Correction

Last week, I wrote a sentence that was clearly false: "Some ideas are just too stupid to live."

I am bombarded by the minute with counterexamples:

• Bush is a good president.
• We're winning in Iraq.
• Saddam Hussein was a threat to the US.

and so on, all obviously nonsensical ideas which nontheless continue to thrive. Bob's Links and Rants regrets the error.
