Today’s Headlines, behold the irony

iconSome days I look at the collection of headlines on the news feeds and well my head just starts to hurt( maybe it’s the heat)

For example:

America Is Becoming Less Christian, Less Religious yet…Experts: Churches need a security plan

Obama Says Government Will Not Open the Door for Human Cloning( from my BFF’s at FOX)but hey! Speaking of cloning and molded plastic Barbie is 50, how glam and fab!

Octomom Nadya Suleman’s former publicist calls her ‘greedy,’ ‘nuts’ and yet she’s getting free nursing…

but wait I thought U.S. healthcare system pinched by nursing shortage

Oh and then there is this, andResearch Finds Chimps Can Plan Stockpiling, Use of Weapons hands down two best news stories of the day.

Weirdness in your news feed, do tell.

    To comment seriously, “Hope and Change’ is a phrase that Obama doesn’t use himself, it’s used by his opponents, some of the more crude ones, to malign him. The fact that the DCCC picked that shows they are incredibly out of touch. If they pick that, Limbaugh will just get a kick out of it.

    People make fun of Obama with this one:

    “Hope and change cannot be Rush’d”

    Hope and change has kinda become a joke. Why did they pick this one? I swear you can’t trust the Democrats to be cool for too long.

    Did y’all hear the 911 call when octomom thought one of her kids had wondered away a few months ago? It turns out the kid went with his grandmother or something. I think anyone in their right mind would be upset not knowing where his or her child is, however, she seemed to be faking it, acting too dramatic.

    Anyway, this woman is clearly mentally unstable.

    nevermind that i think that rush billboard thing is the lamest idea ever, but could they have picked out 5 weaker slogans then these?

    “Americans didn’t vote for a Rush to failure”

    “Hope and change cannot be Rush’d”

    “Failure is not an option for America’s future”

    “We can fix America, just don’t Rush it”

    “Rush: Say yes to America”

    god jab a fork in my eye

    The NY Post has the world’s best headlines.

    I remember when Spitzer got busted and the headline was “Ho No!”, when Sam Waksal was convicted it was, “Waksal the Floors!”

    I keep asking for the book of the best Post headlines for X-mas or B-day (April 15, BTW) but no one listens to me.

    I agree with my heroes assessment – headline writers are the true artists.

    His and my favorite – Elvis Statue Found On Mars

    Another great one – Vultures Attack and Eat Corpse at Funeral
