you can always count on the New York Post to come through with the best headlines on any story. Like this one on Hosni Mubarack.
When iOwnTheWorld.com runs the front page of the New York Post, you can consider it just another demonstration of their lack of creativity. When we do it, you can consider it an exposé of their lack of creativity.
Either way, you can always count on the New York Post to come through with the best headlines on any story. Like this one:

In a rapidly changing world, there’s always one thing you can count on: Remarkably graphic, if not always tasteful, headlines from the New York Post.
For example, they announced the possibly accidental, possible suicide, possible homicide death of actor David Carridine with the headline “Hung Fu.”
On one hand, we can say it’s incredibly tasteless.
On the other hand, the odds of a guy accidentally hanging himself while performing auto-erotic asphyxiation in a town called Bangkok while making a movie called “Stretch” would be unbelievable if someone made it up.
It’s the tragic-comic trifecta.

On President Obama’s 100th day, CNN did one of its pathetically weak periodic attempts to show its lack of bias by presenting a list the President’s Top 10 faux pas.
Despite the fact that the New York Post was able to put together a list of 100 presidential screw-ups, here’s the best CNN could come up with.
10. Screwing up the oath of office (although CNN laughingly blamed it on Chief Justice Roberts)
9. Whacking his head getting into Marine One
8. Bowing to the Saudi king.
7. The First Lady touches the queen
6. Making the Special Olympics gaffe on the Tonight Show
5. Stepping on wife’s dress during an inauguration dance
4. Teleprompter woes
3. His daughters talk too much
2. Saying Nancy Reagan had a séance
1. Michelle called the new First Dog as Barney instead of Bo (although this was really Michelle’s faux pas)
The way we count it, the score was Barack 6, Michelle 2, Chief Justice Roberts 1, Malia and Sasha 1. In the end, CNN could only find six Obama faux pas. Somehow, they overlooked the foreign policy gaffes, the diplomatic woes, his domestic policy problems, his god awful history of nominee troubles, the exploding deficit, and on and on.
But they did notice that he stepped on his wife’s dress. This is truly investigative journalism at its finest.

The NAACP has called for a boycott of the New York Post. In other words, they’ve endorsed censorship.
In a truly bizarre distortion of reality, the organization called the Post’s infamous chimpanzee cartoon “an invitation to assassinate” President Obama.
Benjamin Todd Jealous, the aptly-named president of the NAACP, called for the removal of editor Col Allan and long-time cartoonist Sean Delonas.
Earlier this week, the newspaper apologized to anyone who may have been offended by the cartoon. But the NAACP says the apology was insufficient and called for readers to boycott the Post.
This is like looking at clouds. I look at one and see a cute little bunny. You look at the same cloud and see the violent, Lee Harvey Oswald of chimpanzees.
In the immortal words of Mick Jagger, “Hey, you, get off of my cloud.”

No issue can be considered truly trivial until Reverend Al Sharpton tosses in his two cents.
Now the irascible old racemonger complains that a New York Post cartoon links President Obama to a violent chimpanzee. He deems it “troubling at best,” “offensive,” and “divisive.”
The cartoon shows a bullet-ridden chimpanzee and two cops. One of the cops is holding a smoking gun. The other one says, “They’ll have to find someone else to write the next stimulus bill.”
The cartoon is an obvious reference to the chimpanzee that was shot and killed by Stamford, Connecticut police on Monday after it mauled a woman.
The latest news reports say the chimp often ate steak and lobster for dinner, then shared a nightly cocktail with his owner before cuddling in bed with her.
Sharpton’s way off base on this one. Looks like an obvious Bill Clinton reference to us.
Reverend Al Sharpton if offended, horrified, and absolutely disgusted that a New York Post political cartoon compared – in his mind – Barack Obama to a monkey. And that comparison is RACIST.
Seemed to us that we’d seen numerous cartoons and PhotoShopped images comparing former President Bush to monkeys. So we did a few Google Image searches.
“Bush” and “simian” generated 38,000 images. “Bush” and “baboon” got 46,300. “Bush” and “orangutan” got 48,800. “Bush” and “chimpanzee” got 132,000. “Bush” and “ape” got 170,000. “Bush” and “chimp” got 182,000. “Bush” and “gorilla” got 356,000. “Bush” and “monkey” got 1,220,000.
Hard as this may be to believe, we can’t recall the good Reverend ever coming to President Bush’s defense and declaring these images racist.
We were going to end this by calling Sharpton an ignorant baboon. But we didn’t want to insult the baboon.
