4. Ain't that the truth. Check this out:
I posted a thread with the bland (but in my opinion better) title:
http://journals.democraticunderground.com/ColbertWatcher/258">America's Permanent Refugee Population. It was unceremoniously ignored. It received no recommendations and 7 comments. 5 of the 7 were mine, 4 of those were kicks.

However, I wasn't about to accept that, so I reposted it with a new title: http://journals.democraticunderground.com/ColbertWatcher/264">***GRRR!!!! I'm so pissed!!!*** Under this new title, it got 23 responses (8 were mine, but I didn't kick it) and 12 recs.

Nothing beats a good sensational title.

My head is as red as a tomato ..... I'm holding it ....... holding ........

Hahaha ...... ha ...... mmmmph.....

7. Hillary Will Be The Next President
worked very well for me in the spring. Nothing special, just direct and simple. After Obama clinched, anything that referenced Hillary for VP would get you incinerated.
