More Awesome Journalism

Hey, kids, I'm sorry I'm not as prancy as usual today, but what the heck is wrong with these people?

Today's Washington Post features an article about the freshly-caught serial arsonist. The writers, Michael E. Ruane and Paul Duggan, do an excellent job of summing up the case, although very little new information is available.

I take issue with the headline writer, though:

Arson Suspect's Low-Key Life

Hello? Low key? The man (who has confessed, and who has been linked to the crimes by DNA evidence) set dozens of fires, one of which killed an elderly woman, and successfully eluded the police for two years. Early reports indicate that the suspect told police that demons in his head told him to start the fires.

I guess the Washington Post and I just have different ideas of what constitutes a 'low-key life'.
