footprint the size of . . .
That headline appeared with a story about the Lone Star state producing more greenhouse gases than California and Pennsylvania — the second- and third-ranking states — combined.
Second place went to senior editor Michael Roehrman:

That one was above a story about a fourth-grade class at Gammon Elementary being excited to meet their pen pal, a soldier who recently returned from his second tour in Iraq.
Third place also went to Roehrman.

This was with a story about the Kansas Humane Society having so many puppies that they were offering them for half price.
