Headline writing is an art. You have to tell a whole story in a few words, or at least catch the attention of the reader so that he will read the complete article.
One of the best examples of a good, no brilliant, headline came 30 years ago when the New York Daily News screamed in a page 1 banner head: 'FORD TO CITY: DROP DEAD'
The headline caught the essence of the story in five words. At the height of a fiscal crisis, President Ford had declined to bail the city out. Those five words lost him New York State in his 1976 race against Jimmy Carter, and with it, the presidency.
After voters repudiated Bush's war in the last election, he has told the public; 'DROP DEAD'.
He's not going to change course. We can't change his mind, so we'll have to change presidents.
Impeach the bastard.
