Ok, newspapers, there are some people you shouldn't lay off

I was reading the LA Times this morning, and came upon this block of news briefs. It looks like some editor skipped a step or two.

(In case you hadn't noticed, the photo caption is a bit unfinished, too.)

[Quick edit: I meant to include another random tidbit that didn't deserve its own post. An amusing spam message got past my filters this morning, but rather than blogging about it myself I'll leave that to Wil Wheaton.]
