Keeping count

The Wall Street Journal's collection of briefs from the Democrat convention contains this interesting tidbit about the party's platform.

This is interesting

A new scenario regarding the Berger pilfering incidents. I'm not sure what I think of all of this. Berger's contention that his actions were simply a result of "sloppiness" doesn't hold water.
