Monster post a day late because I am amazingly easy to distract.

Yesterday was election day, and I discovered the frustration of trying to work the word "incumbent" into single column headlines. (They are the bane of any copy editor's existence.) Almost got a Final Fantasy VI reference into the paper with the use of the word "returners" in a headline, but unfortunately the paper was sent off before we got complete election results, and using a word with such obvious implications (even if the incumbents were winning at the time) is not a good idea. Plus, I'll admit it sounded awkward. Oh well! It was late, and I was just trying to push stories through the chain of editing as quickly as I could.
