Right on schedule, actually

Sigh. Barely is the ink dry on this heartbreaking lede* of stunning originality in the Washington Post:

CHRISTMAS HAS come early for General Motors and Chrysler.

... when the Freep checks in with this annoying McClatchyism:

WASHINGTON -- 'Tis the season for making whoopee.

And this sports hed:
'Tis season for good hoops games

* Onpassed from the Upper Hinkson bureau by an agent who was editing for a paper in yet another time zone altogether. The online age doesn't look quite as depressing when it has editors in it.
