I’ve long suspected that the AP uses middle school interns to write its wire stories. Many of them are so riddled with grammar and spelling errors, and composed in such a plodding, pre-literate style, that it is difficult to believe that they are written by adults.

What? This article was written by Eichmann?

No, no, no — it was written by “little Eichmanns.” Much like Don Marquis’ Archy, they can’t quite reach the keys on a keyboard, so sometimes little typos like “Iraq” or “US Not Planning to Attack Iran” slip in. They are also too busy killing Palestinian children by proxy to proof-read.

It’s a good thing that they’ll both soon be part that new freedom loving country called Bushatopia, and we won’t have to worry about making these kinds of mistakes any more.
