We at Dome can sympathize with the Associated Press.
Much like our abbreviated headlines here on the blog, they only have so many words to get across the subject of a particular story in the slugs they use. So legislature becomes "XGR" and verbs are dropped.
But when they run a slug like this one, they have to figure folks might get the wrong idea:
AP-NC XGR MARY EASLEY DRINKING
Of course, the story is about the first lady's efforts to curb underage drinking, but they really had us there for a minute, didn't they?
Hat Tip: Charles Jeffries
