Good deed for the day

Andy Martin, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate here, fired off a letter to the U.S. Attorney General regarding President Obama's birth certificate, which Martin has spent time in Hawaii trying to access.
Martin questioned whether the president and his allies benefit politically by writing off as "cookie" those who question his citizenship.
Being a helpful journalist, I quickly emailed Mr. Martin to point out the term he probably meant to use was: "kooky."
He expressed his gratitude for the catch.
I must have had cookies on my mind. It was a Dan Quayle moment, enjoyed by all. The Daily Herald is always welcome to correct my spelling.
