Investors Business Daily attaches "editor's note" to article with Stephen Hawking flub in it.

Editors Note:

"Editor's Note: This version corrects the original editorial which implied that physicist Stephen Hawking, a professor at the University of Cambridge, did not live in the UK."

Oops...

Nevermind that their whole argument was undercut.

1. haha ha. They don't even mention him in this version.

It wasn't that the article implied he didn't live in the UK, its that the article said he would not receive care if he did live in the UK.

keep it honest, if you can, jerks.

2. No, you "implied" that living in the UK with his affliction would KILL him.

That's not just a mistake, that's a huge fatal flaw in your argument. Everything keeping Hawking alive today was put in place in his native England--under a UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE plan.
