I boxed myself into a corner years ago when I decided, as a personal challenge to myself, I would only use lyrics as headlines for my posts. It’s a stupid, stupid unforced error, one that reduces my traffic — Google bots don’t have any idea what I’m writing about, putting an obstacle in the way of someone who might search for something I’ve written — and leaves me wracking my brain to conjure up a lyric with a reasonable-enough degree of relevance to my subject matter. This makes me a slower blogger than I would otherwise be. But people like it; they expect it of me at this point; and I am not ready to admit that this experiment was in error. Sometimes I put myself in circumstances just so I have an excuse to use a favored lyric.
However. Adam Serwer at Tapped has just beaten me at my own game. I am man enough to admit that.

It’s noon and this is your fifth post of the day, If you think it’s slowing you up, maybe you don’t think twice
I woulda thunk Gwen Ifill was all about Michael Steele.
Why? She doesn’t seem to buy into phony politicians who do nothing but pander and peddle bullshit. She isn’t fucking Chris Matthews.
