The death watch of Pulitzer 1
A newsdesk coorespondent is saddened to report the near death of Pulitzer 1. The newsdesk's first innerstellar launch vehicle has wilted in size and looks like a green prune as it hangs sickly over the launch pad, its taut space cable now limp.
Pulitzer 1 now dangles a scant 12 feet above the surface a shadow of its former self which flew gallantly above the newsdesk for days.
One fears, of course, that it may come down in flames atop Mrs. Sterling Higgs later tonight, or, worse yet, that it would have to be put down in a balloonatarium gesture.
Of course Pulitzer 1 gained fame when it was involved in one of the great rescues of our time, the retrieval of another launch vehicle which had rocketed to the Plain Dealer ceiling, seemingly to be lost in the newsroom space.
We salute you Pultizer 1, you served your newsdesk well.
