When Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death, the first place I looked was to the local New York tabloids for the best headlines. Puns are a bit of a competition between the two, but I think with Sunday's announcement, both papers on Monday morning were equal winners:
New York Post: "Good Noose!" (complete with Photoshop image of Saddam's floating head in cartoon hanging noose)
New York Daily News: "Next Stop: HELL!"
I think Post went with the more subtle pun, but Daily News' audacity had me laughing in the aisles of a bodega for something around 20 seconds, hence they both win.
Also, I would just like to remind everyone that tomorrow is Election Day. And while some of you, including myself, may think that choosing between Ben Nelson and a Republican for Senator is a bit like picking between STDs, I say: remember that some STDs can kill you. Better just go with the slightly irritating rash, no?
You can blame it on Mike Foley.

I met Ben Nelson at a high priced Meet n' Greet. He is the king of shmooze. We speed dated for a little while, but when he went in for the kiss, I paid a high priced lobbyist to finish up.

I honestly think I like the first one better, I had to read it twice.
