God Damn You, NYT.

You get away with such snarky wordplay in serious news coverage.



Your headline writers are too damn talented. This is poetry, people, news-ish poetry that mocks the very idea of snappy headlines. Yes, I am jealous of their talent.



"Ragtag Taliban Show Tenacity in Afghanistan"

Snarky, clever, ironic, awesome bastards...

That is a very good title! I always have fun with headlines and I do try to have poetry influence my headlines a lot of the time. At my last college I was like the headline genie, because when they didn't have one for an article I could make one up in a couple minutes that was at least decent. Well, you gotta get people with the headline first.
