Amusing Headlines

Every once in a while, I'll read a headline that is worth a few yuks.

White House admits fault on 'Mission Accomplished' banner

"After shifting explanations, the White House eventually said the "Mission Accomplished" phrase referred to the carrier's crew completing its 10-month mission, not the military completing its mission in Iraq. Bush, in October 2003, disavowed any connection with the "Mission Accomplished" message. He said the White House had nothing to do with the banner; a spokesman later said the ship's crew asked for the sign and the White House staff had it made by a private vendor."

To this, all I can do is shake my head and smile.
