    Conservative blogger Doug Ross issued a "One Krugerrand Fox News challenge" earlier this week.

    It seems though it has come down to semantics:

    Did Matt Gertz prove that Fox News repeated a lie?

    Well, if you want to get into semantics, he could also argue the word "Lie". Were they "lying" about the recruits at Harvard? The whole thing is open to debate, and I'm sure that's exactly what the guy wants.

    True, it's so petty when it gets down to a "poTAYto" vs. "poTAWto" kind of thing. Here are the rules Ross set out:

    I think Gertz satisfied the spirit of the challenge if not the letter of the challenge.

    I don't know if recruiters are allowed onto the campus without help/support, so I don't know if there was a ban or not.

    Could I just show up, unannounced, and set up a recruiting station on Harvard Law School's campus? Or would I need to get a permit or some sort of permission?

    Yummy! Haha.

    Although, to be fair to me, it IS law school we're talking about here. ;)
