And suddenly...I put down my beef sandwich.
Article concerning glow-in-the-dark thongs, citing “complete coverage of the issue.”
I think there is an irony here.
Los Angeles Times - ELLIS ISLAND, N.J. — On a chilly afternoon, wind and rain whip through the broken windows of a small, dark room where people with tuberculosis once stared out at the Statue of Liberty and wondered if they would ever begin a new life in America.
On a chilly Monday afternoon, wind and rain whip through the windows of a large, well-lit room where a small stout Asian girl with much annoyance stared at her computer screen at the Los Angeles Times headline and wondered if it would ever begin a news story in a factual style.
I realize I trailed off at the end. Oops. Clumsy me.
washingtonpost.com - BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 31 -- The last thing Dario Gonzalez saw clearly was three blazing flares that shot toward the ceiling of the crowded nightclub.

AP - Andrew Hudnall stared at his lunch and agonized about whether his doctor might be unhappy with him. The 57-year-old heart patient had just bought a chicken sandwich from McDonald's — in the food court of the Cleveland Clinic, renowned for its research into heart disease. Even so, he said he agrees with efforts by the clinic's leading doctors to get some fast-food franchises out of the building.
