    For those of you not familiar with the game, here’s the deal. See, where I live we have two things: very arrogant horny politicians and a certain 25 cent newspaper founded by Alexander Hamilton that is famous for its obnoxious headlines (“Headless Body in a Topless Bar” being an unsurpassed classic of a genre). 

    Whenever our politicians get caught – and they get caught with surprising regularity, I always try to guess what the headline in NYP is going to be the next day.

    My last try I was way off target: thy went with boring “I Quit”. This time I’m banking on “Dirty Tricks Guv Caught With a Trick”. What do you think the headline is going to be?

    In fact, I think Da Post Online should create a widget where you can try your hand in headline creation.

    At the office we have a pool on predicting tomorrow’s New York Post headline. My entry is “Gay Gov Greevy : I Quit”. Hmm, also could be “Geyvernator” or “Geyvernor”. Yep, I think I’ll stick with “Geyvernator”.

    Update: Nope, not even close.
