We have learned that our recent description of San Francisco-based Wall Street Journal reporter Vauhini Vara as an "ostensibly sober type" was wholly incorrect. Several reliable sources have informed us that we should not have used the word "sober" in the same sentence as Vara's name. Vauhini, please accept Valleywag's heartfelt apologies for the unforgivable error.
