An Obamanation

[schatze]

Perhaps I would have been more compelled to vote if I had predicted the "Bar-rage" of sweet puns that have already been milked from the swollen teet of our new president's name.

I, for one, couldn't be prouder of our paper's front page today.

Oh I do so love it when you wax lyrical....

Haha once in an editing class in the Journalism school at CU I wrote what I thought was the worst headline ever, a pun as cheezy as that one, so bad that I chuckled when I wrote it and said to myself I don't care about my grade anymore I just wanna get this done. I wish I could remember what the headline actually was; it was something that had the word "art" in it, which was vaguely what the story was about, but the rest of the wordplay was unrelated to the story.

Turns out the teacher, who was a real headline writer for the Daily Camera, helpd it up as the "best headline in the class" for that assignment. I was pretty taken aback. I'm getting the sense they just really love puns and if you can find one, their standards are pretty low.

I never thought "British push bottles up Germans" was really an accident

In other news, why the hell is that a front page story? That is so not front page news. Like, in my high school some kids started an "initiative" to paint the school new colors, which was just about as intensive as this one, and it didn't even make the high school paper let alone the Rocky. The school's name is not actually getting changed so this shouldn't matter. What the eff.

Maybe I should alert them to my pending facebook name change to "Sugartits McGuinty."
