Headlines, that is. I glance at the headlines at Google News, and many of them seem to be too surreal to be anything but Onion stories: “Bush reclaims power after colonoscopy” “Policians mourn porn king” Those are two I gaped at just today. Have you all seen any other headlines lately that made you do a double take? ---
