An awkward headline cannot be saved...BY ELLIPSES

The Fresno Bee is drunk on ellipses, using them to add suspense and drama to awkward feature story headlines. Today it was "Former refugees get a fresh start in a renovated house that also brings a Fresno neighborhood...NEW HOPE"

Yesterday it was "While their brethren enjoy riches spawned by gaming casinos, Indians barred from their tribes search for recourse, but U.S. laws and courts have left them with...NOWHERE TO TURN". Make it stop, our hearts can't take it.

Every little girl wants to be a prostitute for Halloween. Trick or treat.
