A Public Service to the RC Journal and Associated Press
Even though I'm teaching math instead of English today, I felt it my duty to correct the glarring error in the headline of an Associated Press story that appears in today's Rapid City Journal.
The headline reads:
Ashlee Simpson to Perform on 'Oprah'
It should read:
Ashlee Simpson to 'Perform' on 'Oprah'
Now get on with your day.

This is a tough one. And I don't believe the Associated Press Journalist Style Book addresses this problem. The RCJ, unlike the GCN, or Fox News, for that matter, has to abide by confining expressed opinions of the staff to the editorial page. Otherwise it ain't journalism, folks, it's just ranting! This isn't nearly as funny as the physics based humor!

Ranting -- GOOD!!
Ranting under the umbrella of legitimate, unbiased journalism -- BAD!!
