In the insanity that is my morning routine, I can never find the time to read the paper. I can only squeeze in a quick look at the headlines. Alright! I admit it. I'm hopelessly addicted to my snooze button. I need help.
Anyway, with this quick glance, usually while I'm guzzling coffee, I need to get an idea of what's happening, and the headlines usually give me the rundown. That's their only job as far as I'm concerned. Headlines are the quickest way to the news, and you should not have to read any further.
A perfect example of what I mean appeared in the February 26, edition of the Valley independent. The headline: "House sends Patriot Act extension to Obama" is a perfect headline to me. It tells me what is happening. It's concise. I need no more.
