Oooops, better use spell check!
By Lauren LafaroEveryone makes typos — hence that handy spell check feature — but what happens when spell check fails you?
Ask the AFL-CIO. It sent out a piece of direct mail on behalf of Jeff Merkley that could have used a little copy-editing.
Merkley is “strenthening” our economy and has helped to write economic development “propsals.”

Quote of the Day
October 7, 2008
"Gordon Smith has not been a leader on this issue. The only time he led was when it was time to take credit."
- Matt Canter, spokesman for Democratic senatorial candidate Jeff Merkley, on why the campaign doesn't believe U.S. Sen. Gordon Smith (R) deserves as much credit as U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D) and U.S. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D) for reauthorization of county timber payments.

Oops--What's "toting"?
What's with your upper-left headline,"Smith * * *toting * * *."? Toting? How about "touting," or do you really mean he's carrying something in a "tote"?
tot·ing
1. the practice of taking home food from an employer by a person engaged in domestic service.
2. the food so taken.
[Origin: 1855–60, Americanism; tote1 + -ing1]
