When I screw up, I really screw up

A couple of days ago I posted a faux-historical document called SISSIES ON PARADE.
By never making it clear that this was fictional---and in fact going out of my way to give the impression that it was an actual song from the WWII era---I caused good people to feel duped, mocked and betrayed. While it was never my intent, in the interest of "realistic sounding fiction" I crossed the line into outright fraud. I do sincerely apologize for this, I feel really horrible about it. Like such a stupid asshole...

Only now my very sincerity is suspect. What good is the apology of an asshole liar?

After so damaging my credibility, the only thing that might approximate a meaningful gesture was to deleted the piece, which I have done. It isn't much, but it was all I could think of. And I want you to know that this was my own doing and not an act of censorship on the part of Erin or any other BCTS staffer. Anyway the damage is done, and more along these lines from me isn't going to accomplish anything.
