Inquirer Headline of the Day

A Mail-It-In Column Inspires Thoughts of a New Blog Feature

I KNOW things have been a little, ah, sparse around here, and I do intend to rectify that soon. Meantime, I couldn't let today go without a note about Karen Heller's Alycia Lane piece in today's Inquirer, whose headline was, I kid you not, "In local TV, sadly, looks are everything."

Make sure you buy next week's Inky, so that you can read:

  • "Among government workers, regrettably, effort is lacking"
  • "At Shore points, unfortunately, sunburn abounds"
  • "In baseball, lamentably, players scratch themselves" 

Picking on the Inquirer is rather a heartless sport, but I've noticed lately that the paper's headline writing has been pretty damn week. Wonder if I could find a new turkey each day ... S|C

Kind of like: Snow falls, clogging Delaware Valley roads.

We used to laugh...when I worked at the inquirer, right next to our desk, there were front pages of the Inky's when Philadelphia teams won championships. They all said "(TEAM) Wins, City Goes Wild!" Wow, who saw that coming?
