TD: Tom Maguire reports that the wreath-laying-on-Jefferson-Davis’s-Birthday story is bogus, but it’s in Dowd’s column. Meanwhile, Charles Johnson’s parody Arab-News network is getting continued play for its parody story complaining that the last space shuttle mission was the first step in “Israeli occupation of outer space.”

Don’t these guys check anything? Stay in Big Media, Mo — you’d never make it in the blogosphere.

UPDATE: Meanwhile, Orrin Judd asks, “does anyone edit the Post?“ What’s a paltry $1.8 trillion error among friends?
