Here’s a curious pairing of headlines from the Washington Post website. John McCain, as he has been and will continue doing for the next eight years, called Obama a softie who ignorantly treats our enemies like actual human beings. Obama thinks *talking* to dangerous regimes, in some form, will achieve anything? Like a truce or something? Go back to Harvard, Columbia elitist! Talking with the enemy will only result in twenty more 9/11s and universal cancer. [Washington Post]

Huzzah! Thank you A1 of this morning’s Washington Post; we had no idea that there was a lesbian hunchback detective raping suspects.

The online headline now reads, “Detective’s Hunch Led Her to Suspect in Rape.” So she’s still a hunchback detective, but isn’t raping suspects anymore.

This just about sums it all up.
