Illustrating Absurdity

Sometimes headlines, like sound bites, can be particularly illustrative of the absurd. Â Here a few from my morning reading:
From the Wall Street Journal:
"The GOP's Racial Challenge" Republicans can't win in the future without more nonwhite votes.--Zoltan Hajnal.
So the elections of Marco Rubio, Allen West, Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Brian Sandoval, and Susana Martinez were a reflection of a whites-only voting bloc? Â Can someone place some coffee under Zoltan's nose to wake him up?! Â Manny Lopez of the Detroit News paints a more accurate portrait. New faces of hope for GOP.
From the New Jersey Star Ledger: "Pelosi's plummeting popularity is a burden to Democrats". Â When was she ever popular? Â The Botox Hammer has always been egregious. Â Except now, she doesn't have a majority running interference for her--they all got booted--thanks, in no small part to her leadership. Â Bye, bye, Nancy. Â Don't let the doorknob hit you on the way out.
