Am I the only reader of this blog that finds the "Early Addition" tag ridiculous? To what are you adding? It should be "Early Edition" if your desire is to give an early day update of the news in the city. "Early Addition" is poor usage and probably an indication of a NYC public school education.
FWIW: It was introduced to mean an additional post.
ECONOMIC SAW
To no one's surprise
Trying times
Are the opposite of
Buying times.
So give a listen,
Heed the drift,
Depression demands
You practice thrift.
You're not surprised,
You say you saw
The damn thing coming?
I caw with awe.
You're Trump No. 2
(Guffaw, guffaw),
Always unscathed
(Now close the daw.).
The Dems honeymoon with Obama is already over?
Sure, it says so right there in the linked article's second paragraph.
I have always taken "Early Addition" to be a kind-of-clever play on the newspaper term "Early Edition," in that it's essentially the same type of post as the daily "Extra, Extra" but unlike with a print paper a post here isn't a separate "edition."
It'd be "poor usage" if it were grammatical usage in a sentence, but it's not. It's the title of a feature. Certainly I see nothing ridiculous about it.
