Thanks for clearing that up, Rich

From the Endless Somerville desk:

"In last week's column, my commentary about headline cliches was about newspapers in general, and not about the Times-Standard. In fact, we have some good wordsmiths on our copy desk who know when to pun and when to play it straight. Some favorite recent headlines:

'Trails Day celebration afoot.'
'County keeps safety on DA rifle request.'
'Bill would let highway billboards shine.'
'Giants get flushed in Flushing.' "


("Flushed in Flushing"?!)

We need to lie down now.
