Google Diane Tubeless

and you will find that AP picked up the story and the misspelling of her name and now it is appearing in MSM in scores of other cities, such as the San Francisco Chronicle. Maybe this says something about the state of jounalism today. One might think that someone, like a copy editor, might question whether the last name of "Tubeless" could be correct, but I guess not.

Now, I can almost excuse out of state media for not questioning it, but it is "Tubeless" on KOMO TV's web page http://www.komotv.com/stories/43651.htm

Tubeless ran across a spike strip on CNN vs Pelz

... in what should have been a favorable forum for her side of the immigration debate (Lou Dobbs show).
