Kansas newspaper headline amuses smug New York blogger

January 31, 2011
Nadia Pflaum,

Hey, look! Some ink-stained wretch at Kansas’ Leader & Times inadvertently made a funny! And someone in New York saw it!

The headline: “Hooker overcomes illness, slaps Beaver.” And, yeah, the article was about a high school basketball game.

This is how we residents of flyover states confirm our existence. Ahhh.
