A program of light entertainment followed
"Bad bad bad headline," writes a reader:
State Trooper Praised at Amish Shooting
Yep. Though it's nice to see that sort of event making time to honor our public servants, isn't it?
Complaint sustained, and hed is sent to bed without supper. Hed writer, on the other hand, now has reservations on unheated train to Siberia.

And yet lots of places didn't change the hed. Though that's not particularly surprising.
I kind of miss the days when editors laughed at AP suggested heds. Or at least had time to laugh at them.
Yet another reason to have a human editor have some say about what the wires are putting up on newspaper Web sites. Putting the wires on autopilot allows this headline to proliferate.
I'll say it again: Firefighters help burn survivors. Thank you Columbia Missourian for years of humorous heds.
You'll be glad to know the Missourian is still feeding hed collections across the land. As is the Trib.
How's the transition going? Are you going to maintain a regular blog or just post occasionally at SND?
