Recently, there's been a bit of a brouhaha in the news about a Miss Teen USA 2007 contestant stumbling over what should have been a simple geography/education question (watch the video in all its schadenfreude glory).  This kind of slow news day reporting is not terribly interesting in and of itself, but it got me thinking about Mike Tyson.

It was in his eyes. David Carr knew he had to get the ball to Andre Johnson when he saw that look. &quot;When number 80&#39;s out there and we make eye contact,&quot; Carr explained, &quot;there&#39;s a very good chance that I&#39;ll throw him the football.

Miguel de Icaza, in this weblog entry says, "Facts barely matter when they get in the way of a good smear. The comments over at Groklaw are interesting, in that they explore new levels of ignorance." This comment rings especially true of his weblog entry. For example, Miguel states... We have been working on OpenOffice.Org for longer than anyone else has. We were some of the earliest contributors to OpenOffice, and we are the largest external contributor to actual code to OpenOffice than anyone else. Say what?  Who created OpenOffice? Who bought it?  Who opened it?  Anyone ever hear of Star Division gmbh or Sun?  Since when did Novell become the earliest contributor to OpenOffice.org?  The earliest and largest external contributor, maybe.  I'd like to see some hard facts to back up an assertion like that (not that facts matter, as Miguel admitted), but his hyperbolic boasting of Novell's contribution is obviously overblown.
