A Blow To The Head of UK Times' Tom Baldwin

Merry Christmas to the legion of fact-checkers and editors at the UK Times. Maybe they should add a second-grader to the staff:

A blow to the honour of Washington family

Tom Baldwin

A direct descendant of George Washington was held last night in a New York jail, facing extradition to France on charges that he beat a man into a coma with a bottle.

George Washington didn't have any direct descendants.

Oh, they meant a different George Washington.

Having lived in the UK I quickly learned that their media, both electronic and print, will never pass up a chance to take a shot at America. The funny part about this is that readily report that the guy's life is a "web of lies", leaving little wonder where they got the idea about his lineage.

The best thing about many of the papers in the UK is that they are sometimes still useful for wrapping up fish and chips. The Daily Telegraph was an exception.

Tom Baldwin's a poop-flinging imbecile with a wad of encysted hair where his brain should be.
