Best totalitarian headline of the day

From the Toronto Star: "Obama touches every base for the masses."

Best totalitarian lines from the same story: "A hush fell. More words – 17 minutes of words. And the Poet-in-Chief hit every mark."

Runner up: "Where the teeming masses stood, the passing of power came as crescendo, with fluttering flags and frenzied joy."

News bulletin: The poet-in-chief inspires frenzied joy.
