"Everything Seemingly Is Spinning Out Of Control," Best of the Web!


A while back, I cited an AP article (link) titled "Everything Seemingly Is Spinning Out Of Control," and made fun of it. Well, I wasn't alone in noticing the absurdity of that concept, being spun as a news story. James Taranto at the WSJ "Best of the Web" column has now dedicated a whole segment of his column under this title. I'm excerpting all of the ones I can find right now, but you should look him up, if you like to laugh with your political commentary.
