Newspaper Headline Heads Article

Once in a while I stumble across something that simply makes me guffaw. It is amazing sometimes how negligent some newspapers can been when they write their headlines. Here are some actual headlines published in some papers across America. I have included my favorites as well as the links to many more.

Fool me once … we can’t get fooled again.

I think it is safe to say that you can’t be an idiot and become President of the United States. You can however play a pretty convincing idiot on TV. Our President has said some pretty stupid things over his years in the White House. These quotes are often referred to as ‘Bushisms’.

The term ‘Bushism’ was coined by Jacob Weisberg in 1992 after George H.W. Bush made the following speech: “Remember Lincoln, going to his knees in times of trial and the Civil War and all that stuff. You can’t be. And we are blessed. So don’t feel sorry for — don’t cry for me, Argentina. We’ve got problems out there and I am blessed by good health, strong health. Jeez, you get the flu, and they make it into a federal case. Anyway, that goes with the territory.” That term has been passed down to his son.

One of my favorite George W. Bushisms is one that was made during a speach about the need for the United Nations to confront Iraq’s President Saddam Hussein, Bush told an audience at a school in Nashville, Tennessee:

“We’re trying to figure out how best to make the world a peaceful place.

There’s an old saying in Tennessee – I know it’s in Texas, it’s probably in Tennessee – that says, fool me once, shame on … shame on you. It fool me. We can’t get fooled again.”

The evidence suggests Mr Bush was trying to say: “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” After that he decided to keep it simple. The United Nations, he insisted, “must not be fooled”.

Foot Gloves? Finger Bracelets? Torso Pants?

Ok, let’s think about this one. If you put pants on your torso, then they would be . . . ridiculous! That is of course unless you were really talking about a t-shirt. These are some of the funniest and most clever t-shirts that I have ever laid eyes upon. Now I love a good t-shirt like the the rest of you, but I have never seen a site with so many “gotta haves” as this one.

So I am sure that you are thinking “this guy must own the site or get a kickback or something”. Absolutely not. I just thought you might find it fun.
