the heat, it makes me crazy...

two headlines, slightly misread:

"Gates Announces New Air Force Leadership Team"

me: And another step for total world domination by Windows... oh, Robert Gates! Nevermind....

"Barack Obama called John McCain’s approach to economic issues 'a full-throated endorsement of George Bush’s policies.'"

me: oh, full-throated, not....[sweetly] ne-ver-mind....

In the late 1960s (when I lived in Manhattan), a NYTimes headline said -"Leary chosen as police commissioner."-

The Leary who came to mind: Timothy Leary.

No, "Deep Throat" was back in Nixon's administration.

I did precisely the same thing with the Gates headline. :)
