Two Headlines That Weren't What I Thought

Two Headlines That Weren't What I Thought

I got suckered this AM by two headlines that, while they misled me, were nonetheless interesting:

Register: 'F NADER' plates offensive at any speed. NOT a disgruntled Dem who's still whining from 2000. No, this guy had an older grudge against Ralph:

For the past five years John Miller's 1966 Chevrolet Corvair has had personalized license plates with the letters "F NADER." The message has been an inside joke among classic car enthusiasts.

But Iowa Department of Transportation officials don't share Miller's humor. They have asked him to remove the plates and to surrender them to the Boone County treasurer's office.

"Usually, it doesn't raise an eyebrow. It just brings a chuckle," Miller said. When strangers have asked him what the "F" stands for, he has responded in jest that it's an initial for "Fred," and that he's Ralph Nader's brother.

Press-Citizen: Residents upset about new road. NOT Newport Road. This is a preview of another upcoming battle: extending Mormon Trek. A trailer court seems to be in the way. Doubt any coaches live there.
