Posties Lose Their Head

January 14, 2007 at 9:19 am

The Sunday Washington Post is particularly gruesome.Go to the Outlook section and you that Tom Ricks runs this photo.

Saddam Hussein hanging

Then, in the Arts section, Tom Shales reviews HBO’S “Rome” with a picture of a severed head being held by the bloody hands of the executioners.

Yuck. The photo’s too disgusting to share with you on this family blog, but here’s what Shales writes:

Heads roll, literally. Antony tosses one into the trash during a visit to Vorenus

Hopefully next Sunday’s Post will be a bit easier to stomach. Perhaps cooler — and attached — heads will prevail.

HBO Rome

UPDATE: An alert reader points out this third decapitation story from Sunday’s Post: “N.C. Man Arrested in D.C. After Daughter, 4, Is Beheaded.”

Let’s just be glad that Sunday, Bloody Sunday is over.  The only one happy with Sunday’s Post must be Jack Bauer.

    I, personally, can’t get enough photos of him getting just what he desrved.

    Segue - I see you restrained yourself from commenting on the Wash Post magazine piece on the tinfoil-hat crowd.
