    I read that headline earlier today, I thought, “Uh oh, what now?” After reading the blurb underneath, I just had to scratch my head and wonder who approved that choice of words for the headline.

    On the bright side a headline like this should definitely bring some change. I would think.

    Headlines should never assume anything … for instance here it assumes intellingence of a politician … which has been compromised for years probably. You all assumed it had something to do with the article below, but maybe it is a statement of fact?

  6. Headline writing is important in general… even in the blogosphere. How often do page titles come nowhere near to reflecting the actual content of the page; all in the name of some witty double entendre. In fact, I felt this article was going to be about headline writing. Alas, I was disappointed. Albeit a little amused. :)
