* From the New York Times…
A correction was made on July 21, 2024:
An earlier version of this article misstated the state for which JB Pritzker is the governor. He is the governor of Illinois, not Ohio.
Oopsie.

I’m fairness to the grey lady, both of those states are west of the Hudson River. It’s easy to confuse things when you never leave mid-town Manhattan.

Haven’t had a paper subscription in years.
I miss them, but this is the reason why. The typos I see in news stories today make me cringe. My sixth grade English teacher wouldn’t abide them.

It’s one of those flyover states …

I read this in the original. Told my wife that he is so unknown nationally that they don’t know he is from Illinois. When we reopened the article, we saw this correction.

Cub reporter?
I think the quote of the day should be the vitriol that US Representative Mary Miller spewed upon learning that Mr. Biden turned down the nomination. We should never forget hate speech by people in positions of enormous power. It should define them for history.

Wire Points: Double Dipping? Pritzker denies also being governor of Ohio.

Knowing the New York Times, they’ll find a way to blame Biden for that typo.

Now wait, Illinois is a long way from Ohio. Both Midwestern states but vastly different. How does one get them confused?

“Wire Points: Double Dipping? Pritzker denies also being governor of Ohio.”
Funny stuff. Very funny.

Geography is hard - perhaps they were confused
Ohio is a village in Bureau County, Illinois, United States. The population was 465 at the 2020 census.[2] It is part of the Ottawa Micropolitan Statistical Area.
