I'm getting pretty sick of the heralds' bombastic lead lines.

It's like that old Ali G skit where he asks Sam Donaldson if to sell more copies, nespapers should run fake headlines, in big letters i.e. "War Starts", even if there is no war.

Then wehen you go to the page, it says "War starts with a W"

They are pretty embarrassing sometimes. The New York Post could be said to be "bombastic," too, but usually in a better cause and truly witty (I admit I only see what's posted here) -- like its "Dear Jon" with the troops' response to Kerry!
