I'll give a few example, so you'll see how this works.
Story: Huckabee wins a primary.
Headline: Huckaboom!
Story: Huckabee loses a primary.
Headline: Huckabust!
While single syllable end words work well, you shouldn't be afraid to use longer ones.
Story: Huckabee is criticized by conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg.
Headline: Huckafascist!
Story: Huckabee polls poorly head-to-head against Democratic candidates.
Headline: Huckainelectability!
Now all we need is a Huckabee story that also involves a duck...
Or perhaps a sex scandal.

ReplyDeleteAhem. The buck stops here.
