TBD

TBD on Ning

I listed a few below, but it would be nice
to create 3 'ambiguous' headlines relating to current events--
ex Healthcare Reform, etc. Hillary-Head of State, etc.

These real newspaper headlines – gathered from local, national, and international newspapers across the globe – are ambiguous; you can see what the journalist meant to say, but in each case there is a more amusing interpretation of the headline.
