An Ocean Tale

The AP has done another fine job of investigative reporting. Apparently the lady who supposedly swam across the Atlantic Ocean last week made up most of the story. You can read the article here. The author of the piece said "a few seconds of thought and a pocket calculator" could have disproved the woman's claim.

Perhaps with all the budget cutbacks the AP has either run out of calculators or people who can operate them. As for reporters, we know they ran out of them years ago.
