Dan, I’m not seeing what’s funny, witty or even clever about this headline or your analysis of it. Especially when one reads the story: “Analysts say that ceasefire appears dead and that a civil war that has already killed more than 65,000 has resumed.”

Reminds me of when the Star Tribune ran the headline “Tigers’ Owner Jailed After Woman Attacked.” I first thought it was Mike Ilitch, the owner of the Detroit Tigers, but then it turned out it was just some dude who owned some tigers.
