washington times flub

On Shabbat, Eli and I walked to the White House and back. We had no clue what the big news of the day was until we passed a Washington Post machine and saw the headline "Saddam Hussein put to death."

Later, we passed a Washington Times vending machine and saw that, not surprisingly, their headline had an editorial slant.
"Saddam Pays at End of Rope." A few inches below that they had unintentionally put an incongruous headline: "Six Days of Mourning Begin." For Gerald Ford, of course.
