Mea Culpa—That’s Latin for, “Boy Did I Screw Up”

Okay, I’m going to have to go with a correction on yesterday’s blog (That John Mica—He’s Such a Tool!) thanks to the eagle eyes of blog reader Kevin Cleary.  It seems that the numbers on revenues lost during the recent FAA shutdown are so mind-boggling that I mentally multiplied that actual damages as I was writing.  The real numbers are bad enough, but I made millions into billions and billions into trillions.  That is an unforgivably sloppy mistake on my part, and for which I apologize to my audience.

I shall endeavor to do better in the future.

At any rate, the corrections are posted.  If you stopped by to view the original, you might want to go back and check out the corrected figures.

Again, my apologies.
