Having built up a huge collection of newspaper articles for potential use in my column, I decided it was time to clean house for the new year, so here's a Pretzel Logic look at some recent ( and some sort-of-recent ) news story headlines from the Chicago Sun-Times.

If you're George Bush and you want to e-mail me at PretzelLogicDave@aol.com my guess is that you are way too freaking dumb to know how to do it.
