The Altantic's Bravest**

** Wherein New York's Bravest is the moniker for the Dept. of Corrections, this is my weekly corrections column.

1. In a post today, I miswrote the first name of Rudy Giuliani's director of strategy. He is Brent Seaborn, not Jason Seaborn. Although he looks like a Jason.

2. In a post Tuesday, I wrote that Mitt Romney placed second in a 2003 straw poll. That's incorrect: the correct year was 2006. I should know; I ran the straw poll. Incidentally, Romney did place second in a 2003 straw poll -- it was at the Northern Liberal Leadership Conference. KIDDING. Just Kidding, Romney campaign. Late Friday humor, not funny, move on.

3. At some point below, I mispelled the last name of Jay Garrity, the Romney aide who's taken a leave of absence. Hope I'm not arrested.

4. In an early version of a post about the 1992 election, I somehow had it in my head that Arkansas featured a large population of black Democrats. The truth, as I knew, of course, but was brought to the fore of my attention by a competitor, is that Arkansas has the highest percentage of white voters of all the Southern states.

Apologies for all these errors.
