worst small town paper in the world

I should stop reading my husband's hometown newspaper. But I can't help it--they put it up online and I can't stop myself from looking at the train wreck.

The writing, the headlines, the captions. It's all so remarkably bad.

For example. Read the caption on this photo. Then try to read the story.

The writer is the editor of the paper. He's like 100 years old and refuses to retire. When Christopher was going to school and working at the Gas & Sip across from the newspaper's office, Mr. Editor would walk over and buy an ice cream cone at 4 in the morning after putting the paper to bed. Then he would sit in a booth and promptly fall asleep, sitting up, holding the ice cream bar as it melted over his gnarled hand and puddled on the table top.
