Hi Shea, big red 
Oh, what a wonderful selection of headlines. Do you think they were accidental "on purpose" e.g. Prostitutes appeal to Pope!. Panda mating fails. Vet. takes over". ?
Thank you so much brightening my day.!!
Much affection,

I've seen "Red tape holds up bridge"
many times before. You'd think headline-
writers would have learned to avoid
it by now. Or, they *know* it's going
to provoke laughs, but use it anyway
on the theory that readers notice such
things and are more likely to remember them.
Key: Complain about this post
