FEMA's New Tabloid Status Is Unfortunate
I suppose it's common for biographies to be revised as new facts come to light. Such is the case with Michael Brown's. Unfortunately, everyone already knows about the discrepancy this time. Most people will only see it as one more underscoring of "too little, too late".
It's a good lesson though. If any of us takes a job and has any chance of making any mistakes-which would apply to all of us-we'd better make sure we at least keep our facts straight on our own resumes. And we'd better double-check anyone else's writings concerning our past. Words may not be actions, but they can still serve to bite any one of us on the butt.
