Over in The Corner, there is a link to an AP article that suggests that Joe Biden thinks high fructose corn syrup is a greater threat to America than terrorism. The AP article is wrong on two counts. One, the question was:

Forgetting about the upcoming Iowa caucus for just a moment, which would you honestly say is more likely to contribute to the death of your average American: A terrorist strike or high fructose corn syrup or air with too much coal in it?

That’s not even close to how the AP reported it:

Biden, asked to rank the relative dangers of high fructose corn syrup, coal soot or a terrorist attack, chose corn syrup. “But that is not in any way to diminish the fact that a terrorist attack is real,” he added.

And two, Biden’s answer was air with too much coal in it, not corn syrup.
