Chyron of the Day: The Wearing of the Green

Yeah, okay, we get it, it's St. Patrick's Day and even though no one would don mouse ears for a foreign policy speech on Halloween, or wear a yarmulka on Good Morning America during the high holy days, people trot around with bows and scarves and ties and...

Chyron of the Day: Go Huck Yourself

Media outlets can't resist screwing with Mike Huckabee's name. Like bugs to those lamps that kill bugs, they flock, desperate to bask in the glow of their own wit. While FOX News was the only outlet to use the candidate's name in lieu of a dirty word...
