"Mistakes Were Made."

Oops! You gotta love the old "clerical error":

Allstate's 1,100 insurance agents in Florida are still in business, thanks to a mistake by a Florida appeals court.

Less than an hour after issuing an order denying Allstate's appeal of a state-ordered suspension, the 1st District Court of Appeal withdrew it late Monday afternoon.

In a terse statement withdrawing its order, the court said it was issued due to clerical error. The original order would have prevented Allstate's agents from writing new business in Florida, but would not have affected existing policies.

How does this compare to Chief Judge Moreno's recent clerical error?

These poor overworked, underpaid clerks, none of the glory and all of the blame....
