So here's us, on the raggedy edge.
Trees held us in on all four sides so thick we could not see / I could not see any wrong in you, and you saw none in me. — Woody Guthrie, Remember the Mountain Bed |

As with many aspects of life, journalism has gotten faster in the internet era. Publications that would have once been embarrassed to print a story with a typo barely notice them now, blaming the need to “publish quickly.”
In this speeding up the quality of journalism has changed as well. I can’t help but think that a headline like this one never would have appeared only a few years ago. The point of jail being to keep people in sort of implies that any escape (brazen, or otherwise) shouldn’t have happened.
Brazen escape from Regina Jail shouldn’t have happened: report
Last Updated: Thursday, March 12, 2009 | 6:21 PM
CBC NewsA heavily censored report on a brazen escape by six inmates of the Regina Jail in August 2008 says it wouldn’t have happened if the managers and staff were doing a better job.
The report, released Thursday, said that it is possible to deceive corrections staff from time to time, but the nature of the August escape revealed serious operational concerns.
That first paragraph is pretty good too.
