Let's pretend it's yesterday...





















Three pages of inspiration for you. From Wednesday.
First we have Bluffton Today with the headline we all wished we could write.
The Daily Reflector has a good example of short form at the top of 1A.
And my favorite, The Opelika-Auburn News with a new twist on the overdone iPod homages. Plus you should all be aware of the story they're covering because, like gas prices, it sucks. CNET News has a good story and graphic about which states are charging tax for music downloads.

State legislatures and tax officials, eager to find new ways to boost government spending and curb budget shortfalls, are eyeing the burgeoning market for digital downloads as a potentially lucrative source of revenue.
A CNET News.com analysis shows that 15 states and the District of Columbia now tax downloads of music, movies and electronic books. Some high-tax states such as California do not levy the same charge on iTunes downloads, but that could soon change.

As my high school chemistry teach was fond of informing his classes, things do not actually "suck," but rather create an area of lower pressure into which air rushes in order to equalize the pressure.
Or so I seem to remember when I wasn't falling asleep or discoing through labs. (I was quite the cocky boy genius/sumbitch)

Good science, but a poor headline. "Sucks" is probably more efficient.

Good illo, though.
