Due to an editing error, the “Campaign $$” chart accompanying last week’s article “The November Election” indicated that congressional candidate Larry Joe Doherty loaned himself $100,000 in the April-June quarter. In fact, Doherty loaned himself that money last year, and the loan should have been noted in the “Cash on Hand” column instead.

In “Point Austin,” a quotation from Jeremy Scahill should have read, “I’m not asking you to divorce Obama, just to cheat on him with a little bit of conscience.” A tip of the blog to Rachel Farris of Mean Rachel.
