-- One about a suspect government official

-- One about the Statue of Liberty

I think if you want to get the lead headline at CNN the thing to do is put an infant in the toilet of a fighter jet over Afghanistan, which is then discovered by a United States governor playing tennis in the plane aisle while wearing no pants and singing, "I Will Survive," thereby losing his job because it's on the taxpayers' dime, but he saves the baby, becomes a hero, gets re-elected in a landslide vote and holds a victory party holding the baby over the edge of the Statue of Liberty.
