...National Institute of Agricultural Research (INRA) has developed a type of DNA analysis to distinguish French fungi from Chinese without a taste test. Although French regulations call for a truffle's origins to be clearly marked, truffle experts say many vendors either ignore the rules or engage in outright mislabeling. France's fraud-control directorate carries out random DNA testing to flush out faux-truffle dealers. Anyone caught intending to deceive the consumer with a Chinese truffle may be fined $1,300. Still, there are few inspectors and many truffles. "If the consumer is properly informed that they are eating...
Coulter has a reputation for carelessness with facts, and if you Google the words "Ann Coulter lies," you will drown in results. But I didn't find many outright Coulter errors. One of the most popular alleged mistakes pinging around the Web is from her appearance on Canadian TV news in January, when Coulter asserted that "Canada sent troops to Vietnam." Interviewer Bob McKeown said she was wrong. "Indochina?" Coulter tried. McKeown said no. Finally, Coulter said haltingly, "I'll get back to you."

...outright fraud, the process of drafting a federal budget has become an exercise in creative writing.

Said the President: "The American people are not--repeat, not--going to tolerate intimidation, terror and outright acts of war against this nation and its people. And we are especially not going to tolerate these attacks from outlaw states run by the strangest collection of misfits, Looney Tunes and squalid criminals since the advent of the Third Reich." The President singled out as assailants the governments of Iran...
P.A.N. officials charged the ruling party with stuffing ballots and outright altering of the election totals. P.A.N. supporters also faced obstacles as they tried to vote. In the Sonora capital, Hermosillo, where P.A.N. won a 1982 municipal election, the number of polling stations was reduced. In the town of Guaymas, 100 of 180 P.A.N. poll watchers were refused certification. In other places, unidentified men carried off the ballot boxes long before the election was over...
