Yes, But do Some People Call Him Maurice?

I can not resist posting this headline from the Daily Mail.

Bush branded ‘cowboy of space’ after decision to shoot down malfunctioning satellite

How can you read that headline and not hear Steve Miller’s voice in your head?

I submit that, pace James Lileks, you can only do so if “cowboy of space” gives you another image entirely.

Funny stuff. Someone ought to get word to the editors of the Daily Mail that it’s best if headline writers have at least an ear for pop culture. It won’t get them laughed at quite as much.
