Apparently, young people are willing to buy newspapers, as long as the headline reads: “Yes He Can!” or “Yes He Did!” or “Oh-Bama!” Papers across the country, including the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette sold out of their product Wednesday, one day after Barack Obama’s historic triumph. In Chicago, Washington and Atlanta, they restarted the presses, I understand.

Here in Little Rock, I managed to find a copy of USA TODAY with the headline “America makes history: OBAMA WINS” but I had to visit three newsstands before I was able to get my hands on one. From the recycle bin, I managed to fish out an extra copy of our day-after-election edition. Are the newsstands empty in your cities, too?
