New York Times

Chicago Tribune

Los Angeles Times

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I’ll leave you to figure out the mysteries of these images, except that I want to make it clear how hilarious I think it is that the Post-Dispatch proudly displays yesterday’s most e-mailed instead of today’s. If I lived in St. Louis, I think I’d switch on KMOX every few hours just to make sure that aliens haven’t blown up the White House. Yet.
