Newsweek's flubs...


I'm currently reading this week's Newsweek Magazine (July 7/July 14, 2008 issue) and I'm finding some interesting things.

First, on Page 37 in the right column titled "The Don't Bother States," the magazine lists Obama's and McCain's chances of winning a specific state. Under Obama, Newsweek lists Washington D.C. at 100%.

Except, Washington D.C. isn't a state.

Then on the next page, page 38, under "scorecard" they specify different physical characteristics that past president's have had and comparing them to the current candidates.

Under "Melanin," Newsweek writes:
An exclusive NEWSWEEK analysis has determined that 100 percent of our presidents have been white.


Well, no duh.
