The Daily Show with Jon Stewart quite rightly went after blogs (like this one) on their histrionic headlines. And I'll cop to it, a little bit. There does seem to be an amped up language in both conservative and liberal blog headlines. It's more exaggeration to grab eyeballs than anything else, and when I do it, I almost always own up to it in my first sentence! From now on though, I'll try to scale back on the rhetoric. It
does look silly.
EDITOR'S NOTE: I am aware that the blog has been top-heavy with MSNBC and Comedy Central clips (and videos in general) of late. Sorry about that. It is a shortcut and it has to do with having been very busy the last few days. But trust me, this is all good stuff!
