I'll have to reign you in if you loose again!

Local media roundup:

The secret lovechild that Wes Unseld and Donald Rumsfeld don’t want you to know about: “Donald Rumseld.” Nice work, Washington Times-Herald!

Minus 5 points to the Bedford Times-Mail’s Bob Bridge for getting on the “Michigan got screwed” bandwagon about a week after most sportswriters. Plus 100 points to the Bedford Times-Mail’s Bob Bridge for using the phrase “shot its wad” in said article.

The Evansville Courier had an Onion-sidebar-worthy headline splashed across the front page of its print edition this past Sunday: “Report: Trouble ahead.” Oh, pleasepleaseplease let it be on their website …….. yes!

Newspaper writes headline: In an effort to convey as little specific information as possible at a glance, the Seymour Tribune continues its long tradition of high-school-newspaper-level “Subject-verb-object” headlines.

A warning to all parents of teenage boys in Jackson County: Tell your sons to stay away from those Crothersville girls – they’re “fast”! I expect the next headline about them to read “Crothersville girls loose.” Will it mean they’re "fast," “relaxed and ready to go,” or would it actually mean that they lost, but the headline writer confused “lose” and “loose”? (Bonus points to the author of the article linked in the last sentence: he not only used “loose” twice when he meant “lose,” but he also said “… leadership must be reigned in.” A two-fer!)

“Hey, man, you drop a 302 into that Metro?”: Speaking of fast teens, the Indy Star reports that a police clocked a Valparaiso teenager at 142 mph. As a teen, I once did 80 in my mom’s Ford Escort, going downhill with a tailwind. Andy Granatelli would have been so proud.
