Iceberg, Goldberg, what's the difference?
A reader wrote me with the following update:
"It's Joe Galloway. Not Gallagher."
Correct.
I'm going to go on down to the local truck stop and turn five dollar tricks in the parking lot until I get back my sense of self esteem.
Tulg a mach,
Jason

Sometimes it takes an enlisted man to keep an officer on his toes. Having said that, I'll beat my face for embarrassing an officer on his own blog :)

Apparently, those names are easy to confuse. At least you're not the first.
The influential science fiction writer of the 1930s, Stanley G. Weinbaum, wrote a series of stories about an inventor. In the first story, he was referred to throughout as "Galloway." In the second story, he was referred to throughout as "Gallagher." After SF fans wrote in to point out the error, Weinbaum referred to him in subsequent stories as "Galloway Gallagher."
Maybe you could claim that Joe Galloway's middle name is Gallagher.
