Where Is Jay Leno When We Need Him?


We do not mean to make light of anyone’s passing. But we had to laugh at an unfortunate headline accompanying a story about the funeral arrangements for Robert Byrd, the iconic U.S. Senator who passed away earlier this week.

The point of the story was that Byrd's body will lie in repose in the U.S. Senate Chamber, a high honor. But the headline read:

Byrd to Lie in Senate

A somewhat lesser distinction.
