Federal Judiciary

Disclaimer of the Day

For those of you who have not yet had the pleasure, check out Writ Large, the new blog by the Chicago Tribune's Jim Oliphant.

In his most recent post, Oliphant recounts watching PBS with his young daughter when he came across a curious public service announcement. The ad encouraged parents to read to their kids, hardly controversial. However, the PSA also included the following disclaimer:

The contents of this [ad] were developed under a grant from the Department of Education. However, its contents do not necessarily represent the policy of the Department of Education, and you should not assume endorsement by the Federal Government.

Priceless. Your Department of Education: unnecessarily covering its ass since 1980.
