Those last two aren't bad. But I'll bet the Post itself comes up with something better for tomorrow's edition.

HEADLESS BODY IN TOPLESS BAR

KISS YOUR ASTEROID GOODBYE!
(Meteor misses earth; Post, 1998)

AXIS OF WEASEL

HOLY SHIITE

LADY IS A TRUMP

THE BUCK SHOTS HERE (Dick Cheney hunting incident, 2006)

WARM UP THE VIRGINS (Al–Zarqawi hit by airstrike, 2006)

It looks like this 'Write Your Own Post Headline' thing may have something to do with promoting a soon to be published book about New York Post headlines that my Google search turned up.

He should resign.

Now he is scared s-itless.
Wondering what else they have on him.

He isn't just a horny bastard who likes his salad tossed, but a criminal thug. Lots of wrong doing going on.

"Spitzer Swallows?"
