What's Going On?*

James Taranto finds these headlines because he gets paid to find them. The fun part is that they pose some really big questions absent the actual article or sometimes even with it.

"Obama Interrupting Summer Vacation With Trip to DC"--headline, Associated Press, Aug. 8

"Supreme Court Sets Execution Date for Ringo in Ruby Tuesday Slayings"--headline, Columbia (Mo.) Tribune, Aug. 8, 2014

You don't really need to find out
What's going on
You don't really want to know
Just how far it's gone...
