Norwegians facing a shortage as Easter nears are hoarding eggs from neighboring Sweden

That's not even a sentence, what the fuck, AP?

I don't know if you saw my other AP post but they said the Pope was "looking strong" and mentioned him giving "marching orders". Something weird is going on over there. In the past I've mentioned how much I like AP's sedated, "just the facts" reporting due to their newswire history. I hope they haven't decided to shake things up. It's a worry they have.

They had an excellent live page for the Gaza war but just ~6 weeks into the fighting they ruined it by crippling the "live" part and removing time stamps. [Ninja edit. I just checked to make more fun of AP but it seems the page is back to normal and worth following.]

it's clunky and awkward, but it does parse

"Norwegians facing a shortage as Easter nears" is the subject, with an extended adjectival phrase

Norwegians facing a shortage as Easter nears are hoarding eggs from neighboring Sweden

We could phrase it more naturally like

Facing a shortage as Easter nears, Norwegians are hoarding eggs from neighboring Sweden

It needs commas I think.

Norwegians, facing a shortage as Easter nears, are hoarding eggs from neighboring Sweden.
