Best Totalitarian headline of the day

For yesterday from the Kansas City Business Journal: Obama plan will create or save 73,000 jobs in Missouri, 35,000 in Kansas

Hard to pick out a "best totalitarian line" from the "story." The piece presents a White House press release as news with no additional reporting whatever. Claims made in the handout are presented without qualification.

Down with obstructionism!

For today from the Chicago Tribune:

Joliet artist works on behalf of proposed labor law

Best totalitarian line from the story:
The Joliet artist recently completed a painting depicting President Barack Obama holding a copy of the Employee Free Choice Act—complete with his signature. The act has yet to be passed by Congress, but Farrell and union leaders hope that day will come soon.
Soon the workers will triumph.
