My evil genius pal Alex points out this headline. It took me an embarrassingly long moment to realize just how funny it was, but then it clicked and I realized the thing was worthy of Fletch.
The Daily Mail has a headline that’s just as funny, but for different reasons. (Be warned: the page linked to there includes a picture which while technically Safe For Work, is definitely not anything you want to see.) I can’t believe that heads of state actually have time to care about this.
Meanwhile, there’s a great story going on in Columbia, albeit on that probably won’t end well. I’m sure the MSNBC people think that story came with a great headline, but I prefer the one my friend Kira suggests: Lysistrata Redux. (I wonder what percentage of the MSNBC audience would need annotations for that title.)
And, of course, a very large percentage of the headlines between now and the mid-term elections will boil down to this.
