    I love 'em!

    ...but...

    those are not from 2004, necessarily. In fact, "Red Tape Holds Up New Bridge" is the title of a book that was on the syllabus of a journalism class I took in 1991.

    They're still funny as hell, though.

    I sent a few of those to Jay Leno once. The one I can remember was "Firefighter to be charged with battery." It ran in the paper I work for.
