Crimes of journalism, including but not limited to sex, trends and really white subheads

"HAVE A NICE LIFE." It's no "Joe Goes Bananas," but it still might be the Herald Headline of the Year. And it certainly made up for the surprising lack of sizzle in the tabloid's Neil Entwistle trail coverage. Christening the guy the "Bizarre Brit"? Reminding everybody that dude owned a computer made by Toshiba? We expected more. Seriously. What a waste of a dead baby.

Irish eyes are averting their eyes

Congrats to the Herald on their stunning Hey everybody—here's some terrifying news! mashup from Sunday. Tomato salmonella? Sucks. Gas prices? Suck.

It made my thighs slightly stronger and the ball of rage in my stomach significantly heavier. It made me wonder how the Dems would run a country, when they can't credential a reporter. But last night I found the magic booth and got onto the floor, so all is forgiven.
