Boy, That's Some Good Shit

Obviously, the departure of Donald Rumsfeld is good news, although I can't help but think that the President is just finally changing out of his Cosby sweater.

Occasionally, when I stop into my local bodega to buy some milk, I take note of the tabloid headlines. They're always good for a giggle or comforting word. For example, after the Mets lost, I think it was New York Newsday (the ugly stepsister of tabloids) that had the best headline: "Ya Gotta Bereave."

This morning, though, it was the usual suspects covering the Rumsfeld ouster with their usual sensitivity. The New York Daily News went with Bush showing Donny the door with the thought bubble, "Don't Let the Door Hit You on the Way Out," a sentiment many of us can relate to.

But it's the New York Post, famous for its Rupert Murdoch right-wing reactionary nature, that wins today's headline war. They kept it simple and to the point. "Rums Felled." On the inside, they're discussing the Midterm Massacre and feature another quality headline: "Cut-n-Rum."

With the AP declaring Webb the winner in Virginia, it's a pretty good week to be a Democrat.

Of course, I still don't feel comfortable calling myself a Dem, so let's just say that it's a good day to be a voter who caucuses with the Democrats.
