Award winner for “Most Ironic Sequential Headline”, from today’s Wall Street Journal “What’s News” section:
"Kerry and Bush celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling in separate speeches. The presidential rivals both said the country has fallen short of ensuring equal opportunity.
Bush renewed his call for Congress to pass a constitutional amendment banning gay marraiges as same-sex couples began to exchange wedding vows in Massachusetts."
Back-to-back. I shit you not.
My favorite “Wrap your mind around this Headline and see what slips through the cracks” blurb, also from WSJ a while back:
“Britain tasted smuggling’s brutality last week when 19 press-ganged Chinese migrants drowned in a fast Irish Sea tide as they dug for cockles.”
There is more going on in that one sentance than a pre-school on Meth. Sometimes I read the news and just mutter to myself, “What the F^@#, over?”
Overheard in the public restroom: “That’ll leave a skidmark all the way to the treatment plant!”
