Associated Press writer Paul J Weber, covering a breaking story both horrific and tragic, managed to make me laugh out loud with his awkward phrasing and inept attributions. I'll admit, it doesn't help that I have a morbid sense of humor and a skewed view of humanity in general. And he can't help that Smith county, Tx, has a sheriff named Smith.
I hope the link comes through I found this on Yahoo News.

Thanks for sharing, Ozment said.

Here's a quite shocking juxtaposition: when I opened up the link, the advertising banner next to the story featured the faces of leering zombies (it was an ad for Netflix).
