Today's paper reads like the News Updates from Saturday Night Live or a segment on The Daily Show. No wonder their writers produce such funny skits; the real news begs to be satirized.
So, Wal-Mart follows Costco in the coffin business because Wal-Mart's business model is "to get people to plan ahead". I can't wonder who'll be selling the nails for those coffins.
The headlines that Costco now accepts food stamps is next to the headline that the Bay Area's RICH are more optimistic. My head is spinning! Are the rich using food stamps? Did my eyes play tricks on me? Are the Bay Area wealthy ordering Wal-Mart coffins? In time for Halloween?
Juxtaposed headlines can make items "pop". Or just snap and crackle.
