Great Moments in Headline History
Paging Mr. Headline Editor. Mr. Headline Editor, report to the revision desk, please. Jackson’s death ruled a homicide by coroner The police should have this one wrapped up by the end of the day, what with the suspect so handily working for the county, in close proximity to the police and all.
Keep Your Hands off my Vending Machines, You Damned Dirty Bureaucrats!
Really, Washington? You really don’t have enough to do that you feel it necessary to stick nutritional information on vending machines?
