Correction
Rob Booth alerts me to this correction in the Comical (posted sometime after my usual early-morning check):
A photograph accompanying a story on the Chronicle Web site on Sept. 17 about a Bush political rally was given an inappropriate file name by one of the site’s copy editors. It came across as an editorial commentary on the subject, and such commentary has no place in our news coverage. The Chronicle regrets this error in judgment and apologizes to those offended by it.
I HATE non-apology apologies.
The apology should read, "The Comical regrets this error in judgment and apologizes."
The apology should not be simply to "those offended," but to all who rely on the newspaper as an allegedly objective source of news.
For those wondering, here's what led to the correction.

"The genesis of this unusual family began ..."
I would call this redundant prose.
