Unseemly Juxtapositions
Jeremy Blachman of Crescat Sententia has done a horrible, wonderful thing: taken samplings of recent Lexis/Nexis headlines about the Boston Red Sox Base Ball Squadron and Palestinian Ghoul Yasser Arafat and swapped key words. To wit:
"Successors jostle for position as Red Sox cling to life"
"Red Sox alive but condition is 'very complex', say French"
"Arafat has little hope of returning to the Bronx"
"Red Sox death to be announced Tuesday"
"Arafat beats long odds; Mo's blown save gives him life"
"Israel says it is preparing for rise in violence after Red Sox death"
"Red Sox condition still a mystery as Palestinian leaders head to Paris"
"Arafat fans destined to suffer"
"Red Sox linger"
"Fenway to rescue; Arafat hopes old ballpark can save him"
"With Red Sox between life and death, minds turn to 'day after'"
"Arafat hopes to 'shock the world'"
"Rivals on Red Sox death watch"
"Not in danger -- Officials deny Red Sox are dying"
"Ortiz 12th inning homer keeps Arafat's hopes alive"
"Aides want Red Sox dead, wife says"
"Arafat hopes for 'monster' comeback"
Does it make me a bad person if I think this brings the funny?

Those are pretty funny. Death
Those are pretty funny. Death and sports metaphors are remarkably related.
