Sorry- I used the lead-in title off of WNDs front page.

This is a silly request.

In general, headlines are not supplied by the author but rather by an editor with the purpose of attracting attention to the story. Here the editor is the FReeper who posted the story and he may feel that the FreeRepublic audience would be more attracted by a different headline.

I'm not suggesting that some alternate headlines might not be deemed inappropriate for reasons of profanity, personal attack, racism, violence, or other considerations of taste, but there should not be a blanket restriction on alternate headlines, IMHO.
